Oil/Water Exploration by Harold White I have written a lot, and to some it is unbelievable or at least seems so. I imagine if people knew what I do works and is a scientific fact that I can find rivers and creeks of all the fluids (water, hot water, steam, salt water, gas), I would be a busy boy. I have made a science out of all this I write about. The flats, or Salt Lake area, or oceans . . . there are a lot of places that look good being salty, but a lot of things cannot live on salt water. The salt creeks have been carrying salt water to the ocean for an unknown amount of years, and it is still going on - and we are trying to drill freshwater wells. Saltwater creeks in some areas are self-sealed and self-contained. If you drill through one, then case and seal, and drill on down, that salt creek may just be travelling through. There may be a lot of salty layers the fresh water will pick up on the way up, making the fresh salty. If the total dissolved solids test changes for the better, it may indicate fresh water. Now on to a quest ion . . . Who believes in global warming? Well, there is a difference between believing and knowing. I think we all believe in it. It is written on the face of the earth, accord- ing to scientific studies and pictures, and the migration of the people and liv- ing things that were alive in that time period. As the ice receded to the North and South Poles, it was followed by the animals, including people and other liv- ing things, all leaving signs of the migra- tion. Apparently, we are still in this last ice age. If you enjoy the fear of this one, you may enjoy thinking about the next one.

ADS Services, LLC and Frontier International LLC have entered into a supply agreement to provide the onshore drilling market with a comprehensive, low-cost managed pressure drilling solution for onshore drilling applications. This agreement allows ADS to offer integrated pressure management systems and equipment for rental or sale within the Permian Basin, including both the Midland and Delaware Formations. Frontier has focused on creating low-cost, strategic technologies to the onshore drilling market, including pressure control systems, semiautomated well control systems, rig integration services, data analytics, and custom control-system apps for drilling performance and operational process safety. Caterpillar Oil & Gas won the Engine of the Year >175 horsepower award for its new 3512E Tier 4 Final with Dynamic Gas Blending engine. The well service engine provides the best diesel displacement rate in the industry at 85%, while also offering the widest fuel flexibility as it is able to operate on CNG (compressed natural gas), LNG (liquefied natural gas), pipeline gas, and field gas.
