  • General Characteristics of the Petroleum Industry and Its Price Problems
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Price Research in the Steel and Petroleum Industries Volume Author/Editor: Committee on Price Research Volume Publisher: NBER Volume ISBN: 0-87014-189-9 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/unkn39-3 Publication Date: 1939 Chapter Title: General Characteristics of the Petroleum Industry and Its Price Problems Chapter Author: Committee on Price Research Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c5803 Chapter pages in book: (p. 82 - 94) 82 PART TWO state at the outset some of the limits of our inquiry as we have conceived it. The industrial field covered is indicated in Chapter II. It might be summarily described as the whole sequence of processes from exploration for oil to the deliv- ery of refined petroleum products to consumers. Within this field we have conceived it to be our respon- sibility not only to canvass the available statistical data upon current prices and costs (Chapter III), but also to examine critically the meaning, adequacy and reliability of these data and to suggest ways in which they might well be supplemented (Chapter IV). As we understand it, we were not called upon to make detailed investigations or tests of existing price information to verify our judgment of its character. Much less was it within our conception of the assignment to attempt the assembly of any concrete data not now available. Nor were we charged with making new applications of such data as we now have. In Chapter V we confine ourselves simply to outlining certain projects of inquiry which in our judgment should prove fruitful, and the more fruitful so far as the statistics of the industry's operations are made more adequate and reliable by sup- plementing existing compilations along the lines suggested in Chapter IV.

  • The Petroleum Find: Its Possible Impact on the Agricultural Sector In
    TheLawson Petroleum et al: Petroleum find: Find: possible Its impact Possible on the agricultural Impact sector in on Ghana the Agricultural45 Sector in Ghana: The Role of Soil Science I. Y. D. Lawson*, S. G. K. Adiku and S. K. A. Danso Department of Soil Science, School of Agriculture, College of Basic and Applied Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The opportunities the petroleum industry present comes with challenges that Ghana needs not to overlook. It is globally accepted that petroleum find is usually associated with the economic situation dubbed “Dutch disease”, whereby, the over-expectation of rewards from oil revenues diminish the attention paid to other sectors of the economy. The paper examines the potential impacts of the petroleum discovery in Ghana on its agricultural sector and the role of soil science in minimizing adverse effects. The agricultural sector is likely to lose its recognition as the backbone of the economy due to the discovery of petroleum in commercial quantities and having recently been overtaken by the service sector. An impact of the oil find could be the high risk of the agricultural sector losing its potential labour force to the petroleum industry. There is also the fear of neglect of the agricultural sector in future similar to what happened in some countries that experienced petroleum boom. Oil spillage could pollute farmlands, and gas flaring without temperature or emission control could pollute the air and release unacceptably high levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. There could be resettlement of farming communities and farmlands because of the fear of spillage and destruction of lands by oil and gas operations.

  • Program Review
    Post-Audit Review For Occupational Programs Implemented Under the Provisions of Series 37 West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education Institution: _Pierpont Community & Technical College_ Program (Degree and Title): _CAS and AAS Petroleum Technology_ I. INTRODUCTION The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Petroleum Technology provides curriculum to prepare students for mid-level positions in the petroleum industry as technicians working in gas and oil production, gas transmission, field services, and drilling. This is a cooperative program with the West Virginia Petroleum Industry and WV Northern CC. General education and specific applied technical courses provide students with a variety of educational activities and experiences through lecture, discussion, learning activities and realistic hands-on laboratory assignments. Embedded within the AAS program is a 30 credit hour Certificate in Applied Science (CAS) degree, that is completed within the first two semesters of the AAS program. The programs attracts approximately double the number of non-tradition students when compared to traditional aged (less than 24) students. These open enrollment programs build teamwork and provide a learning environment that enhances future employment. In addition, students have the option of completing a paid summer internship with various West Virginia petroleum companies between their freshman and sophomore year, further enhancing their skills and knowledge in real-world workplace scenarios. Although the required wage minimum for an internship position is $10 an hours, wages have ranged from $11 to $16 an hour. The US DOL predicts from 2012-2022 a 15% growth in the field nationwide. Pierpont has a 2+2 articulation agreement with Alderson Broaddus (A-B), all 60 credit hours are accepted into the Petroleum Management program at A-B.

  • Energy Sector Overview
    Energy Sector Overview Kevin Bertelsen & Matt Sedlacek February 18, 2014 Overview The energy sector is one of the sectors defined by the S&P500’s Global Industry Classification Standard’s indexes. It consists of two industries: “energy equipment and services” and “oil, gas, and consumable fuels” There are various sub-industries encompassed in each industry, drilling, equipment/service, exploration/production, refining/marketing, and coal/consumable fuels.1 Sensitivity The energy sector is sensitive to the business cycle. The industry works in a more cyclical fashion. Weather and seasons play critical role in the industry and cause an increase in demand for gasoline in the summer and a decrease in demand during the winter. Moreover, when people buy less at the pump it is reflected in less storage and transportation which in turn leads to less drilling and exploration. One exception to this cyclical fashion is natural gas. Natural gas sees a spike in demand during the colder months as people use it to heat their homes.2 Because of cyclical nature of the energy industry their earnings are also exposed to volatility. Expenditures The energy industry is known for large capital expenditures, research and development spending, and legal expenses. Capital expenditures include prospecting land for oil reserves, property, plant and equipment, and transportation of oil. Research and development spending has been used to pay for adaptations to the changing market and environment policy. Moreover, companies need to spend large amounts in research and development to be successful in order to stay ahead of the curve. For example, Exxon Mobil spent over 1 billion dollars in 2012 alone.
