Melvin, Chief INTRODUCTION The Petroleum and Natural Gas Series of the Division of Geological Survey makes its first appearance with this issue. Part I reviews the current annual drilling activity. Part II presents new material and reproduces some of the old. It is hoped that this method of presentation may be continued. The works of Orton and Bownocker are well known to students of petroleum geology in Ohio. Nearly all of these volumes are now out of print. Many sections are of considerable interest from a historical standpoint and others remain pertinent in studies of Ohio geology. From time to time these sections will be reproduced. The reference files of the Oil and Gas Section of the Survey are being rapidly expanded. Soon we will be able to prepare detailed studies in almost any area of the State. Such studies, along with those prepared by other authors, will be included in this new series. Although Ohio has long since passed its peak in the production of oil and gas, there still remains many millions of dollars of these valuable minerals yet to be found. Their discovery will depend in great measure upon a renewed interest in petroleum geology research and increased activity on the part of the operators to explore areas still untested. It is the purpose of this new Petroleum and Natural Gas Series to stimulate and assist this search for oil and gas in Ohio. Robert L. Alkire • 1950 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The source data for Part I, Drilling Statistics for 195 0, was gathered by members of the Ohio Oil and Gas Scouts and made available through semi- monthly reports published by the Ohio Oil and Gas Association. Additional in- formation was contributed through the courtesy of Mr. J. C. Wilson and Mrs. Elma Coyne of the Division of Mines, Mr. Allan Johnson, Ohio Fuel Gas Com - pany, l'Jl:r. Walter Bates, Ohio Oil Company, and IV1r. George Lindberg, Sun Oil Company. The historical and statistical information contained in Part II has been de- rived from numerous sources. Oil and gas production and drilling statistics from 1875 until recent years were compiled from the U. S. Bureau of Mines Mineral Year Books. Oil production data from 1940 to date was taken from annual reports prepared by Mr. D. T. Ring, Vice-President, Preston Oil Com- pany, for the American Petroleum Institute. 11 Highlights, 11 an interesting review of Ohio's 0 firstsn in the search for oil and gas, was prepared by Mr. Kenneth C. Cottingham, Chief Geolo5i.st, Ohio Fuel Gas Company. "Secondary Oil Re- covery in Ohion was written in 1949 by Mr. Jack Cashell, Vice-President, Preston Oil Company. It is an authoritative review of oil recovery by this method in Ohio. During the nearly 30 years that Mr. J. C. Wilson has been associated with the Division of Mines he has witnessed most of the development of well drilling regulations now in force. At the writer's request, he has con- tributed an interesting and informative digest of these developments. The last bibliography on Ohio geology, prepared by the Geological Survey, was published in 1906. A new bibliography of petroleum and natural gas is presented here by Miss Ethel S. Dean and Mr. Gerie Garrison of the Survey staff. The writer expresses his sincere appreciation to all the authors for per- mission to reproduce their articles in this first issue of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Series. Particular commendation is due to staff members Miss Jeanne Morrow for excellent assistance in compiling statistics, editing, and proofreading, Mr. H. J. Flint, preparation of maps and charts, and Miss Doris Runkle, typing the final copy for printing. Their generous cooperation have made this publication possible. Robert L.

The failure of additional discoveries in these areas during the early months of 1950, along with slight increases in the price of oil, stimulated activity in the oil prdducing counties, especially those in southeastern Ohio. The prominent areas of oil discovery during the year occurred in Bowling Green Township, Licking County, and Newcastle Township, Coshocton County. There were no new outstanding gas areas found. A total of 1,141 wells were reported drilled in 48 counties in 1950. Of these, 666 were successful and 475 resulted in dry holes, an average of 42 per cent failures. Discoveries amounted to 144, 833, 000 cubic feet of gas and 10,328 barrels of oil per day initial. Footage drilled totaled 2,247,125 feet. Gas was found in 284 wells in 33 counties with reported open flows totaling 177,487,000 cubic feet per day. In 24 counties 282 new oil wells produced 7, 902 barrels during the first 24 hours. One hundred combination oil and gas wells were found in 17 counties and were reported to have produced 26,346, 000 cubic feet of gas and 2,426 barrels of oil during their initial period. The largest gas well reported during the year was completed in November by the Ohio Fuel Gas Company on the L. A. Starr•farm, Lot 5, Litchfield Town- ship, Medina County. The Clinton sand was found from 2,611 to 2,623 feet and produced 5, 740, 000 cubic feet natural during the first 24 hours after drilling was completed. The initial rock pressure was 960 pounds. Midland & Hunt discovered the largest oil well of the year on the S. S. Cooperrider farm in Section 3, Bowling Green Township, Licking County. This well found the Clinton sand from 2, 949 to 2, 99i feet and reached a total depth of 3, 009 feet. The pay section occurred at 2, 954 to 2, 989 and produced 220,000 cubic feet of gas and 64 barrels of oil natural during the first 24 hours. After being shot, well production was 620 barrels the first day, 430 barrels the second, and at the end of the first week 300 barrels per day. Ashland County led the State with a total of 136 wells drilled. Other active counties were: Perry 107; Washington 87; Knox 78; Monroe 73; Noble 61; and Meigs with a total of 5 8 wells completed. The four leading counties in gas discovered were: Perry 20, 172, 000 cubic feet per day initial; Knox 15,491,000; Medina 10,867,000; and Ashland 9,042,000. Perry County led in new oil discovered, with 2,545 barrels per day initial re- ported. Following Perry County were Licking County with 1, 83 0 barrels, Coshocton with 1,379, and Muskingum with 1,042 barrels.

This task force was originally named KIP-HAM in 1996. As a commission whose work was to monitor Human Rights issues, KIP-HAM received many reports and inputs from the community, both victims’ community and others who dared to express their aspiration regarding human rights issues that took place in their regions. In the beginning, KIP-HAM only received reports through phone communication but the public gradually grew brave in delivering their reports directly to KIP-HAM secretariat. In several meetings with victims’ community, there was an idea to form an entity that deals specifically with cases of forced disappearances as a response to continuous violent practices that had claimed many victims. The idea was thrown in by one of the victims’ mothers named Ibu Tuti Koto. It was finally agreed that a commission would be established to deal with cases of disappearances and victims of violence under the name of Kontras.

  • GCC Oil Exporters and the Future of the Dollar Forthcoming in New Political Economy
    Title: GCC Oil Exporters and the Future of the Dollar Forthcoming in New Political Economy Author: Bessma Momani- Assistant Professor University of Waterloo and Senior Fellow, Centre for International Governance and Innovation Bio: Dr. Bessma Momani is Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo and a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance and Innovation. Dr. Momani has written on the US Middle East Free Trade Area, Euro-Med initiative, economic integration of the GCC, EU-GCC free trade agreement, economic liberalization in Egypt, and extensively on the International Monetary Fund. In addition to three monographs, her articles have appeared in World Economics, International Journal, Review of International Political Economy, Review of International Organizations, World Economy, Global Society, Middle East Review of International Affairs, New Political Economy, Canadian Journal of Political Science, and Asian Affairs. Abstract: Since the early 1970s, the oil-exporting states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) led by Saudi Arabia, have played a key role in supporting the value of the US dollar by invoicing oil trade oil in dollars and by investing in US dollar reserves and securities. However, the United States‟ negative fiscal and current account positions have made many nervous about the sustainability of the US dollar as an international reserve currency. This article asks whether the GCC oil exporters will undermine the future of the dollar. Three factors are considered: the GCC‟s influence in changing the dollar-based invoicing of oil; emerging patterns in petrodollar recycling; and, the potential for diversification of GCC official reserves. The findings of this article suggest that despite some economic rationales in favour of loosening ties to the dollar, in the short term at least, the GCC will remain loyal to the dollar for political and security reasons.

    State of Ohio Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan Rev. January 2011 SECTION 4: LOCAL MITIGATION PROGRAM COORDINATION Section 4: Local Mitigation Program Coordination 314 State of Ohio Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan Rev. January 2011 4.1 LOCAL CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW The preparation of Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMPs) is a precondition for receipt of Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant project funds under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) which also requires that states examine LHMPs as part of their SHMP process. FEMA has established mitigation planning requirements for local jurisdictions to meet, among other things, to demonstrate that proposed mitigation actions are based on a sound planning process that accounts for the inherent risk and capabilities of the individual communities. The Ohio EMA Mitigation Branch administers the LHMP Program for the state. The Mitigation Branch supports and assists local governments in the development and update of LHMPs. In 2002 and 2003, significant amounts of federal and state PDM funds were provided to develop LHMPs. For the time period spanning from the 2005 plan to the 2008 update, the main planning emphasis of the Mitigation Branch has been to get LHMPs reviewed, adopted, and FEMA approved. From 2008 to 2011, the emphasis shifted to tracking LHMP progress and effectiveness in a quantitative way, and integrating plan information more significantly into the state plan. The focus during 2011-2013 will be populating the State Hazard Analysis, Resource and Planning Portal (SHARPP, see Appendix J) with local plan information that will enhance mitigation planning efforts statewide. Currently, Ohio has a very good LHMP participation rate.

    information t o u s e r s This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of usefs indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Outline of Ohio Project Paper: Economic Development
    Capturing the Emerging Market for Climate-Friendly Technologies: Opportunities for Ohio Executive Summary Increasing certainty that humans are changing the earth’s climate through emissions of greenhouse gases is creating a new market for climate-friendly products and services. As states and nations begin to address climate change by regulating greenhouse gas emissions and encouraging the use of clean energy, demand is growing for technologies such as wind power, biofuels, and cleaner coal power plants. Ohio’s manufacturing and agriculture sectors are already providing some of these solutions, and the state’s economy stands to benefit as a supplier of the technologies and strategies to tackle climate change. This paper briefly describes the factors driving the growing demand for climate-friendly technologies, some of the key existing companies, organizations, and resources in Ohio, and the potential for Ohio to become a leading supplier of climate solutions. These solutions include a new generation of lower-emitting coal technologies, components for wind turbines, and the feedstocks and facilities to produce biofuels. The paper concludes with recommendations for how Ohio can capitalize on these emerging opportunities. These recommendations include focusing and coordinating state funding of climate technology programs, promoting the development of climate-related industry clusters, and exploring export opportunities to states and countries with existing carbon constraints. Introduction The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the science academies of the other G8 nations and Brazil, China, and India have concluded that the global climate is warming in large part as the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) from human activities, mainly the burning of coal and oil.

Fracking Hydraulic fracturing or ‘fracking’ or ‘fracing’, is a well-stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources -- including oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and even water. The oil and gas industry is recently using hydraulic fracturing to enhance subsurface fracture systems so that oil or natural gas move more freely from the rock pores to production wells that bring the oil or gas to the surface. Over the last few years shale gas has become a viable energy source thanks to hydraulic fracturing technology which is used to extract it. Fracturing can be traced to the 1860s, when liquid [and later, solidified] nitroglycerin [NG] was used to stimulate shallow, hard rock wells in Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Although extremely hazardous, and often used illegally, NG was spectacularly successful for oil well “shooting.” The object of shooting a well was to break up, or rubblize, the oil-bearing formation to increase both initial flow and ultimate recovery of oil.

TODD HENDRICKS, DANIEL J. PHELPS & LAWRENCE A. GORDON ETTENSOHN, F.R., LIERMAN, R.T., MASON, C.E., ANDREWS, W.M., HENDRICKS, R.T., PHELPS, D.J. & GORDON, L.A., 2013:04:26. The Silurian of central Kentucky, U.S.A.: Stratigraphy, palaeoenvironments and palaeoecology. Memoirs of the Association of Australasian Palaeontologists 44, 159-189. ISSN 0810-8889. Silurian rocks in Kentucky are exposed on the eastern and western flanks of the Cincinnati Arch, a large-wavelength cratonic structure separating the Appalachian foreland basin from the intracratonic Illinois Basin. The Cincinnati Arch area experienced uplift during latest Ordovician-early Silurian time, so that the exposed Silurian section is relatively thin due to onlap and post- Silurian erosional truncation on the arch. On both flanks of the arch, dolomitic carbonates predominate, but the section on the eastern side reflects a more shale-rich ramp that faced eastern Appalachian source areas. In the Silurian section on the western side of the arch, which apparently developed across a platform-like isolation-accommodation zone, shales are rare except dur- ing some highstand episodes, and rocks in the area reflect deposition across a broad, low-gradient shelf area, interrupted by structurally controlled topographic breaks. Using the progression of interpreted depositional environments and nearshore faunal communities, a relative sea-level curve, which parallels those of previous workers, was generated for the section in Kentucky. While the curve clearly shows the influence of glacial eustasy, distinct indications of the far-field, flexural influence of Taconian and Salinic tectonism are also present.
