Things I have learned from my most recent work project
- Natural gas is almost entirely methane
- Gas reserves tend to be deeper than oil reserves
- Conference calls are almost always a waste of everyone’s time (actually, I knew this already but the knowledge was re-inforced)
- One good point, made succinctly, can make a difference
- Oil wells can now be dug horizontally if need be
- The traditional Hollywood depiction of a successful find, with oil spurting hundreds of feet into the air, would actually be a disaster for an oil company
- Google can convert cubic metres into barrels of oil
Yes, I have been writing copy about the oil business.
