I’ve visited Pennsylvania many times, but in my ignorance, I did not realize this state was the original source of oil for Americans. This is a very fascinating video: The Pennsylvania Oil Field That Changed Everything

Got some good tips to share with us all?

I really can’t decide who is more loathsome. The failed rapper islamunist husband or the failed artist hideous islamunist wife ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
Pennzoil. I once knew a rich guy who invested in Illinois oil. That surprised me. The US oil industry started in Pennsylvania and Canada’s started at Petrolia, Ontario, possibly earlier.
In fact….wildcatters (?) were recruited from Southwestern Ontario to Pennsylvania to exploit this new found ‘black gold’. Most Canadians don’t have a clue of the oil history in Ontario, the stuff is literally in the ditches. Pumping since the 1850’s

There’s also some 25,000 gas wells in the province as well….who knew?
Oil springs would like to have a chat. The first oil wells were drilled in Oil Springs. The first methods were ‘crude’, pardon the pun. Men jumping and down on spring board to pound a drill point in the ground. Lambton men went all over the world opening up the modern economic miracle of hydrocarbon energy
There was a shale oil industry in Ontario on the south shore of Georgian Bay. They literally cooked the rock to get the oil out of it. When drillable oil was discovered it died out because it wasn’t worth it anymore.
A lot like bidding on an abandoned storage unit.

I’m certain AOC is freezing her eggs just so she can have the obligatory abortion.

Interesting take. And probably accurate.
Imagine that? Oil SAVED the whales … long before Greenpeace chugged into the oceans powered by diesel.
But I find it ridiculous for this piece to repeat several times … that oil sparked Wars. Which War exactly? I can only think of one … and it didn’t take place anywhere near the Middle East. Or actual oil fields.

No, the Iraq War wasn’t started because of Oil or Blood for Oil or any of the simpleton sloganeering of the leftist fools. It doesn’t matter that some crazed old Boomer hag shoved her fake bloody hands in Condeleeza Rice’s face in Congress. Iraq’s oil wouldn’t ever make or break the oil markets in 2003.
Fools.

I grew up 20 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA, just south of Butler, PA (where President Trump was shot) and Zelianople, PA (where the exterior filming for the movie Night of the Living Dead, 1968, were shot).
In my small town there was still one oil rig in part-time operation on weekends. We boys would play around the small area reserved for the oil well.

When you’re broke, you owe your lawyers $17 million dollars, and your father is no longer selling influence.
Pity the poor lawyers who invested this much credit in Hunter fully expecting Joe Biden to get reelected.
Can’t he just sell 34 paintings?

My grade 9 auto mech. teacher pounded into our heads that only oil from Pennsylvania should be used in an automobile…something about “natural “wax” yada yada yada.
Anything else was garbage.

Huh, interesting, but probably nothing.
Standard Oil. S O
Still in Canada, ESSO, phonetics, ESS = S, O = O.
ESSO = SO = Standard Oil.
