Adventures In Energy

Oil and natural gas are the lifeblood of the American dream, but these products do not rise magically from beneath the earth’s surface and into our furnaces, factories and vehicles. Cutting-edge technology is enabling us to achieve the same production capacity of 15 years ago with fewer wells. This means greater efficiency with less impact on the environment. Learn more about the industry’s legacy of environmental stewardship and the dramatic advances that are being employed in the search for and recovery of oil and natural gas.

Find out what happens when supply and demand for petroleum-based products occur in different locations around the globe. Be sure to visit the newest segment, Transporting Oil to the Refinery, which highlights the enormous contribution tankers make to America's energy needs. This module uses Flash technology.
