	Sunday, August 25, 2002 Oil & Gas 2002 Maximizing energy opportunities (Debra Guerra-Vasquez) Take the fast-growing energy needs of Mexico, add the growing needs of Texas and the results are opportunity and challenge for U.S. companies willing to invest in a long-term relationship with Mexico. Desk & Derrick Club: professional, not social group (Kathy Edwards) You may have heard of the Desk & Derrick Club, but don’t have any idea who the members are or what the organization actually does. If the current members stick to their mission of education in the community and schools, you will soon be better informed. Petrochemicals and how I use them (Nicollette C. Moore, Essay Winner) Petrochemicals are chemicals made from petroleum or natural gas. Carbon black was the first chemical created from petroleum. Senate bill balancing act for regulators (Kathi Stapp) Texas Senate Bill 310 began innocently enough. Everyone agreed that it was important to protect Texas groundwater and to protect the environment of the state. From that point on, there has been little agreement between the Texas Railroad Commission and Texas independent oil and gas producers on the controversial legislation. Alliance success evident (Bill Stevens) As the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers approaches its third anniversary, the officers and members of the combined organizations wonder why the West Central Oil and Gas Association (Abilene) and the North Texas Oil and Gas Association (Wichita Falls) didn’t merge sooner. Texas Alliance of Energy Producers “Tools, Techniques and Technology” Fall Barbecue and Board of Directors Meeting Their agenda will keep you current on their major issues. Railroad Commission of Texas: On the forefront of research (Michael L. Williams) Oil and gas will always be the Railroad Commission of Texas’ bread and butter. It’s important that Texans also know more about some of the other things we do. A good example is our Alternative Fuels Research and Education Division. Texas natural resources: Oil and natural gas (Charles R. Matthews) Natural resources always have played a very important role in U.S. history. Much of the success this country has had in its 200 plus years has come about because of our abundant natural resources. Energy strategy approval imperative (Charles W. Stenholm) Now more than ever, our nation is confronting a potential energy challenge that threatens the productivity of the oil and gas industry as well as the quality of life of our nation’s citizens. Finding the right balance -- Need for production not incompatible with resource preservation (Tony Garza) The oil and gas industry remains an integral part of our state’s economy. Yet, while we need to encourage energy production, we would be wise to do so with an eye toward responsible stewardship of Texas’ other natural resources, particularly water. The oil and gas industry means jobs for West Texans (Rob Beckham) One of the most difficult is our increasing dependence on foreign oil. President Bush has put forth a comprehensive energy plan that I believe moves this country in the right direction. Energy bill possible production catalyst -- Peak in reserves not as gloomy as some predict (Kathi Stapp) It isn’t really a new story — the world is facing a rapid decline in oil reserves. That is precisely what a group of experts said again at last May’s petroleum conference at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. Copyright © 1995- , E.W. Scripps Publications, All Rights Reserved.
