Drilling Activity Leads to Job Fair in Youngstown Next Week

By -
New jobs keep pouring into the state from the shale exploration, and next week will bring more opportunities for those looking to find employment.

According to an article on businessjournaldaily.com, a Swiss oilfield services company, Weatherford International, will hold a job fair at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center on Tuesday, March 13 and Wednesday, March 14.  The company is looking to recruit employees to work at a regional hub it is establishing in the area.  More after the jump...

While the exact location of Weatherford's new facility has not been announced, radio and web ads are announcing the job fair and inviting any who are interested to attend.  The ads direct people to Weatherford's website to view available positions.  Youngstown is the only Ohio location listed on that site.

The notice of the job fair at the OneStopOhio website states the event will be held March 13 from noon until 8 p.m. and March 14 from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at MCCTC, 7300 North Palmyra Road, Canfield.

Weatherford, which describes itself on its website as “one of the largest global providers of products and services that span the drilling, evaluation, completion, production and intervention cycles of oil and natural gas wells. Weatherford is a new breed of service company -- one that can provide the industry with extended products and services, more efficient operations, more powerful research and development capabilities and greater geographic diversity,” employees over 50,000 people in 100 countries.

All of this job creation in Ohio is very exciting.  We'll keep sharing stories like this one as they come in!

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -

  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
