This Week in History

April 24, 1911 - Magnolia Petroleum Company founded
Magnolia Petroleum will adopt a "Flying Pegasus" logo in the 1930s.
The Magnolia Petroleum Company is founded as an unincorporated joint-stock association - a consolidation of several earlier companies, the first of which began by operating a small refinery in Corsicana, Texas, in 1898.
April 25, 1865 - Civil War Veteran patents Explosive Technology
The invention - patent no. 47,458 - is among the major technological achievements of the U.S. petroleum industry. This early oil patch fracking method also leads to coining of the term "moonlighter."
With its exclusive patent licenses, the Roberts Petroleum Torpedo Company charges up to $200 per torpedo "shoot" and a one-fifteenth royalty of the increased flow of oil.
Seeking to avoid the fee, some oilmen secretly hire unlicensed practitioners who operate at night with their own devices - and the term moonlighter enters the American lexicon.
The first commercial "Frack" takes place in 1949 east of Duncan, Oklahoma. By 1988, the technology will have been applied nearly one million times.
For enhancing modern petroleum production, Halliburton and Stanolind companies will complete the first commercial hydraulic frack in March 1949 a few miles east of Duncan, Oklahoma. Oil and natural gas production today rely on the technology.
"Since that fateful day in 1949, hydraulic fracturing has done more to increase recoverable reserves than any other technique," says a Halliburton service company spokesman.
April 26, 1947 - Petroleum Industry begins Radio Campaign
Founded in 1919 in New York City, the American Petroleum Institute will move its headquarters to Washington, D.C., a decade later.
For the first time since its establishment in 1919, the American Petroleum Institute launches a national advertising campaign.
April 30, 1955 - "Landmen" form Trade Association
The American Association of Petroleum Landmen locates mineral owners and negotiates leases.
The American Association of Petroleum Landmen is organized in Fort Worth, Texas.
Landmen research records to determine ownership, locate mineral and land owners and negotiate oil and natural gas leases, deals, trades and contracts as well as ensuring compliance with governmental regulations.
The association today reports a membership of about 13,000 - including 46 affiliated associations in the United States and Canada.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month
The National Safety Council promotes April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month and encourages everyone to take the NSC pledge to drive cell free at www.nsc.org/pledge.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, driving while talking on a cell phone puts drivers at a four times greater risk of an injury-causing crash.
A significant amount of vehicular cell phone use is done on the job. Many businesses have already acknowledged the injuries and costs associated with this behavior by adopting policies that ban cell phone use by employees on the roads. Among National Safety Council member organizations that responded to a 2009 survey, 58 percent said they have company policies prohibiting on-road cell phone use. Of the businesses without policies, half said that they are somewhat to very likely to implement policies within the next year.
"Anyone with a busy job knows the temptation to multitask and stay in touch with the office while driving," said Janet Froetscher, president and CEO of the National Safety Council. "Believe me, I've been there. I didn't realize how much risk I was taking. Most people don't. Employers understand how dangerous the behavior is and their potential liability. We are asking all businesses to join us by adopting policies banning talking and texting while driving on the job."
ENERGY worldnet, Inc. encourages all of our clients to help protect their employees while they are on the road. A fact sheet, data resources and other information concerning employer actions to reduce cell phone use while driving are available on the NSC Website at www.distracteddriving.nsc.org. |
| Alagasco to Track Natural Gas Vehicle Benefits |
Alagasco is working with Birmingham's City Action Partnership to demonstrate the benefits of natural gas vehicles.
Alagasco and CAP will track fuel costs associated with a 2011 Ford Transit that operates on natural gas.
Natural gas vehicles  are a good solution for fleets and businesses because of reduced emissions compared to gasoline and diesel. And research shows that an equivalent gallon of compressed natural gas provides the same miles per gallon as a gallon of gasoline.
Ed Smith, Alagasco's general manager of customer service, said the CAP vehicle will help demonstrate the significant savings and environmental benefits of natural gas vehicles. "Having this information helps other businesses and fleet owners see the real benefits of natural gas vehicles," Smith said.
The natural gas Ford Transit joins the rest of CAP's fleet, which includes two patrol trucks, one maintenance truck, two scooters and 10 bicycles.
"We've already seen a significant savings in fuel costs," said Teresa Thorne, CAP's executive director. "And we are proud to be contributing to a cleaner environment."
CAP uses its fleet to patrol the downtown district, providing security escorts and stranded motorist assistance. Last year, it responded to 14,000 calls for service. The Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority already operates 50 natural gas buses, 10 natural gas trolleys and 30 natural gas para-transit vehicles.
