2012 Conference & Expo Keynote Speaker
 Life for Eric Giguere only looked up. A capable worker with a good job and good pay, he married on September 28, 2002. Within a week, the newlyweds would be on their honeymoon. Six days after the wedding Eric went to work and looked forward to leaving for his honeymoon after his shift was over. That joy never came to be.
Eric had 5 years experience as a union laborer, and was two months into his first trenching
project. The crew was installing a 12-inch water main. Eric got down into the 6.5 foot trench to
inspect the pipe, and the trench walls collapsed. He was buried under several feet of soil. Eric
panicked. He was unable to breath under the crushing weight. His fear began to subside and a feeling of warmth and comfort overcame him. Eric was dying.
He regained consciousness in the hospital where he learned of the quick action of his team to dig him out. The doctors told Eric he suffered permanent brain damage from the lack of oxygen.
Despite the odds against any life other than one of permanent disability, Eric never stopped fighting to overcome what he was told was now impossible.
Eric is an average guy who had the typical attitude toward safety: "Accidents happen, but not to me", until the one that nearly took his life. Now Eric's mission in life is to make sure the arrogance he had toward safety doesn't become yours. His message is simple and serious, "This can happen to you."
Eric has consulted for many companies, such as National Grid, Thomas & Betts, NRG and Nucor Steel. He has spoken at many safety seminars including the Dival Safety Summit and the Eight Safety Seminars for Dig Safely New York. Eric relates well to the average "working man" and tells audiences about his personal story from the heart.
Eric will be the keynote speaker at the ENERGY worldnet, Inc. 2012 Annual Conference and Expo. Register now to attend by going to the conference website: http://conference.energyworldnet.com. Take advantage of our low "two for the price of one" attendee registration!

This Week in History
June 18, 1889 - Standard Oil Company of Indiana Incorporated
John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company establishes an Indiana-based subsidiary when Standard Oil Company of Indiana is incorporated. The company will begin processing oil the next year at a new refinery at Whiting, Indiana, southeast of Chicago.
June 18, 1946 - Truman creates National Petroleum Council
The National Petroleum Council, a federally chartered and privately funded advisory committee, is established by the Secretary of the Interior at the request of President Harry S. Truman to make recommendations with respect to any matter relating to oil and natural gas.
June 20, 1977 - Oil flows in Trans-Alaskan Pipeline
After three years of construction, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline begins carrying oil 789 miles from Prudhoe Bay to Prince William Sound. The oil arrives 38 days later, culminating the world's largest privately funded construction project at the time. A deciding vote in the U.S. Senate by Vice President Spiro Agnew had passed the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act on July 17, 1973.
June 21, 1893 - Birth of Electric Submersible Pump Inventor
Armais Arutunoff, inventor of a revolutionary oilfield electric submersible pump, is born to Armenian parents in Tiflis, Russia. He will develop an electrical centrifugal submersible pump in 1916. But after emigrating to America in 1923, Arutunoff cannot find financial support for his down-hole oil production technology.
June 21, 1932 - Oklahoma "Hot Oil" Controversy
Thirty National Guardsmen march into the Oklahoma City oilfield when Governor William H. "Alfalfa Bill" Murray takes control of production by creating a proration board he controls.
In March 1933, Murray declares martial law to enforce his regulations limiting the field's oil production - and prevent the sale or transport of oil produced in excess of the quota, often referred to as "hot oil."
The controversy ends in April 1933 when the Oklahoma Legislature passes House Bill 481, giving the Oklahoma Corporate Commission authority to enforce its rules - and taking away much of Governor Murray's power to regulate the oil and natural gas industry.
June 23, 1921 - Signal Hill reveals Prolific California Oilfield
A discovery at Signal Hill, California - one of the world's most famous oil strikes - launches a drilling boom 20 miles south of Los Angeles. The wildcat well reveals the Long Beach oilfield, which eventually will produce one billion barrels of oil.
June 23, 1947 - Federal Control of Continental Shelf
The U.S. Supreme Court rules that California cannot claim rights to the continental shelf beyond three miles.
California and other coastal states litigation resulted from President Harry S. Truman's September 28, 1945, Continental Shelf Proclamation, which noted that "aware of the long range world-wide need for new sources of petroleum and other minerals, (the federal government) holds the view that efforts to discover and make available new supplies of these resources should be encouraged."
The Supreme Court ruling affirms federal jurisdiction "with respect to the natural resources of the subsoil and seabed of the continental shelf." Similar court decisions affecting Louisiana and Texas are made on June 8, 1950.
June 24, 1893 - Early Petroleum Pipeline
The United States Pipeline Company delivers its first throughput of both crude and refined oil to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania - proving that petroleum products can be moved over long distances without damage.
June 24, 1937 - Trace of Oil found in Minnesota
Oil is discovered in Minnesota. The wildcat well (Fee No. 1) in Traverse County in the western part of the state produces just three barrels a day from 864 feet. The discovery prompts leasing - but no commercial quantities of oil are found.
This reaffirms State Geologist Newton H. Winchell's 1889 conclusion that the geologic conditions for significant deposits of oil and natural gas do not exist in Minnesota.
