This Week in History

January 21, 1865 - Civil War Veteran tests an Oil Well "Torpedo"
Civil War veteran Col. Edward A. L. Roberts (1829-1881) conducts his first experiment to increase oil production by using an explosive charge deep in the well
The "shooting" of the well increases daily production from a few barrels to more than 40 barrels.
Modern well fracturing - or "fracking" - will evolve from Col. Roberts' success.
January 23, 1895 - Standard Oil seals Fate of Oil Exchanges
Prior to the Titusville Oil Exchange's opening in the early 1870s, producers gathered in any convenient place, including streets known as "curbside exchanges."
The Standard Oil Company purchasing agency in Oil City, Pennsylvania, notifies independent producers it will only buy their oil at a price "as high as the markets of the world will justify" - and not "the price bid on the oil exchange for certificate oil."
January 24, 1895 - Pure Oil Company founded by Independent Producers
Pure Oil Company begins in 1895 when Pennsylvania oilmen unite to fight Standard Oil. In 1926 - six years after the Ohio Cities Gas Company has changed its name to Pure Oil - it moves into new headquarters at 35 East Wacker Drive in Chicago. An Ohio firm will adopt the old Pennsylvania name
With its headquarters in Pittsburgh, the company is organized to counter Standard Oil Company's dominance. It is the second vertically integrated oil company - after Standard - in the region, according to historian Neil McElwee.
January 26, 1931 - Third Well reveals Giant East Texas Oil Field
The wildcat well that will ultimately reveal the massive East Texas field strikes oil.
The East Texas oil field has produced more than five billion barrels of oil - and thanks to new technologies continues to produce. It remains the largest oil reservoir ever discovered in the lower-48 states.
January 29, 1850 - Canadian patents Gas Burner
Canadian Abraham Gessner is issued a patent for "obtaining of illuminating gas from compact and fluid bitumen (crude oil), asphaltum, chapapote, or mineral pitch as found in mines, quarries and springs in the earth."
Gessner licenses his "coal gas" distillation apparatus to manufacturers for about $1 per burner, declaring his gas "affords the cleanest, safest, and most agreeable light ever used."
The manufactured gas industry will survive into the mid-20th century.

"There's An App for That!"
Emergency Responders now have another resource for helping in emergencies-the mobile ERG. This app is a free safety tool designed to help with fast and easily accessible information. ERG stands for Emergency Response Guidebook. This is a product of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, part of the U. S. Department of Transportation.
According to Ray LaHood, the U.S. Transportation Secretary, "The first 30 minutes are the most crucial when it comes to responding to a hazmat situation. The new app is both mobile and flexible, and gives first responders the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their communities in an emergency. "
ERG's 2012 version now includes new evacuation tables for large toxic gas spills and standard response procedures for gas and liquid pipeline incidents. This makes it easier for police, firefighters, and other first responders to locate the information that they need to secure an area. The app includes an electronic word search function and can be easily read even at night.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service National Library of Medicine teamed up with PHMSA to create two free ERG mobile applications. PHMSA's website, www.phmsa.dot.gov, provides an instructional video to learn how to use the app. The app is available for both iPhone and Android cell phones. The Apple iTune website at ERG 2012 for iPhone and Google Play ERG 2012 for Android are set for the download of the app. Plus, ERG is also accessible in the National Library of Medicine's Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) application.
PHMSA Administrator Cynthia Quarterman observed that, "This invaluable tool improves the speed and accessibility to hazardous materials response information to those on the front line of accidents and incidents."
