This Week in History |
February 5, 1873 - "Moonlighter" shoots his Last Illegal Well
Andrew J. Dalrymple is killed with his wife in a nitroglycerin explosion at his home on Dennis Run, Pennsylvania.
Dalrymple is alleged to have been "moonlighting" - illegal oil well shooting - in the Tidioute oil field. Nitroglycerine was a powerful but dangerous means of fracturing (fracking) oil bearing strata to increase production. The technology had been patented, its use rigorously protected.
February 8, 1836 - Natural Gas lights Philadelphia
Forty-six natural gas lights along Philadelphia's Second Street are lit for the first time by employees of the newly formed Gas Works - the first municipally owned natural gas distribution company.
Today there are more than 900 public natural gas systems; the Philadelphia Gas Works is the largest. There are more than 70 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the United States.
America's first commercial gas lighting company, the Gas Light Company of Baltimore, Maryland (now Baltimore Gas and Electric Company), incorporated in 1817.
February 10, 1910 - Discovery reveals Giant Field in Kern County, California
The Buena Vista oil field is discovered in Kern County, California, by Honolulu Oil Corporation.
The well is originally known as "Honolulu's great gasser" until it is drilled deeper into oil-producing sands. Oil production averages between 3,000 barrels and 4,000 barrels per day.
As the U.S. Navy converts its vessels from coal to oil, the Buena Vista field will become Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 2 in 1912.
February 10, 1917 - Geologists organize an Association of Professionals
Demand for oil is worldwide - but the science for finding it obscure - when the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) organizes as the Southwestern Association of Petroleum Geologists in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
About 90 geologists meet at Henry Kendall College, now Tulsa University, and form an association "to which only reputable and recognized petroleum geologists are admitted."
By 1953 the AAPG membership has grown to more than 10,000 and a permanent headquarters building opens in Tulsa. Today, the association is the world's largest professional geological society with more than 31,000 members in 116 countries.

Record Number of Enforcements 2012
In its second highest year, PHMSA issued 116 enforcement orders to pipeline operators in 2012. The problems were with integrity management programs, qualified personnel, corrosion control, and various other difficulties. In 2011, PHMSA issued 120.
The high numbers of enforcement orders are part of the push to insure that the nation's pipeline companies are continuing to make necessary improvement in the safety of their systems. A record of $8,748,200 in fines was levied in 2012.
"When President Obama signed the 2011 Pipeline Safety Act into law, it strengthened the Department's ability to help promote a safer, more reliable and capable American pipeline transportation network, "said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Through a combination of education, preparation, and enforcement, we can all help prevent pipeline accidents.
The Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 doubled the maximum civil penalty amount that PHMSA can issue for violations. For more information, visit:
