Latest Drilling Ahead Poll Results Our newest Drilling Ahead Poll concerns Fire retardant or "FR Clothing" and safety hazards they present when working in hot weather.  It seems that even though OSHA only requires FR clothing to be worn during phases of the well where hydrocarbons might be present but employers that are requiring workers to wear the FR clothing throughout the well and rig moves.  With temperatures well over 100 degrees in many parts of the USA  some feel  FR clothing requirements are putting workers at risk of heat related illnesses.  So we asked our visitors what they thought-the current results are shown below. This poll is still running and you can cast your vote at www.drillingahead.com

A great deal of the crude oil that President Obama released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been purchased by "speculators"( the same folks he blames for the high oil prices today) who will resell it at a profit and quite a bit of it going to "vessels" which I assume means it's being exported. Tell me again how this is going to lower the price of oil to the American consumer? Have a look at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Draw Down-Successful Bids

Who bid on the 30 mm barrels?
Note the high concentration of financial bidders – JP Morgan has no refineries but bid on more barrels than either SUN or TSO.
Also notice the high number of barrels going to vessels for export!

JP Morgan is not in the "refining" business but seems to be in the campaign donation/lobby business as a look at the top donors to the Obama campaign shows below.

You may notice this list is also full of donors who received billions in taxpayer bailout funds. Here is some web info on JPMorgan

"JPMorgan Chase is one of the nation’s leading financial services firms, offering commercial and consumer banking and credit services, securities brokerage and financial consulting. Like the rest of the finance sector, the company hit hard financial times in 2008 and received billions of dollars in taxpayer money to re-gain its footing. Through its subsidiary Chase Bank, the company has traditionally been one of the top consumer credit card issuers in the country. As expected, the firm has lobbied heavily on legislation that would affect the nation’s financial industry, including bankruptcy reform and banking deregulation. In 2002, federal investigators launched a probe into the firm’s relationship with former energy giant Enron. Prior to the energy firm’s collapse, JPMorgan Chase had been one of the company’s largest financial backers. During the 2010 election cycle, JPMorgan Chase vowed to not run political advertisements despite the 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that allows corporations to make independent political expenditures."

( Also note Goldman Zacs on the list of largest campaign donors-you might recall when President Obama took office his entire agenda was "Cap & Trade" which Goldman stood to make billions from off of American taxpayers. Ever wonder why this President pushed "Cap & Trade" so hard while we were all losing our jobs and homes? Now you know.)

Surely our President would not be using this SPR release solely for the purpose of lining the pockets of campaign donors would he? well lets have a look at president Obama's track record as highlighted in an article released last month...

Barack Obama campaign donors 'rewarded with government jobs'

 Nearly 80 per cent of President Barack Obama's top campaign donors have been rewarded with senior United States government jobs, according to a new study.
By Sarah McHaney in Washington

The appointments have taken place despite Mr Obama's campaign promises that he would break with long-established practice and hire people based on their qualifications and experience rather than making patronage appointments.

In an executive order issued by Mr Obama as he took office, it was stated that appointees should sign forms saying that they were not hired because of political affiliations or contributions. Mr Obama required "that government hiring be based upon qualifications, competence and experience, not political connections".

But a Study for the Centre for Public Integrity has found that 27 out of the 36 people who "bundled" donations of more than $500,000 received jobs such as ambassadorships or economic advisory roles. About fifty per cent of bundlers who raised more than $200,000 got jobs. Louis Susman, a Chicago investment banker with no diplomatic background but who raised $300,000 for the Obama campaign, was appointed American ambassador to London in July 2009.

At the time Robert Gibbs, then White House press secretary, made light of the appointment by saying Susman was qualified for the post "because he speaks English".

Donald Gips, a Colorado businessman, was appointed ambassador to South Africa in mid- 2009 after raising $500,000 for Obama. Steven Westlym, a green energy entrepreneur also raised $500,000 for Obama and has since seen four companies within his business interest receive more than $500 million in loans, grants, or stimulus money from the Energy Department.

Julius Genachowski, a law school friend of Mr Obama, was appointed Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He raised $500,000 for the Obama campaign and he and his wife have visited the White House more than 100 times since the appointment according to White House logs.

Charles Rivkin, an entertainment company president, raised more than $500,000 for Obama's campaign, and became ambassador to France.

Cynthia Stroum, a wealth Seattle businesswoman and large campaigner for Obama who was appointed to be ambassador to Luxembourg resigned in February 2011 after a State Department report accused her of a "confrontational management style" that led to an "extremely difficult, unhappy, and uncertain work environment", allegations she denied.

It seems obvious to me that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve release was just the first pandering of taxpayer assets to Obama's wealthiest campaign donors signaling the start of the 2012 Presidential Fund raising season. Here we go again.....

Dropped Objects

A screw driver dropped from 14 meters is equivalent of being dropped from the 4th floor of a building. The velocity attained is 38mph / 61kph on impact. The screw driver achieves a mass impact weight of 73.5kgs at this point,resulting in a fatal injury even if struck on the head whilst wearing a hard hat.

 A claw hammer dropped from 6 meters is equivalent of being dropped from the 2nd floor of a building. The velocity attained is 24mph / 39kph on impact. The claw hammer achieves a mass impact weight of 117kgs at this point, resulting in a fatal injury even if struck on the head whilst wearing a hard hat.

 A sledge hammer dropped from 3 meters is equivalent of being dropped from the 1st floor of a building. The velocity attained is 17mph / 27kph on impact. The sledge hammer achieves a mass impact weight of 147kgs at this point, resulting in a fatal injury even if struck on the head whilst wearing a hard hat.

 A bolt dropped from 23 meters is equivalent of being dropped from the 6th floor of a building. The velocity attained is 50mph / 80kph on impact. The bolt achieves a mass impact weight of 49.5kgs at this point, resulting in a fatal injury even if struck on the head whilst wearing a hard hat.
