The IPRB was formed in 1998 to provide public awareness/education programs and to clean-up/restore abandoned oilfield sites throughout the state.

We've been seeing a lot of these types of posts over the past few days. So we put this together as an explainer.
Now keep in mind that we (US_OGA) are the small companies that produce oil and gas - not the big boys that are fully integrated and produce, transport and run refineries. We don't do that. We just pull it out of the ground and sell it to whoever will buy it.
But those other guys are bad at explaining things because they have comms teams that are scared of their own shadows so we have to do if for them sometimes.
That won't keep some of you from yelling at us. So be it.
But yelling at us is like yelling at a farmer for the price of a box of cereal.
But here you go. This might answer some of these questions.
Trying to understand this…
In 2008, oil climbed to about $143 a barrel and gas was roughly $4.10 per gallon.
Today, oil is closer to $94 a barrel, but gas is around $4.38 per gallon.
Crude oil has fallen significantly, but prices at the pump don’t seem to reflect that difference.
What factors are keeping gas prices high?

Data centers, electrification, clean tech manufacturing.
The coming surge in electric power demand is real, and ensuring we have adequate supply is going to require a reassessment of where the energy system is currently headed.

With all the talk about #gasstoves and alleged health threats, it's worth providing some background on where the research currently is on this issue, and how the feds suddenly decided these appliances are a health risk.

No state has spent more money, and forced more mandates, to “get off oil and gas” than California. For 20 years.
Oil and gas today supply 75% of California’s energy, versus the national average of 70%.
Please. Stop talking about the end of oil and gas.

"[T]he notion that a simple 'transition' to jobs that typically pay less — or don’t even exist at all — is as misguided as the belief we can quickly pivot to 100 percent renewable energy." - @sethwhitehead7

We are going to need a lot of oil for decades to come, and it’s better to produce as much of it here as possible rather than rely on other countries for the oil we need, Sun-Times reader Seth Whitehead writes. buff.ly/3rvEKDF

In 2020, the United States exported more crude oil and petroleum products than it imported on an annual basis for the first time in EIA's data series that dates back to 1949. go.usa.gov/xAykJ #STEO

Recently, our friend Seth Whitehead at the IPRB produced this informative video on the harmless components of fracking fluids. Fracking is indeed safe & reduces our drilling footprint. Thanks to KOGA member Jerry Robinson, of Franklin Well Services for his great explanation.
#DidYouKnow? Illinois Basin "fracking" fluid is at least 99% water and sand, with the remaining 1% composed of harmless additives, most prominently guar beans (used in ice cream) and borax (soap). Nothing scary or secret about it! Find out more here: youtu.be/Zj0Rq48ImjY

Not only are wind and solar energy not capable of replacing the thousands of products made from crude oil and natural gas liquids — they couldn't even exist without them.

Overlooking the burden it would place on American families, a @RockyMtnInst report suggests households in Illinois can use #cleanelectricity by replacing gas-fired heat pumps with electric ones. Read why this #energytransition is a bad idea: energyindepth.org/rocky-moun…
