What is a 'wildcat field' oil field?
372008
It is called a wildcat well not a field. It is a well that is drilled in an area where there are currently no oil wells.

It's not a standard, it's actual grade.  Brent is oil extracted from offshore deposits in North Sea (one of the first oilfields to be developed there was Brent, hence the name).

there are thousands of artesian well in the U.S. I dont believe there are any maps depicting only the artesian wells though. There would be recored of the artesian well drilled within the last 20 years or so though, because a plan must be filed detailing the drainage path the water that is in excess of what is used by the wells owner will follow. Many artesian wells are located near rivers and lakes.

What takes the place of the oil depends on the drilling methods used.  Since the 1950's, secondary recovery processes such as hydraulic fracturing or waterflooding have been used to force fluids -into- the underground reseroirs of oil, forcing the oil -out- of the ground.  Thus, the fluids take the place of the oil. These secondary extraction processes allow drillers to extract much more oil from a well than was previously possible.\n\nIt's possible that a connection exists between hydrocarbon extraction and earthquakes (called "induced seismicity"), but there is no scientific concensus or proven "cause and effect" correlation between anthropogenic activity and earthquakes.\n\nI hope you can sleep easier now :)

theres several oilfield companies that work in the gulf, i know a few major ones course there are more but theres Ensco Drilling, Hercule's Liftboats, Global Diving,Taylors International, Offshore Marine Contractors,Coastal Catering etc

edmonton is in alberta, where there is a lot of oil fields... so why not name the team after a local thing, right?

The perfect Geological combination of source material, good reservoir rock and a good seal material along with the right conditions for the organic material to mature and produce the oil.  Actually has nothing to do with current geography as all this happened millions of years ago when Saudi was seabed.\n\nThe supergiant Gehwar field initially contained (depending on what figures you read) 25% of all the oil on the planet. It alone accounts for the bulk of the worlds daily production of oil, so when it runs out which it will one day the impact will be felt around the world.

Natural resources\n\nThere is a substantial amount of petroleum and natural gas under the seabed: see North Sea oil.

I am guessing Texaco oil.

It refers to crude oil that comes from the Brent Oilfield, but I couldnt guess why the Oilfield is called Brent, a local connection I would guess

In the US there are universities that teach petroleum engineering. I'm sure a web search can give you more information. In addition to the usual engineering courses in physics, chemistry, math, thermodynamics, statics and dymanics, there will be courses in geology and other areas directly related to oil exploration and production.

In truth, most every major land mass has natural gas reserves, but has motivation to not use them. China, for example, just entered into a 3-year, multi billion (or maybe trillion, I forgot) dollar deal with Iran for Oil. China probably has oil, but given it's mountainous terrain, probably not worth it. \n And there is political motivation. As we move forward in the steps in a war with Iran, China effectively halted a great amount of advance by siding with Iran, espicially considering our rather large debt to the Bank of China. And as the Middle East is known as a "conflict zone", and being in the Middle East as I write this, I can agree, the long-term idea for many nations, esp. those in the U.N., is forcew the OPEC nations to sell away their prime export, leaving them succeptable to influence in later years.\n   America has a great deal of oil. Much more than Iraq in Texas alone. But we chose to leave wells covered, so as to ensure that the US will be able to function in the decades to come.\n   As far as dinosaurs.... couldn't say, but if you were to observe the geographic locations where there are several skeletons/fossils found, these lands are not known for being rich in oil\nhope that helps some.
