THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVT'S ARE TO BLAME FOR TAXING THE HELL OUT OF THE OIL CO.'S AND THE ENVIRONMENTALIST WHACKO'S FOR REGULATING HOW OIL CAN BE DRILLED FOR AND REFINED. IF YOU READ UP ON THE REAL STORY ABOUT OIL YOU WOULD SEE THIS.

Water is pumped into a well to cool and lubricate the drill's cutting head while the well is being drilled. Water and brine are byproducts of the drilling process, since oil cann be located within underground pockets of water or below the water table. The water and brine are heated or super-heated and then injected back into the ground for disposal and to improve extraction of the oil from the rock. Oil in the rocks is displaced by the injected water, bringing more oil to the surface. This is known as injection drilling.\n\nInjection wells are also used to extract minerals deep underground. Water is pumped into the well and the slurry that rises to the top of the well contains dissolved minerals, which are then extracted.\n\nOil wells are unlikely to cause earthquakes. Large-scale extraction of water for human use has been known to create geological changes. This occurs when large amounts of water are removed, leaving empty underground cavities that may collapse. This may lead to subsidence of the ground in the vicinity of the well. However, water is not always stored in large pockets like underground caverns. It may be distributed through cracks in fractured rock or be held in some types of soil. these areas are relatively stable.\n\nHowever, with more and more water being drawn from deep wells in very dry regions, for use as drinking and washing water, for watering lawns, for industrial purposes, and for irrigation of crops in (unsuitably) dry regions, water tables are falling rapidly. This may not trigger earthquakes, but can lead to inadequate supplies, contamination of the water table with brine moving in from other underground areas, and the salinization of the land, rendering it less and less suitable for agriculture.

According to my research California is surprisingly the fourth largest oil producing state in the US. Seeps, naturally occuring tar pits, trapped animals and their predators looking for an easy meal, over thousands of years. The decomposing bodies of these animals creates oil.

I would think it's oil, but a more complete answer can be found on the Alberta Governement page http://www.gov.ab.ca/home/index.cfm

The National Assessment of United States Oil and Gas Resources prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides estimates of quantities of technically recoverable oil and natural gas that could be added to our already proved reserves in the onshore and State offshore areas of the United States.\n\nit is table format so you should go to this link to look \n\nhttp://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs024-98/table1.htm

There have been discoveries of oil near ANWR 1002 area in Alaska.  A study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1998 shows in the results that "The total quantity of technically recoverable oil within the entire assessment area is estimated to be between 5.7 and 16.0 Billion barrels, with a mean value of 10.4 billion barrels.  Technically recoverable oil within the4 AWNR 1002 area is estimated to be between 4.3 and 11.8 billion barrels, with a mean value of 7.7 billion barrels." (pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-0028-01/fs-0028-01.pdf)  Read this study to better inform yourself about oil in alaska.  I am not sure how long this amount would last, but I am going to investigate how much oil is produced in foreign markets and do an unscientific comparrison.  I'll let you know when I finally get it "figured" out.

Other guy is wrong.\n\nIt's Montgomery.\n\nIt's my state, I know the capitol.

Because there are a lot of oil wells in the area.
