I worked for a jackleg mining/milling operation with the same disregard as the refinery at your link.

Some folks are so greedy that refuse to maintain their equipment, becoming their downfall.

You, among, all people, should know if you have leased away your mineral rights. Have you? If so, you should be receiving lease checks (money) annually.

Thats a good lead in to a question asked back in the early 90’s during a cocktail party of Phillips engineers.

That question is, how much would the corporate raiders take over of smaller and middle size petroleum companies like Texaco, Gulf,Cities Service and others hurt Americas energy dependence?

I still maintain to this day that Congress should have stepped in and shut down the raids on these smaller companies thereby maintaining much needed competition.

Just the lowly opinion of a red state wannabe.

Not much oil-—natural gas is what we went after and got. I built a big greenhouse and heat that and I have two houses on my land and heat them both. I sell the rest to the gas co. and get a check in return. I’m in the process of putting in a rather large electric generator which is gas-powered, so I can have “free” electricity.
