Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petroleum in Canada The discoveries on Black and Bear Creeks, in Lambton County, from which the ourishing indus tries Of Petrolia and Oil Springs have grown, were due to the excitement which attended the Pennsylvania discoveries, and set geologists and prospectors scouring the whole Lake Erie region for similar finds. The Province of Ontario has an area equal to that Of Germany and France combined. Southern, or Old Ontario, is the Oil and natural gas region of the Province, nine-tenths of whose population is concentrated within this territory, covering an area greater than England.

Download or read book Oil and Gas in Western Canada written by James a Lougheed and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil and Gas in Western Canada: Compiled Under the Direction of the Superintendent Natural Resources Intelligence Branch Western Canada has assumed during recent years a position of primary importance in the eyes of the great oil producers of America and Europe as a possible field for future production on a large scale. Resources associated in this connection include crude petroleum, natural gas, coal and bituminous sands, all of which are known to exist, in greater or lesser quantities, throughout this territory. Recent discoveries indicate that the greatest oil fields of the world may be found in Canada's far northlands. Geologists and practical oil men have agreed that the indications of crude oil in commercial quantities are of sufficient importance to warrant an extensive program of systematic prospecting and developing. Such work is already well under way; preliminary results are believed to be very encouraging and increased activity in this connection is assured. It is not improbable that Western Canada will shortly take a rank with the greatest oil producing countries of the world. Natural gas has been discovered at innumerable points throughout this immense area. Some of the more productive fields have been commercially exploited while others are awaiting a market that the development of the surrounding country will create. Examples of these opposite conditions are to be seen, for instance, at Medicine Hat, in southern Alberta, and at Pelican rapids, on Athabaska river, in the northern part of the same province. At the former place the utilization of great gas fields has resulted in the development of an industrial centre of great commercial importance to the development of the West. The reverse condition is seen at the latter location where a gas well that had been drilled many years ago by a Government geological exploratory party and from which enormous quantities of gas continued for years to escape, has recently been capped to await the day when the advance of settlement will give it commercial value. Coal is found in widely distributed areas and almost inexhaustible quantities. Southwestern Manitoba and southern Saskatachewan contain great deposits of lignite. Alberta has most extensive fields of lignite, high-grade bituminous and semi-anthracite. British Columbia has various fields of this valuable and necessary fuel, the most renowned being those located on Vancouver island. Even in the far Mackenzie district there still burns a coal seam, the fires of which were observed by Alexander Mackenzie on his voyage of discovery in 1789 down the great river that bears his name. It has been estimated that the province of Alberta alone contains about 15 per cent of the world's supply of coal. The Geological Survey of Canada have made extensive examinations of the coal areas of Western Canada and have published several reports in this connection. Mining has assumed considerable proportions, though in the case of the Prairie Provinces, it is restricted to a local trade as yet. An extensive deposit of bituminous sand, commonly referred to as tar sand, outcrops at various places in Alberta in the vicinity of McMurray, on the Athabaska river. S. C. Ells, of the Canadian Department of Mines, who has spent several years on the investigation of this resource, reports the examination of some 250 exposures within a radius of 60 miles of McMurray and which represent one continuous deposit. His reports claim these deposits to represent the largest known occurrence of solid asphaltic material. As yet it is totally undeveloped.

Its development has been attended by all the excitement incident to mining camps and the usual camp followers. In every branch, production, transportation and manufacture, it has presented the great hazards that test brave hearts and mould strong characters. It has created a race of men capable of meeting any emergency and ready for any achievement. Inevitably the story of such an industry is romance. The term here does not denote fiction for the truth of petroleum and natural gas is more exciting than imaginary scenes. The aim in these pages has been to preserve the truth and tot tell the tale without the intrusion of the dry detail of a statistical or technical work. There has been no attempt to pain the lily or to gild refined gold. There is so much rich material in the origin and growth of the petroleum industry that it is wholly unnecessary to draw on the imagination for color. This is not a history, because it omits minutiae inseparable from a continuous record. It is just the romance of petroleum and natural gas, and some account of the human factors who have made the history of the business. It trails no other book, nor does it bar the way of any that may follow. It takes its own path into a fascinating field of romance in human endeavor, namely, the supplying of light to a waiting world: the preparation of the way for aerial navigation and the conquests of distance by private carriages. The ordinary walks of this mining with the drill lead into wonderland. In the ages there has been nothing like it. Aladdin's lamp was no more marvellous than the kerosene torch, nor did it bring to its owner more of wealth and luxury. Human progress and popular education have been thrust forward by the discovery of this resource of nature and the world owes a debt of gratitude to the men who have made its development possible. No other industry in the history of the world grew up so fast, and now... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Download or read book Petroleum written by Boverton Redwood and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petroleum: Its Production and Use The following pages have been reprinted from the Journal of the Society of Arts, London, with the omissions of such portions as would seem to be of little or no interest to American readers. The petroleum industry occupies a wide field in this country, and the amount of capital invested in it is very great, and while, therefore, all that was stated by Mr. Redwood in his lectures was admirable, and doubtless of much interest to his English hearers, very much, on the other hand, would prove to be of no material value to the American reader. We feel on the whole, however, that the subject matter of these lectures, with the exceptions stated, are worth preservation, and believe that all that is here given will be found to be of interest to readers here. It has been deemed better to change the matter from the lecture form in which it appeared in the columns of the Journal of the Society of Arts.
