A. Do you know, I answered a question on here only a few days ago from someone who said they wanted to know where to get an expert opinion on what they thought may be a van Gogh painting. I suggested contacting the VGM... Now, before anyone says so, I know it would take rather longer than a few days for the VGM to make an analysis and declare a new find...but its a nice thought, eh?

A rancher owns land on which oil is discovered. If he has not previously conveyed his mineral rights and such
Q. The rancher The oil company that drills the well The state government The federal government The tenant to whom the property has been leased woops! who owns the mineral rights is the question
Asked by girly GuRl - Tue Nov 13 18:53:16 2007 - Renting & Real Estate - 7 Answers - Comments

A. If the rancher owned the mineral rights before he sold the property and didn't retain those rights then the new owner has the mineral rights. If the rancher purchased the land and doesn't know if the mineral rights came with the purchase then he may not own them. They may belong to some previous owner. He would have to check the property records for the county where the land is located. Many deeds state who has the mineral rights or if they are being conveyed with the land.

Bought a used car, discovered it burns oil - what to do?
Q. Hi I just bought a used car (99 Accord) from a major dealer- Anyways, I just discovered that it burns oil ( it only does it at higher RPMS). Although the vehicle was purchases "as-is", without any warranty, do I still have a right to cancel the deal? How can I establis that they (the dealership) misrepresented the condition of the vehicle?
Asked by cwido25 - Wed Aug 8 18:00:44 2007 - Buying & Selling - 8 Answers - Comments

A. There is no 3 day right to rescind, so you can not cancel the contract and NO Lemon Laws apply to used cars that burn oil. The dealership did not misrepresent the vehicle and unfortunately, you have no case against the them. Next time, have the car checked before you purchase. I wish I had better news for you. Good Luck.

How is it that vast oil reserves are discovered in the Arctic?
Q. There must have been tropical rain forests teeming with life in those regions. Did the world flip on its axis? Was there no ice in the polar regions? Have scientists provided an answer?
Asked by - Sat May 1 21:10:06 2010 - Earth Sciences & Geology - 3 Answers - Comments

A. The world did not flip on its axis. That is a physical impossibility through our massive rotational momentum alone. However, the crust is broken into many plates that are in constant motion, jiggling this way and that, creating and destroying crust, coming together and moving apart, etc. Some billions of years back in geologic history, the arctic, which is the northern area of the North American and Eurasian continents, were at or near the equator, and further north into the tropical zones. All that you then need are an abundant source of microorganisms dying in one place, then being covered by sediment, then heated and pressed into oil and gas. After that, sometime back, the continents kept moving, and what we now call the "Arctic&quo [cont.]

A. Many people may be surprised to learn that one of Southern California's chief exports over the last 100 years, besides motion pictures, has been oil. Like oil reservoirs in Texas, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania, a hint of what lay beneath the surface could be seen in the many above ground oil seeps. These seeps had been known by Native Americans for thousands of years. In 1543, Spanish explorer Juan Cabrillo noticed the native people using the naturally occurring tar, or "pitch", to waterproof their canoes. These seeps were also responsible for the tar pits of La Brea (Spanish for "pitch"), which had, over many thousands of years, trapped unsuspecting animals and their predators looking for an easy meal. In 1865, only 6… [cont.]

Q. After you fry meat and you want to get rid of the remaining oil, it is suggested to wrap/place it on paper. But I discovered that it is more comfortable to wash the meat thouroughly with tap water. It is tasty. What do you think?

A. Even though it may appear that you are "rinsing away" the oil and fat, you actually are not - and you may actually be rinsing away some of the flavor. Remember, oil and water don't mix, so when you put water on something that has oil on it, the oil will stick. That is why we use something like Palmolive or Dawn to clean dishes. Those detergents remove oil. You don't want to be cleaning your food with detergent. Wrapping the food in paper does in fact remove some of the oil, but not the majority. It will also remove some of the flavor, as water does. A better method is to not cook with much oil to begin with. If absolutely necessary to use a lot of oil, cook with olive oil. It is lower in saturated fat and higher in unsaturated… [cont.]

Asked by Fly boy - Sun Jan 13 10:09:33 2008 - Earth Sciences & Geology - 1 Answers - Comments

A. I think I already answered this question 3-4 times. The problem of oil reserves is quite touchy as it is mainly an economical concept. An accumulation of oil which is non economical and not accounted in the reserves when the oil is at 12$ might become very profitable and change status when the oil is at 95$ per barrels. In addition reserves are probabilistic. There can be proven (with a probability of more than 90%), possible (probability of 50%) or probable (probability of 10%). The total world possible (P50) reserves are around 1.32 trillions barrels of oil. Then the following numbers are projection and are more or less equivalent to the probable reserves (P10). - Conventionnal oil resources : Original Oil In Place : 8 trillions bbls… [cont.]

A. I'm not a liberal by any means. Peak oil is a real crisis we should be worried about. That does NOT mean we should stop drilling. It means we should drill, drill, drill as we actively develop & change out country's infrastructure to accommodate alternative energy sources. Conservation alone is NOT an answer to this crisis. "Historically, U.S. oil production peaked around 1970 at close to 10 million barrels per day and has been generally declining ever since, to about 5 million barrels per day in 2005.
