And along with this its supporting industries. Now that the environmental impact is widely known and the oil reserves are decreasing we are struggling with the notion of replacing gasoline as the fueling agent for our automobiles. But to know the full impact one needs to take a look at what else a barrel of crude produces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is a list of items that most people, not in the industry, do not realize comes from the refinement of crude oil:&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Plastics&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Carbon black (coloring and reinforcement agent for tires)&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Road paving&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Curing agents (for concrete)&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Other elastomers (some used in clothing)&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Pesticides&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Perfumes&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Food preservatives&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Heat transfer fluids (antifreeze)&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Organic syntheses&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; LED&amp;rsquo;s&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Dyes&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Wood preservatives&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Waxes&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Heating oils&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Lubricants&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Water proofing&lt;br&gt;&amp;middot; Roofing materials&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a short list of byproducts, there are many others. You can see the impact on our society as a whole, if we abruptly stopped using crude oil, would be tremendous. Our dependence on gasoline runs deeper than just running our automobiles, planes, trains, trucks and buses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To see another side of the oil and gas industry from exploration to production you can check out Gulftex Operating Inc . and its Sister company TBX Resources, Inc. of Dallas TX &amp;ndash; see link below.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gulftex Operating &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.comhttp://www.gulftexoperatinginc.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.gulftexoperatinginc.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sister company TBX resources &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.comhttp://www.tbxresources.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.tbxresources.com&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Oil and Gas Direct Investing for today?</title><link>http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.com/page/Oil+and+Gas+Direct+Investing+for+today%3F</link><author>gulftexoperating</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.com/page/Oil+and+Gas+Direct+Investing+for+today%3F</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:07:15 CST</pubDate><description>During the current recessionary economy many investors have been looking for investments that make economic sense and are not suffering from low returns. Can an Oil and Gas direct investment fill the requirements? The fact that an Oil or Gas well has an expected life span of 50 years plus, has many tax advantages including Depreciation of most of the investment (costs of exploration and drilling) and other tax incentives is more than most investment choices. The returns can be 30% or better, of course nothing is guaranteed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;Will Gas and Oil demand lower, and the price (therefore investment return) follow demand? The prevailing opinion is that demand will go down in the U.S., but much of the rest of the world is just beginning a steep upward demand. And as far as the demand in the U.S. going down, it won&amp;rsquo;t be fast or that much for many years. Green technologies are just in their infancy, and will take time to sort out the winners. Natural Gas is one of these new fuels that burns cleaner and is already in use in public transportation and industry. So the demand for these wells will continue into the foreseeable future.&lt;br&gt;Qualified investors can directly invest in Oil and Gas production through independent Oil and Gas companies. Some of these companies handle the physical aspects, such as exploration, planning, well preparation, drilling, and well completion. An example of this type of company is Gulftex Operating Inc. in Dallas Texas, Tim Burroughs CEO.&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To educate yourself on the physical processes from exploration to production you can visit their site (see link below) to view their Layman&amp;rsquo;s Guide to Oil and Gas Production. A production company will have relationships with investment companies who handle this type of investment. &lt;br&gt;Gulftex Operating &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.comhttp://www.gulftexoperatinginc.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.gulftexoperatinginc.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sister company TBX resources &lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.comhttp://www.tbxresources.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.tbxresources.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Gulftex Operating in Barnett Shale  Home</title><link>http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.com/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home</link><author>gulftexoperating</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.com/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:48:28 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;WPC-edit-area&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;WPC-edit-field WPC-edit-rss WPC-edit-rss-total-3&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://gulftex-operating.wetpaint.comhttp://widget.wetpaintserv.us/widget/wetpaintrss/b12da41f0d3fcf67f8a1e18a3b66fad685cc6aea?wpo=&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today&lt;font face=&quot;linkReplace&quot;&gt; Gulftex Operating, Inc&lt;/font&gt;. has a successful exploration, drilling and production track record participating in over 35 wells in the Barnett Shale. The Gulftex record includes an impressive 19 wells in the core area of the Barnett Shale. Barnett Shale is an Oil Field covering 18 counties in Northern Texas around the Dallas - Fort Worth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Barnett Shale field has been quoted as producing an equivalent of 6% of our total domestic oil usage. This is a significant number of producing wells and brings in 100&amp;rsquo;s of million dollars and tens of thousands of jobs to the north Texas area. &lt;font face=&quot;linkReplace&quot;&gt;Gulftex Operating Inc.&lt;/font&gt; with its several partners is proud to contribute to this community. Location on top of a large oil repository is important in lowering the risk of digging a dry well. Location and experience in drilling (improving the changes of good outcomes) continue to provide a number of successful projects and happy investors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;14&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;260&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;WPC-edit-area&quot;&gt; 								 								&lt;object data=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulenewmemberspotlight/wetpaint-new-member-widget&quot; flashvars=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; id=&quot;WPC-seedMember&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;codebase&quot; value=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;classid&quot; value=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulenewmemberspotlight/wetpaint-new-member-widget&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt; 									 									 									 									 									 									 									 								&lt;br&gt; 								&lt;br&gt; 								&lt;object data=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulerecentsiteactivity/wetpaint-site-activity-widget&quot; flashvars=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; id=&quot;WPC-seedActivity&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;codebase&quot; value=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;classid&quot; value=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulerecentsiteactivity/wetpaint-site-activity-widget&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt; 									 									 									 									 									 									 								 								&lt;br&gt; 								&lt;br&gt; 								&lt;object data=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulenewgalleryphotos/wetpaint-new-photo-widget&quot; flashvars=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; id=&quot;WPC-seedPhoto&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;codebase&quot; value=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;classid&quot; value=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/gulftex-operating/page/Gulftex+Operating+in+Barnett+Shale++Home/widget/modulenewgalleryphotos/wetpaint-new-photo-widget&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;STATIC_HOST=static.wetpaint.com&amp;NAMESPACE=gulftex-operating&amp;USERNAME=gulftexoperating&amp;HOST=attached-wapi.wetpaint.com&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt; 									 									 									 									 									 									 								 								 							&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
