What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am always striving to increase my knowldge in my chosen field. As new information and techniques are developed, my main concern is to pass that information on to my customers and constituents. Knowldge and its application is the ultimate achievement.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Despite what you may think from various TV commercials and other sources. The Dinosaurs had very little to do with the formation of crude oil. It derives from extremely ancient microscopic marine life buried under sea bottoms so old it boggles the mind. Pressure, time and heat results in the product that seems to drive todays world.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject The most cost effective method of Hydrogen manufacture for the vehicles of the future, is extraction from crude oil. Not Seawater. So I guess we keep drilling!
