Kerosene, also known as 28 second oil, is produced after the distillation process of crude oil. Most domestic systems run on kerosene because it provides a cleaner and more efficient burn for your home. Gas oil (red diesel), also known as 35 second oil, is more commonly used in agriculture and industry. Gas oil is less combustible than kerosene and has more carbon atoms.

If you have an outside tank you will require Kerosene. Kerosene is required so that during the cold winter your fuel lines will not freeze. If you have an inside tank you will use heating oil.

Individuals may contact the Division of Oil and Gas at (614) 265-6922 or the Division of Geological Survey at (614) 265-6576 to obtain information regarding any past or current drilling/production on or near their property or within their county. More detailed information would have to be obtained from professional consultants and individuals experienced in developing oil/gas resources in the private sector.

Contact the Division of Oil and Gas at (614) 265-6922 and request the RBDMS database. It requires a minimum of Windows 95, is driven by MS-ACCESS software and is available on CD-ROM for $15.00. It can be updated over the Internet.

NO! Adding ducts or pipe work will cause heat build up in the heater causing poor combustion and the motor to burn out. Adding ducts or pipes to the heater will void the warranty. There are no acceptable venting procedures that would allow a heater of this type to be used in an indoor, residential application.

Elsewhere on our Web site, you can check the list of publications for our county-based oil and gas reports, summary data and drilling statistics, counts of available well data, or counties at a glance. Or, contact our Oil and Gas Section geologists. Several public and academic libraries in West Virginia maintain some of our publications in their collections; check with your library for availability.

Permits to drill or plug wells are issued to entities registered with the Division of Oil and Gas upon verification that (1) the applicant's registration filings are current and the applicant is in good standing with the Division (no major outstanding violations to Ohio's oil and gas law); (2) the appropriate forms and fees are submitted; and (3) the application for permit meets all statutory requirements.

Township maps of oil and gas wells are available for purchase from the Division of Geological Survey. Cost per map is $4.00 and they may be ordered by calling (614) 265-6576.

K1 kerosene is a low-sulfur kerosene that is made for use in space heaters, lamps, etc. - and not for use in vehicles or generators. It is also not taxed so would be illegal to use in "on-road" vehicles. Lower lubricity is likely as the viscosity decreases. While this may not cause catastrophic instant damage, it could cause long-term wear of pumps, etc. Four semi-annual surveys for years 1990-1992 showed national averages as such for viscosity (represented in milliPascal-seconds (mPa .

The Survey has records for more than 11,300 wells drilled in Ritchie County. Other densely-drilled counties include Doddridge, Harrison, Kanawha, Lewis, Pleasants, and Roane.

The Division of Oil and Gas has no legal authority to become involved in landowner lease disputes. This a private matter between the landowner and the oil and gas well company and settlement must be reached between the parties involved or via legal counsel.. Yes. If the new owner is not registered (assigned an owner number) with the State of Ohio, the Form 7 cannot be accepted. Also, until the Form 7 is processed, the well(s) will continue to appear under the previous owner's list of wells.

NO! The kerosene, propane, or natural gas construction heaters may not be used for home heating, even temporarily. This heater is designed to operate on a construction site or similarly open environment. The heater can be used in semi-closed buildings if the proper amount of fresh air is provided per the instructions for ventilation air in the owner's manual.

The mixture should be 50:1 using a good quality petroleum-based oil such as that offered by Husqvarna. Never use synthetic oils in the fuel/oil mixture.

There are 385 named oil and gas fields in the State (as of April 2003), and wells have also been drilled in areas between fields or in areas in which fields have not yet been named. Contact our Oil and Gas Section geologists for more information.

Check our county-based oil and gas reports (see the list of publications), The Atlas of Major Appalachian Gas Plays (1996, Survey publication V-25), recent drilling activity tables, or contact our Oil and Gas Section geologists for more information.

For many years, West Virginia was the largest producer of natural gas east of the Mississippi River. In recent years, it has still produced significant amounts of natural gas in the Appalachian Basin. Reported production in 2001 was 191 Bcf (billion cubic feet) of natural gas and 1.607 million bbl (barrels) of oil. We have seen published illustrations of drilling and production activity in the Burning Springs area of Wirt County from the late 1850s.

Noncompetitive leases have a primary term of 10 years. Competitive leases issued prior to the Energy Policy Act of October 24, 1992, have a primary term of 5 years. Section 2509 of this act changed the primary term of subsequently issued competitive leases to 10 years.

The fees for filing a Noncompetitive offer are a $75 filing fee and the rental of $1.50 an acre (remember to round up your acreage). If you are filing an Assignment of Record Title, transfer of Operating Rights, or Overriding Royalty, there is a $25 filing fee for each lease you are filing on.

Facilities used in oil and gas production that are located on unplatted land or are located outside of the corporate limits of a city are exempt from the requirement to provide locates.

No. All DR? models have 4-cycle engines that have separate oil reservoires, so no mixing is necessary.
