“I wish to have
no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in
harm's way” -- John Paul Jones (American Naval
Hero in the U.S. War of Independence, 1747-1792)
Connections are important. You never
know where they will lead you. For
example, through my connection with a
LinkedIn group, I found RefinerLink. I
liked what I saw, and I joined this social network for refiners and
refining. Through my connection with RefinerLink, I found the following conference …

Hart Study: Refining Unconventional Oil
“It is clear our
nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of
our imports come from overseas.” -- George W. Bush (American 43rd US
President. b.1946)
Hart notified me of a new report several weeks ago, so you may already know about it, but if not, take a look. Here is what Hart has to say about the report on their Web …
///////
The Must-Read Unconventional Study Of 2012 Everyone Is Talking About: “Refining Unconventional Oil”
Why does everyone talk about the “Refining Unconventional Oil” study?
It foresees major industry trends
It navigates unprecedented market shifts with projections and analysis
It analyses the entire energy industry: upstream, midstream and downstream
It translates industry movements into business know-how
It defines what most of us cannot explain: the impact of unconventional oil production
Just to mention some study highlights:
Hart Energy found the nascent crude-by-rail industry is quickly establishing itself to offer producers coast-to-coast deliverability options
Crude-by-rail terminals exist in each of the five U.S. petroleum regions (PADDS)
Hart Energy expects more than 4.5 million barrels per day of crude-by-rail loading and offloading terminal capacity will be in service by 2016
Either augmenting or serving in lieu of fixed pipeline takeaway infrastructure, crude-by-rail terminals are being developed in each major U.S. oil-rich play
U.S. Crude-by-Rail Transloading Terminal Capacity
This latest report, Refining Unconventional Oil, uncovers future opportunities and developments in North America’s revitalized oil and gas industry.

Partly Cloudy: Cloud Storage Tip
“Behind every cloud is another cloud.” -- Judy
Garland
Like many other people, I use Google® Gmail to store my documents. And, like many other people, I sometimes find it difficult to find a particular document when I need it.
It is this problem … the problem of finding your stuff … that prompts today’s time saver tip.
TIME SAVER TIP: Include key words in the subject line of the email you use to upload your document. Be generous with your key words. You never know how your brain is going to remember a particular document six months later. In extreme cases, you may want to include additional key words in the text of the email.
So if, for example, you had run across the following three patents and wanted to keep them handy for future reference, you could simply paste the abstract of each patent into the text of your email.
