Welcome to EID
In the time it will take you to read this message, America’s small and independent oil and natural gas producers will have utilized advanced technologies and innovative engineering to safely produce enough energy to heat your home for 589 years, fuel your car for 159 years and, before the day is out, create 136 new jobs along the way.
Plenty of sites have been created to celebrate these accomplishments; others, to malign them. Energy In Depth was created to explain them — to tell the real story of the people responsible for producing energy in America. Brought to you by thousands of small, independent, American energy producers, Energy In Depth separates fact from fiction by giving visitors a virtual, first-hand look at the production process: unvarnished, up close, and yes: in depth.
In the 150 years since Edwin Drake used a 32-foot iron pipe to develop America’s first commercial oil well, those who produce America’ s energy have relied on cutting-edge science and technology to fuel our economy and improve our standards of living. As our country’s energy needs have grown, so too has our commitment to meeting them, and meeting them safely.
