This isn’t quite on on point for this web site, but it’s pretty interesting anyways.  I am a bit of an oil and gas geek.  The technology and the industry are fascinating.  It’s one of the reasons I choose to do oil and gas law.  I don’t work for the industry.  I work exclusively for mineral and surface owners.  But I still find the industry as a whole to be awesome in the real sense of the word.

This is an older video, produced in 2013, but the dimensions of a VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) haven’t changed.  Watching it will give you an idea of the scale of the industry.

Then this very short video shows the VLCC activity for August 2011.  It demonstrates that we use a lot of oil.  The amount is mind boggling.
