Last week Agelio Networks attended the American Association of Mineral Owners Conference in Houston. We were amazed at the hard work the city had put into repairing its town post hurricane Ike and enjoyed the most friendly service from local Houstonians.

Bruce Vincent, president, secretary and director of Swift Energy Company, gave a concise and eye-opening presentation of the great myths that exist in the oil and gas industry. I thought I'd share these with you all.

Myth: We're running out of oil.

Myth: We don't need more drilling.

Myth: Granting more access for more drilling won't help our high gas prices today.

Myth: We can't afford to drill without hurting our environment.

Myth: New taxes on the industry will help.

We heard from several speakers from all areas of the industry, yet one singular message reflected each of their presentations --education, education, EDUCATION! At Agelio Networks, we coldn't agree more. Here's a link to help increase your knowledge of the oil and gas industry www.energytomorrow.org.
