In the Spotlight JL White
In 1860, Lawrence businessman and newspaper editor, George W. Brown, led a group of investors in a drilling venture along Wea Creek near Paola, Kansas, where surface oil seeps were known to occur. Their plan was to package the oil for lubricants for the wagons crossing the Great Plains. Their venture resulted in three dry holes. But it sparked an industry that has grown to become the second most important engine of the Kansas economy. The Kansas natural gas and oil industry directly employs nearly 30,000 people and supports another 38,000 jobs in the retail and marketing of oil produced products. It generates approximately $2.7 billion in family incomes around the state and contributes $930 million in state and local taxes each year. The news is full of stories about the promise of alternative energy replacing natural gas and oil in the 21st century. The potential for growth in alternative energy use is exciting. But natural gas and oil will remain the critical fuel sources needed to power our economy for decades to come and the Kansas natural gas and oil industry is proud to play its role in providing that fuel until the new fuels can be developed. The Kansas Oil and Gas Resources Fund was created in 2006 through voluntary contributions of natural gas and oil industry members. Its purpose is to educate the public on the importance of the Kansas natural gas and oil industry in their daily lives. It also promotes math and science education in Kansas schools to help prepare students for careers in the industry. The Kansas Oil and Gas Resources Fund is pleased to partner with KPTS to better inform Kansans of the important role we play in their everyday lives
