[b]$OREO[/b] Western American Production
Ever since the first commercial oil well was drilled in California in 1865, America
has looked to the production of abundant energy solutions from its western region.
Today, hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil are produced in the area every day
through the combined efforts of major western industry players such as Chevron
(NYSE:CVX | Market Cap: $210.30B), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY
| $84.16B) and Aera Energy – jointly owned by ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM |
$397.32B) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A | $229.56B).
And in the neighboring state of Nevada, production and exploration continues with
the goal of furthering the nation’s great tradition of western US energy production.
