James Van Blaricum about drilling

Once a well has been drilled, and the presence of commercially viable quantities of petroleum has been verified, the next step is actually lifting the natural gas or oil out of the ground and processing it for transportation. James Van Blaricum

Natural gas, as it exists underground, is not exactly the same as the natural gas that comes through the pipelines to our homes and businesses. Natural gas, as we use it, is almost entirely methane. Natural gas as we find it underground, however, can come associated with a variety of other compounds and gases, as well as oil and water, which must be removed. Natural gas transported through pipelines must meet purity specifications to be allowed in, so most natural gas processing occurs near the well. James Van Blaricum

James Van Blaricum’s operations were centered in the San Antonio area.  With the buyout and changing business interests, James Van Blaricum moved to Las Vegas in 1992.  In 1996, Van Blaricum moved back to Texas, but this time in the Dallas area and opened Epic Oil and Gas with a partner in the winter of 1996/1997.  In 2000, he began the process of selling his interest over to his partner and created Signal Oil and Gas, which continues to operate today.
