DISTRIBUTION LISTS ------------------ A distribution list is simply an e-mail reflector. Any e-mail sent to the 'To send mail to' address is reflected back out to all the people on the distribution list. The distribution list itself is maintained by a computer program called LISTSERV. You can put your name on a distribution list and take it off again by sending an e-mail message to the LISTSERV at the 'Subscribe' address. You can always get going by sending an e-mail with containing just the word 'help' to the LISTSERV address. Please DO NOT send an e-mail to the whole group asking to join or leave the distribution list.

ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY MAILING LIST ------------------------------------ This excellent mailing list operates out of the U.K. and provides a high-quality discussion forum for all matters related to organic geochemistry. To become a member of this mailing list, simply send an e-mail message to 'mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk', subject line empty, with the following text in the main message: join org-geochemPlease be aware that you are communicating with a computer, not a human being, therefore no extra text should be included. Within a few minutes, you should then receive automatic instructions regarding other commands. To leave this mailing list, substitute 'leave' for 'join' in the above command line. Current traffic is about one message per 48 hours (on average). Over 200 of the world's foremost experts in the field of organic geochemistry belong to this mailing list. GEONET ------ The Kansas Geological Society and Library provides an on-line system that can be used to communicate with other callers, search the KGS inventory of data, access any of several on-line (Kansas) petroleum databases, and send and retrieve digital files. The KGS databases include: KGS Library Header/Inventory Database > 150,000 wells > search by location, API number, operator, county > displays elevation, spud date, completion date, status, TD > lists available logs or geologic materials > comments on quality, source type, scale and date of material Activity Database > view activity of any operator in Kansas in the last 2 years > search by location Plugged Well Database > Over 180,000 wells > updated monthly Kansas Production Database > Kansas monthly and historical production records > search by operator, location, county, hydrocarbon amount, lease Underground Storage Tanks Database > 25,000 underground tanks in 1431 cities, 5394 facility owners > details number of tanks at the site, contact person, other data Survey Sample Database > listing of well samples for over 126,000 wells > details 'header' information, TD, depth samples available Water Well Database > search by location , county and owner > lists location, TD, perforated interval, casing depth and type, static water level, known contamination, well use, yield of well Subscribers pay for access only, plus per record charges if applicable. There are no charges for connect time. The maximum annual fee for access to the on-line database is $90 (U.S.) for non-members, and $300 (U.S.) for on-line access to the "Add-On Database" (the Kansas Snooper Production Database) in the same category.

Have you ever wondered about why there so much oil in Texas, but not in Wisconsin? What are the deepest canyons in the United States? (The answer might surprise you!) While the answers to many of these questions might be as close as an encyclopedia, some questions are difficult to answer without checking many sources. The USGS now offers a new, experimental Internet service - Ask-A-Geologist. All electronic mail to Ask-A-Geologist will be routed to the geologist of the day. The geologist will reply to your question within a day or two, or provide referrals to better sources of information. All questions and answers will be part of the public record. After collecting questions and answers for a few months, we will make a Frequently Asked Questions list (with answers) available via anonymous FTP and World-Wide-Web. We encourage grade school and high school students with electronic mail access to send in questions -- but we can't write your reports for you! In limited testing, we've had an enthusiastic response from many grade school students. If you have any questions about this service, but not about geology, please contact the system administrator - Rex Sanders at rex@octopus.wr.usgs.gov. For geology questions: send email to: ask-a-geologist@octopus.wr.usgs.gov THE ENERGY EXCHANGE, INC. ------------------------- The Energy Exchange, Inc. in The Woodlands Texas is pleased to annouce the grand opening of their new WWW pages at: http://houston.infohwy.com/cyberia/energy/enex/xchange.htm This new WWW service will allow people on the Internet to view petroleum projects for sale and will also allow people who are selling their petroleum projects to post their project to the Energy Exchange. Take a look at our new home page, and don't miss out on a window of opportunity in the petroleum industry.
