Keep in mind that Solid Stain is different and falls into a category of it's own.Paint Type: Use water based paint, not oil. 

With that in mind, I probably would have included PEMEX and the temporary historical Iranian oil expropriation as well.

Live by oil and gas activity, die by oil and gas activity.

I am in central Virginia now and I would probably pass on investing here because of the oil heater situation.

You see the exact same thing for get rich quick schemes for the stock market, only there its even more absurd and it is often clearly and blatantly fraudulent.Snake oil salesman have been around for a long, long time. 

We are midway through switching the heating system from an oil furnace where I would be paying for the heat to a new propane system where the tenants will be paying for their own heat.

@Jessie Niu I have a post somewhere on the forums detailing the entire process, but basically it had to do with a decomissioned oil tank that the bank was unwilling to remove, so we asked them to give us $50k back at closing to assume the risk(We did soil sample tests and other tests), they settled with lowering the purchase price $50k.

Like you said, if oil is up, towns are booming, oil goes down, town dies. 

You could likely mirror the model in other markets that require transient workers such as traveling nurses or those working in the oil and construction fields. 

For natural gas  from propane and oil the reason is different,  the hookup is always driven by lower cost.
