What are some things that petroleum jelly is good for?

Furniture water ring markings:

Rub petroleum into damaged area with your fingers and let stand for a few hours or if possible

overnight. In the morning remove excess jelly with a paper towel and buff with a soft cloth.

Super Glue Cap:

Often after it’s first use, the super glue cap ends up stuck fast to the tube and can’t be used again. Put a thick coating of jelly inside the cap threads to keep it from gluing itself shut. This will work on any cap or lid that may stick.

To Shine Shoes:

A thin coating of jelly on shoes, boots and purses will keep them looking great and repel water and road salt. Wipe on a thin layer and wipe off excess with a soft cloth.

Squeaky Doors:

Quiet a squeaky door hinge with a coating of petroleum jelly on the hinge pin. Your door will be quiet and you don’t have to worry about messy drips.

Hair Coloring:

To keep hair color from staining your skin, apply Petroleum Jelly along hairline and ears before you begin.

Cuts and Sores:

When Petroleum Jelly first hit the market, it’s purpose was for protecting cuts and scrapes by acting as a barrier to keep out moisture and bacteria.

Moisturizer:

If you have sensitive skin Petroleum Jelly can be used as an all over body moisturizer. It contains no chemicals or perfumes.

Car Battery Posts:

Stop battery post corrosion by applying Petroleum Jelly on the terminals.

Outdoor Lights:

A thin coating of Petroleum Jelly on light bulb threads will prevent them from sticking when they need to be replaced.

Nail Polish:

Rub Petroleum Jelly on the skin around your nails before polishing. If you make a mistake it can be wiped off when your nails are dry and it softens cuticles at the same time.

Paint Cans:

Petroleum Jelly forms an air tight seal when applied around the inside edge of the can.

Frozen Locks:

To keep your locks from freezing, smear Petroleum Jelly on the shaft of the key and insert it into the lock. Work the key and lock 4 or 5 times to lubricate the tumblers. This is also a good remedy for keys and locks that just don’t seem to work smoothly together.

Sticky Drawers:

Apply petroleum Jelly along the runner on a sticky drawer to make it slide more freely.

Rough Feet:

If you are like so many people, your feet are hard, calloused and dry. Apply petroleum Jelly to your feet after bathing or showering. Apply within the first three minutes of bathing before the moisture on your skin evaporates. It will make your feet softer, and act as a moisture barrier to keep your feet from drying out.

Garbage Can Lids:

In the winter rubber garbage can lids can freeze to the can. A thin coat of Petroleum Jelly will keep it from sticking.

Chapped Lips:

Apply as needed.

Makeup Remover:

Use as you would any makeup remover. It removes makeup safely while softening your skin.

Diaper Rash:

Use in place of expensive ointments and creams to prevent rash.

Tight Finger Rings:

Apply to your finger and the ring will slide off.

Grandpa’s Bald Head:

Gives a glistening shine for those special occasions. Just apply and polish.

Nuts and Bolts:

Keep nuts, bolts and screws from rusting by coating with Petroleum before using.

Eyebrows:

If you don't have time to pluck, wax or thread eyebrows, you can just put some Petroleum on your eyebrows and smooth upwards for an arch or whatever you want.

How many days does shoe shines using petroleum jelly?

How many days does shoe shines using petroleum jelly?

It depends on how much you walk and where you walk. Petroleum jelly will make the shoes shiny, as will any oil, but the problem with petroleum jelly and oil is they do not dry like a wax will. By staying wet/sticky, the shoes are able to pick up a lot of dust. Not only that, but the dust is harder to wipe off a wet surface compared to a dry wax surface.

To try to make a comparison for you, say you put wax on one shoe and petroleum jelly on the other shoe and wore them together for 1 day. At the end of the day, there will be more dust sticking to the petroleum jelly than the waxed shoe.

Hope this is clear for you.

Day in the life of Petroleum Geologist?

Day in the life of Petroleum Geologist?

1. I got out of bed this morning, cleaned up, ate, drove to work, worked at my desk on the computer working on some data I can't talk to you about. Went to lunch at noon ate in the cafeteria with some friends ripped on BP for all the trouble they are (again) causing the oil industry. Went back to my desk resolved the issue I was working on in the morning and reported it to my project leader, got it approved and moved on to the next step in the process. I have to read up on a procedure and pulled down the latest version off my company's intranet. Went home got my mail, walked my dog. Got on the internet . . .

2. Salary depends on what your hired to do and by what company. On the low end of the salary scale is a job called a mud logger. Its a dirty job where you analyze cuttings from a oil well as it is drilled. It starts at $32,000 in some places and you won't make a career of it if have a college degree. From there there are jobs working in labs analyzing cores of rock brought up wells. Most of that work is done with microscopes and involves either paleontology, and/or rock mechanics (determining rock types, their porosity and permeability) There are a large variety of office jobs in fields such as petroleum exploration, petroleum development, (hydrocarbon) reservoir characterization, there are also a number of career paths in regulatory positions in state and federal government.

3. No, if you live in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Alaska, Louisiana, New Mexico, or Mississippi. Harder to find in Kansas, Utah, Arkansas, Michigan, California, and Kentucky. There is a sizable oil industry in each of these states. Cities with the most jobs: Houston, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Midland, Texas; Dallas, Texas; Bakersfield, California; El Paso, Texas; Liberal, Kansas; and a couple places you never heard of.

4. There are plenty of jobs that don't require high mobility. Companies usually handle your visas and you can move to another city if you decide to but I don't usually get flung around the world too much. try going to web sites of oil companies, and oil field services companies and check their career opportunities links (don't bother with BP though, they probably won't be hiring for some time).

I can't discuss compensation, sorry.
