Proper Power & Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:PPWE) was formed in 2006 as an exploration and production company for oil and gas. The organization is committed to utilizing a very dynamic system of research and testing, and as a result of this extensive research and testing, have selected several sites with very good to excellent potential for productivity.
Proper Power & Energy commented on a Wall Street Journal Article titled “Oil’s Rise Is a Sticky Situation for Recovery”. (Dated January 12, 2011 Section C). The article discussed the current environment of rising oil prices and its effect on consumers and the impending economic recovery. With oil prices at nearly $90 per barrel, consumers fear oil prices will return to their 2008 levels, when oil peaked over $145 per barrel. “A 2008 – style shock isn’t a certainty, but an upward trend is clear. Goldman Sachs expects oil prices to average $100 a barrel this year….,” the article is quoted as saying. Proper Power has begun production on its Kentucky oil asset, in addition to the 11,000 acres leased for its exploratory prospect in Utah. The Utah prospect has the potential for over 75 wells. Proper Power & Energy believes the Utah property holds very substantial recoverable reserves, indicated through seismic and radiometric analysis.

“The Company will benefit from these rising prices as it produces its Kentucky oil asset while creating the strategy for our exploration prospect in Utah,” stated President of American Resources, Andrew J. Kacic. American Resources is a wholly owned subsidiary of Proper Power.
Many farmers in Kentucky are trading in their tractors and overalls for oil derricks and wildcatting gear. With the price of oil reaching an all time high and the family farm becoming more and more obsolete, the attraction of getting rich by striking oil on the family’s back forty is becoming harder and harder to resist. And not without promise, with current geological readings estimating that nearly five billion barrels of oil reserves could be tucked away near Kentucky’s famed coal mines of old.
Utah ranked 11th in the United States in crude oil proved reserves and 8th in natural gas proved reserves (not including Federal Offshore areas) in 2008. Utah ranked 13th in the United States in crude oil production and 9th in gross natural gas production (not including Federal Offshore areas) during 2008. Utah contains four of the Nation’s 100 largest oil fields, two of its 100 largest natural gas fields (2008). Utah has approximately 3,200 producing oil wells and 5,700 producing natural gas wells.
“Having met with Mr. Dunbar, and through verifying the Company’s data with industry relationships, I believe Utah is a viable exploratory prospect,” stated Douglas Kiggins, Proper Power Advisor. “In further due diligence, the Anshultz Ranch field, located southwest from the Proper Power prospect, has produced One Billion B.O.E. (Barrels of Equivalent) to date, on the same geological structure as Proper Power’s.”
Oil is the lifeblood of America’s economy. Currently, it supplies more than 40% of our total energy demands and more than 99% of the fuel we use in our cars and trucks. It is a well known fact that the United States has been importing Oil since the 1970’s because the home oil production cannot meet the rising demand. According to 2009 yearly average, the U.S. Crude Oil consumption is around 21 million barrels a day and home production is only around 5 million. Advances in human technology has made the civilization completely Oil, Gas & Coal dependant, which are mainly used as fuel for diverse purposes. What makes Oil different is the immense variety of products that can be derived from it. A “brief” list of some of these products: Gasoline, Diesel, Fuel oil, Propane, Ethane, Kerosene, Liquid petroleum gas, Lubricants , other alkanes, Heating oil, asphalt, bitumen, Plastic, etc.
