		OIL presents a layered approach to a standard ontology language.

	12/20/1999 - PSM coverage of oil and gas production and separation facilities.
		Oil well drilling and servicing is distinct from production and covers activities related to the initial drilling of a well and later, maintenance work necessary to maintain or enhance production.
		It was in anticipation of this standard becoming a final rule that OSHA included the oil and gas well drilling and servicing exception in the PSM standard, thereby reserving the far more comprehensive Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing standard as the primary means to address the "uniqueness" of that activity.
		As described above, the unique nature of the hazards in oil and gas well drilling and servicing were reemphasized during the PSM rulemaking when OSHA exempted oil and gas well drilling and servicing in anticipation of a standard covering these activities.

	Standard Chartered to buy oil and gas finance boutique Harrison Lovegrove - MarketWatch
		The purchase comes as large oil and gas international companies are increasingly reshuffling their portfolios as rising oil prices drive costs in mature oil regions or smaller refineries, presenting advisory opportunities for banks and boutiques specializing in the sector.
		The trend is a bounty for small boutiques such as Harrison Lovegrove that have carved a niche by leveraging technical skills to cater for small- to midsize oil and gas transactions - unlike large banks focusing on large, cross-industry deals.
		Standard Chartered said the acquisition is subject to certain regulatory consents, and expects to complete the purchase by late October.

		It is a matter of record that the oil workers in the service of the expropriated companies enjoyed wages and working conditions superior to those of the workmen of any other industry in Mexico.
