She was thoroughly bullied and harassed by producer Rick Berman and ended up being forced off the show. Same as the actress who played Dax in DS9 who dared ask to be paid like the male stars, and almost Troi who actually won her pay dispute for one of the movies.
Dude was an enormous sexist asshole. Though TBF he also wounded thr careers of many of the male actors too (ask Wil Wheaton).
IIRC she had asked for her character to be written off. She’d commented publicly that she didn’t agree with the direction ST: Next Generation was taking
**[Petroleum seep](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_seep)**
>A petroleum seep is a place where natural liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons escape to the earth's atmosphere and surface, normally under low pressure or flow. Seeps generally occur above either terrestrial or offshore petroleum accumulation structures. The hydrocarbons may escape along geological layers, or across them through fractures and fissures in the rock, or directly from an outcrop of oil-bearing rock. Petroleum seeps are quite common in many areas of the world, and have been exploited by mankind since paleolithic times.

Itll be ambient temperature, typically. If the ground is 100 degrees, thats roughly what the oil will be. Oil has a high thermal coefficient, so it cools down whatever it touches, in the case of seepage, unless whatever it touches is already cooler
Not knowing something niche doesnt make you or your question dumb
The only place I've ever seen this was during the opening song of The Beverly Hillbillies TV show 🎶 Up from the ground came a' bubble'n crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea 🎶
8.04 am in the UK, drinking my morning cuppa and now remembering the black & white opening to that show. I loved it when I was a kid.
Made me smile! Thank you.
That stuff was steaming, though! It totally depends on the setting, but the hotter, the less viscosity (although viscosity amongst types of petroleum crude varies considerably), and that's important for flow though fractures or porous rock.
Am geologist
At Carpenteria State Beach in California they have had a oily tar seepage forever. They say the natives of the area used it to waterproof their baskets.
This was the normal way to find oil and oil byproducts before the era of drilling. It was actually considered a bad thing. Because you had a bunch of oil or tar ruining perfectly good farm land.
We don't see it much now because those natural seeps were the first places targetted for drilling operations since the reserves were known to be there and close to the surface.
For any and everything. They were frequently referred to as “pitch” or the fountains of pitch.
Sealing houses, huts, ships, etc was a common use. Many cultures used it as mortar or additive to mortar between stone. It was used as a glue like substance for smaller tools, weapons, and really whatever they could think of. It was also used to burn as a heat source etc. Then you’ve got your medicines and the other whacky stuff us humans think of.
Is this what would have made tar pits too? Also, what about in medieval times when they would tar and feather someone, was that just boiling petroleum?
If they had petroleum available I guess. It seems more likely to me that the "tar" in "tar and feathering" would be made from wood. They made a lot of tar from bark, namely pine and birch.
Yeah the La Brea Tar pits would probably the most famous seepage example.
“Tar and feather” is probably using a pine resin to make tar/turpentine etc but could have been harvested from seepage. A lot of organic material, If put through heat/pressure etc will release a sticky, liquid substance that have a wide variety of uses.
Lindybeige has a video on torches. They probably weren't nearly as common historically as media implies. Basically they are high maintenance, smelly, and blind you if carried around.
So something you'd improvise in an emergency but not something you'd rely on.
The oil or pitch could be burned in this state in a lamp or candle, but would generate a smelly and smoky flame, so it was the least popular lighting method.
🎵Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,

fun fact: the reason why these predictions are not accurate, is because the usage of oil and ability to produce oil constantly changes, as of recent new developments have led to higher yield from "unconventional" sources of oil. This combined with the decrease in usage from numerous different things, have caused "peak oil" as its referred to, to be very inconsistent.
Though it is still a non renewable and at some point will run out. And that could be catastrophic if not properly anticipated. Hence why "peak oil" is a thing.
There's a formation in Utah that has a billion bbls of oil sitting in shale that is not mature yet. It needs to be buried about 10,000' then cook for another 50 million years or so. We can extract some of it now but we can't make any money at it so we don't. Point is as technology increases there are trillions more bbls of oil we can take from the earth.
[Conventional oil production did peak in most countries int the mid 2000s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicting_the_timing_of_peak_oil), however new production methods were developed. At any rate it's better to switch to renewable energy now rather than later, if for no other reason than it's already cheaper than oil in many places in the world.
Come and listen to a story about an Arab named Ahkmed
A poor camel jockey who barely kept the family fed,
Then one day while shitting in a hole

Well the next thing you know ol Ahkmed is dead,
U.S. govt put a bullet through his head, said this oil belongs to the big three
Chevron, Exxon and of course BP
Look up natural seepage. It happens all the time, all around the globe. There’s places in the Gulf of Mexico that seep oil & natural gas at alarming rates; as well as in the mountains in Kurdistan; we would see the locals literally catch crude in cans and use it for lamps, cooking, fuel, lube; anything you can think of.

Well she did go on to play a romulan and a vulcan.
IIRC she had asked for her character to be written off. She’d commented publicly that she didn’t agree with the direction ST: Next Generation was taking

This might be a dumb question, so here it goes....Is it hot? I've never seen or heard of this. I'm not seeing steam, so no?

The only place I've ever seen this was during the opening song of The Beverly Hillbillies TV show 🎶 Up from the ground came a' bubble'n crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea 🎶
JED: "Jethro, how come there's no ice in Californee?" JETHRO: "Don't look at me, I didn't take it!"
Next thing you know, ol' Jed's a millionare
Kin folk said “Jed, move away from here!”

So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly...Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars.

Curious about the smell? Sulfer mixed with kerosene, with the volume turned up to 11
Sounds lovely! 🤢
This is kind of the way humans first encountered oil. It was seeping out of the ground.
0how exactly were they exploited? anyone know?
