The bottom line is RAPID ACCESS TO VAST AMOUNTS OF INFORMATION. That
sounds a bit trite at first, but it is true. 
Sure, people will wate time on the new, if they are so inclined. If this
is not available to them, they will waste time playing games on their
PC, talking over at the water cooler or coffee pot, kicking their feet
up in a neighbor's office, talking on the phone to stock broker, etc. 
People who are not interested in working have an infinite things to be
distracted by. No sense penalizing everyone for the sins of the few. 
Once you learn how to find things on the net, it is an amazing source of
real, useful information (and getting better all the time).

AMAZING!  One thousand, really?  And you can locate every one of them?
And you need little old me to help you pay for a drilling rig?

I have been seeing different colors of free product on the groundwater in
monitoring wells.  For example, I have recently seen an orange color and a
red color.  Does this tell us anything about the free product, such as the
age of release?
Thanks!

I've had Internet access for about 18 months, and have found it to be
valuable, but not life-saving. It's another tool for seeking information,
as others have more eloquently stated.
We started out allowing only a few people in our office to have
access, but we recently made the decision to allow all employees full
Internet access. The wisdom of that decision has not yet been confirmed,
but I haven't heard of any significant problems.
I've found the following resources most useful in my day-to-day job:
*SEC filings via the Edgar database for competitor analysis
*EIA, BLS and other governmental reports for industry-wide research
*This newsgroup for networking, rumors, opinions, etc. (This is a
very underutilized forum, in my opinion...I'd like to see more people
taking advantage of it.)
*Myriad computer-related problem-solving resources (our IT department is
quite competent, but they can't be everywhere all the time, and self-
sufficiency in some areas is important; in smaller shops, I imagine it's
absolutely critical)
*e-mail (This is where we are still handicapped, in that our policy is
to maintain a firewall that prevents attachments to external e-mail. We're
working to get this changed; it seems a little, well, futile...since we
are able to download files from the Internet. Any damage that might be
done via importing of tainted files attached to e-mail could be many times
worse due to ill-advised downloads. On the other hand, the restriction on
e-mail does make it a little harder to improperly distribute proprietary
or confidential data.)
*day-to-day things like checking flight schedules, weather forecasts for
travel destinations, etc. These could be done via other channels, but
not as efficiently.
No one of these uses makes the Internet invaluable, but in sum, they
tend to make it into a quite helpful tool. And as more people get
connected, the potential for usefulness will increase (I know...just as
the potential for misuse will increase...that's a whole different
problem.)
Just my $0.02...

More power to them; but if it works, why do they have to sell 
stock to raise money?

Why bother with funding partners? Just "identify ... every oil 
formation in the ground" and drill them yourself.

Thank you for that opinion. I am in total agreement. However, since I 
"have a stake" in this newsgroup that might be considered biased. 
Regarding degree of utilization, I am sure that there are many others 
who agree and I would like to appeal to those who lurk in the woodwork 
to come out and make their presence felt.
There have been slight discussions about whether it is appropriate to 
have discussions about drilling and refining (amongst others) in this 
newsgroup. Unfortunately there was little response to the "gloves thrown 
into the ring".
Let us hope that more and more oil industry personnel, in all 
fields/disciplines will participate in the sci.geo.petroleum newsgroup 
thus making it _the_ meeting place and distribution point for knowledge 
and help.
