QUÉ SIGNIFICA WILDCATTER EN INGLÉS

Wildcatter

Wildcatter

Un wildcatter es un término americano para una persona que perfora pozos salvajes, que son pozos petrolíferos de exploración perforados en áreas que no se conocen como campos de petróleo. Glenn McCarthy, magnate petrolero del texano, destacó por su éxito. El término data de la primera industria petrolera en el oeste de Pensilvania. Por ejemplo, el Titusville Herald señaló en 1880: "El descubrimiento del líquido en el Estado de Nueva York fue la señal para un éxodo general de catadores de todas las partes del país petrolero ..." El origen de la industria petrolera proviene de Wildcat Hollow En el parque de estado de la cala del aceite situado cerca de Titusville, PA. Wildcat Hollow fue uno de los muchos campos productivos de la primera era petrolera. Según la tradición, un especulador que arriesgó su suerte al perforar en este valle estrecho disparó a un gato salvaje, lo hizo rellenar y lo puso encima de su torre de perforación. El gato montado dio su nombre al hueco. Debido a que el área fue ampliamente no probado y un poco lejos de Oil Creek Flats, el término Wildcatter fue acuñado, describiendo a una persona que se arriesgó a perforar en una zona no probada. Sin embargo, el gato montés era jerga americana para cualquier empresa de riesgo empresarial en 1838, mucho antes del aumento de la industria petrolera.

A wildcatter is an American term for a person who drills wildcat wells, which are exploration oil wells drilled in areas not known to be oil fields. A wildcatter notable for his success was Texan oil tycoon Glenn McCarthy. The term dates from the early oil industry in western Pennsylvania. For instance, the Titusville Herald noted in 1880: "The discovery of the fluid in New York State was the signal for a general exodus of wildcatters from all parts of the oil country..." The origin in the petroleum industry comes from Wildcat Hollow in Oil Creek State Park located near Titusville, PA. Wildcat Hollow was one of the many productive fields in the early oil era. According to tradition, a speculator who risked his luck by drilling in this narrow valley shot a wildcat, had it stuffed and set it atop his derrick. The mounted cat gave its name to the hollow. Because the area was largely untested and somewhat away from Oil Creek Flats, the term Wildcatter was coined, describing a person who risked drilling in an unproven area. However, wildcat was American slang for any risky business venture by 1838, long before the rise of the petroleum industry.
