Only three 1720 systems were ever built one for the Amoco oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana one for the Standard Oil of California Socal oil refinery in El Segundo, California and one for DuPont E.

The Yount Lee Oil Company , founded in 1914, was the successor to the Yount Rothwell Oil Company which had been formed earlier by Miles Franklin Yount and Talbot Frederick Rothwell . Yount headed up the new enterprise and counted among his partners Thomas Peter Lee , William Ellsworth Lee , Emerson Francis Woodward , Talbot Frederick Rothwell , John Henry Phelan , Beeman Ewell Strong , Frank E. Thomas , and Maximilian Theodore Schlicher . With a new fusion of capital provided by T. P. Lee, Yount was confident that the Spindletop oil field had not been tapped out, so he set about acquiring large tracts of land in the area. On November 14, 1925, his McFaddin No. 2 well struck oil at about 2,500 feet, sparking a second Spindletop oil boom. Yount went on to acquire mineral rights in several of the Gulf Coast s major fields, and he built the infrastructure necessary to ship his company s oil to destinations around the world from his headquarters in Beaumont, Texas . Before his death in 1933, Yount, his business partners and associates, had built the company into one of the largest and most successful independent oil operators in the country. Within two years, on July 31, 1935, the stockholders sold Yount Lee Oil Company for 46.2 million to Houston attorney, Wright Francis Morrow , who immediately began to parcel off the assets. Stanolind Oil, later a part of Amoco , bought most of the oil inventory and oil producing properties for over 41 million, which at the time represented one of the largest financial transactions in American business history.

Multiple issues lead too short June 2009 unreferenced June 2009 update June 2009 Energy in Botswana is a growing industry with tremendous potential. Most electric power is generated thermally in installations run by the Botswana Power Corporation , a public enterprise established in 1970. Electric generating capacity consists of the 132 MW Morupule Power Station Morupole coal fired plant . The 60 MW coal fired plant at Selebi Phikwe has been closed. Total capacity in 2002 stood at 132 MW. Production of electricity in that same year totaled 930 GWh. Fossil fuels were used exclusively. Consumption of electricity totaled 1.989 TWh. Coal production in 2002 consisted entirely of the bituminous type and totaled 992,000 tons. Coal is mined solely at Morupule Colliery by Debswana , mostly for the generation of electricity. The government is considering constructing a coal fired power plant at the same coal field, which would be designed to export power to South Africa . Several companies are prospecting for oil , but none had been discovered as of 2002. However, Amoco now BP has studied the possibility of coalbed methane extraction.
