Offshore drilling is defined as” The operation of oil wells on the continental shelf, sometimes in water hundreds of feet deep” according to dictionary.com. This method of drilling is a very common form, being used throughout different locations offshore everywhere in the world, the first being in 1897 according to howstuffworks.com. The locations of oil are found by two main methods. The first one is by finding magnetic occurrences that are in natural in the ground. If readings found a steady amount of magnetism over a general area then suddenly a large decline, they could have found the location of an oil deposit. But to ensure that is in fact a trap, the second method called sparking. “sparking is sending shock waves down through the water and into the ocean floor.” This allows ships above to be able to read the ground below and see at different locations where

Did you know that oil companies are demolishing North Dakota’s environment by dumping drilling waste onto the land and in waterways? First, oil companies are taking truckloads full of drilling waste at a time and just dumping it to the side of the road illegally! This is mainly happening in the western corner of North Dakota but will most likely affect all of North Dakota. Eventually, this will affect all of North Dakota, by the drilling waste killing the animals or plants that other animals need to eat to survive. Then, oil companies also go and dump the drilling waste into the waterways. So, pretty soon all the western corner of North Dakota won’t have freshwater lakes and rivers. They have been doing this since 2014, so who knows what

The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of the petroleum industry on Odessa, Texas during the 20th century. The main objective of this research is to explain how the massive growth of the petroleum industry in Odessa came about and the social changes that had occurred as a result of the thriving oil industry. Beginning in North Texas, the boom then spread to West Texas when the United States became desperate for oil during and after World War I and II. This research drew upon primary and secondary sources such as oral interviews, memoirs, articles and books from the local University library. Upon examination of these sources it becomes clear that the discovery of oil in Odessa, Texas became the foundation for the towns economic

There has to be a million reasons running through everyone’s minds as to why Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota have the lowest unemployment rates in the United States. There are different aspects to why the economy goes up and down in the job field. Utah, Vermont, Minnesota, Idaho, Iowa, and New Hampshire are a little bit higher in unemployment rates than all the others listed. There is a reason that North Dakota’s unemployment rate is so low. But there has recently been a slight increase and that’s because the oil patch drilling has slowed immensely. Texas has also been hit really hard with the oil problem. But for some odd reason instead of the unemployment rate increasing it decreased. They believe the reason is because the oil production

Independent Marketers - The Independent marketers, comprises largely indigenous petroleum marketing companies. The FGN introduced the Independent Marketing Scheme in 1978 because of petroleum products shortage of the 1970s and the lack of sufficient investment by major marketing companies in the rural areas. This led to the establishment of the Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in 1982. Membership is open to every independent marketer duly licensed and authorised to operate by the NNPC or other appropriate organisation in charge of this function. The trade group of these companies is referred to as the independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN). Examples of Independent marketers are Zenon Petroleum, Capital Oil & Gas and Ascon Oil & Gas.

In this case, I represented Shale Oil. It was my job to persuade the town’s people of Ethictopia to use Shale Oil to be the power source for their community. I presented oil in the best light possible. I did point out the pros and cons through the maximalism perspective, by providing the best information possible. I had a difficult time trying to talk people in to using an energy source, which I personally feel needs to be pulled off the shelf. However, I did point out a few facts about oil that shows that there is some wiggle room for the greater good. The main point that I tried to stress, is the fact that oil is a cheap and an easily accessible resource. The major downfall of oils is that it causes

Almost every Canadian residing within this province could visibly see the relationship between our economy and the energy industry, specifically the oil sands. The growth of this province is mainly correlated with the development that we have seen with the Alberta oil sand operations. As the oil prices rise during the bull cycle, the province becomes prosperous, providing jobs, opportunities, and funding for a variety of social programs. However, as the oil prices tumble during the bust cycle, we start to see how intertwined our economy really is with the energy industry. The oil sands is an economic driver that not only provides direct jobs for many, but in addition provides many indirect jobs as well. Revenue from the sale of oil has assisted in the development and continued funding for many infrastructure projects and social programs not only for the province of Alberta, but for the rest of the Canadian provinces as well. Simply stated, we are largely dependent on the oil sands to drive our local economy.

Well first off there are four spheres that are affected, or can be affected by Oil Rigging. That is the Hydrosphere and Biosphere.

On March 2008, BP submitted a request to The Mineral Management Service requesting to drill exploratory wells in the Mississippi Canyon Block 252 located in the Gulf of Mexico. By the following March, BP set forth plans to begin drilling the Macondo well, and was approved by the MMS on April 6, 2009. BP then leased a semisubmersible rig, named the Marianas, from Transocean and began drilling the well in earlier October of 2009. However, on November 9, 2009 the Marianas rig was damaged by Hurricane Ida and unfortunately had to be removed for repairs. Therefore, Marianas was replaced with the Deepwater Horizon rig in February 2010, to continue drilling exploratory wells.

In the industry of producing oil for the world’s energy sources, safety should always remain the top priority in the creation of oil rigs and producing oil. There are multiple steps in building these massive devices and each of the steps have to be handled with the greatest of care. These steps are assembling and maintenance. Assembling is the part where the workers put together the structure of the rig and ensure that it is set up correctly. “Maintenance is where the drilling equipment failure is monitored and operational so that they do not fail when producing oil” [1]. Well control is where employees monitor the drilling fluid pressure and blowout preventions. It can be difficult for workers to complete their tasks if a hazard or danger occurs.

As anything there is always a decision having to be made, but in the petroleum industry, decision-making can be very convoluted. Reason being is because in the past couple of years a considerable amount of approaches to fix things have arisen. Said by Review, “The difference between a good decision and a bad one can be the difference between success and disaster, profit and loss, or even life and death.” Before making any critical choices always be sure to have a strategic plan that will follow though to the best end result. As some observations have shown, is that the choice of oil and gas relates to prices as well as cash flow in this industry. A key factor for companies is strategically making wise choices on what oil, gas and companies to make investments in.

close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering, a similar specialty, in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child, I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping units, standing as if like a miniature forest, worked, indulging myself in all kinds of fantasies and reflections about the mysterious reservoir underground with great curiosity. I imagined that someday I would be able to unveil its mysteries.

Saudi Arabian oil company is multinational company today is called Saudi Aramco. It is the largest oil corporation in the world with the largest proven crude oil reserves. The company is located in Eastern reign of Saudi Arabia. Exploration, production, refining, distribution, shipping and marketing are operates by the company. Saudi Aramco published in 1933 when the government of Saudi Arabia allowed for American company called Casco to drill about oil in Eastern reign of Saudi Arabia. In 1980 the Saudi Arabian government acquired full control of Saudi Aramco. The company has reported that oil reserves of about 260 billion barrels it has acquired. Also, it owns 263 trillion cu. ft. of natural

The right to use, free of charge, such quantities of crude oil/natural gas/associated hydrocarbons produced from the relevant field as are reasonably required for conducting the operations of the production of oil and gas in accordance with generally accepted practices in the international petroleum industry.

Oil and Gas sector is one of the most important sectors and the backbone of all the economic activities across the world. All other sectors are dependent on the growth and activities in this sector. If there is any disruption in this sector, it can cause severe economic crises across the world economy. In this report, I have tried to discuss the four major challenges that are faced to this sector, provide a summary of these issues and then link their impact on the economy of projects. I have also discussed the effect of these factors of the economy, society and recovery of projects. At the end, I will give possible ways to mitigate the potential negative effects. I will also relate this topic to the economy across the world. The country’s economy depends upon the petroleum and gas industry. If there is any change in the petroleum industry, a significant change can be seen in the country’s economy.
