clearly and base your description on evidence from the case. One argument talked about in the case was the need for circulating mud and the use of a cement bond log. In order to prevent blowouts, you are supposed to circulate mud through the entire drilling rig to see if any gas is coming up with it, then once separated out, if present, you are to put all the mud back down through the well. It was advised by the American Petroleum Institute to circulate mud at least once. In this case BP…

parts of drilling around. The term itself is almost as bad for some as racial slanders. Countries have banned the process and even some states such as Colorado have placed embargos on the process until more research is available. Environmental groups storm capitals at the sound of the word demanding more regulations. What many don’t realize is that the oil business has been using the same process for 70 years without any wide spread accidents. Around the world today horizontal drilling and…

An Analysis of BP’s Difficulties, “Signature Processes” & Performance BP is the multinational holding company and one of the world’s major petroleum and petrochemical groups. BP’s primary activities include: exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas; refining, marketing and transportation; and manufacturing and sales of petrochemicals. In 1908, William D’Arcy and George Reynolds struck oil in Persia and established the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). In 1935 APOC was renamed…

In recent years, there has been an increasing concern about whether or not should factories keep using fracking as their main method to extract oil and gas from the underground. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing can be defined as the process of drilling down into the Earth and injecting high-pressurized water mixture into the ground, creating cracks in the deep-rock formations and allows oil and gas to flow out of the wells. According to The United States Geological Survey, wastewater disposal…

oil and natural gas from deep below the earth’s surface. The drilling and fracturing process produces large amounts of contaminated wastewater that is pressurized and forced back into the ground deep below the earth’s surface. Over the last several years there have been many debates over the dangers of “Fracking” and the economic impact. There are a lot of concerns from environmental groups and concerned citizens, not only with the drilling and fracturing process, but with the excessive amounts…

Because BP and Transocean was in an agreement, Transocean was not able to distance themselves from the liability and responsibility for the rig malfunction which cause an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Both parties are both responsible and liable for the clean and cost of damages to people and business. Transocean would be held liable because the provisions of the agreement between BP and…

The regularly acknowledged issues of oilfield drilling are clearly faced in Pinedale, and these issues have been handled nicely in both the Jonah field and the Pinedale anticline. In a personal interview with Pinedale’s local high school energy explorations teacher, Debra Noble, the effects of the oilfield…

In April of 2010, BP had a blowout in the Macondo well deep in the ocean. This disaster is said to be one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Although BP worked with the coast guard and tried to plug the hole multiple times, it took over 3 months to finally put a cap on the well stopping the oil spill, and almost 6 months to permanently seal the leaking well. It is estimated that a total of 4.4m barrels of oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico during the nearly three months…

This is where other countries can control the price by shipping large volumes around the world. The more oil we import signifies that there is a great demand in the United States. This is when you see the prices rise. With these higher prices, drilling companies can afford to drill more wells at a faster rate producing large volumes to meet the demand of America’s consumers but also the demand of other countries like Asia and South America. It can cost anywhere between 3 Million dollars to 25…
