ocean . An oil spill is a release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into environment due to human activity like boats above oil pipes or rigs and its a form of pollution. Other form of oil spillage is marine oil spillage ,where oil is release into the ocean or coastlines. Oil spills is a release of crude oil from tankers, pipelines offshore platforms,drilling rigs. Spills may take months or years to clean up and very expensive. Oil Spills are a form of pollution. The causes of oil spillage…

artist portrays two young women on the desertland outskirts of an industrial background. The women, clothed in the decade’s attire, stare off the painting towards an invisible distance. A curved road leads into the background, where a field of drilling rigs and commercial advertisement cover the landscape. One of the Bywaters’ fundamental techniques in establishing closeness among the women is his usage of composition. The two central figures, instead of presenting them as their own presences,…

faced a victory. But, in actuality, the fight isn’t over and they haven’t won. The Army Corps of Engineers has declined to grant the easement for Energy Transfer Partners' drilling under Lake Oahe. This isn't the same as its outright denial. Ultimately, they will perform a limited Environmental Impact Study before allowing the drilling. The study could take months. The Army Corps of Engineering has not solved this immense problem, but has filled a gaping wound with enough gauze to dissipate…

Wire Rope Wire Rope Definition and Types Wire rope is machine composed of individual wires that have been twisted to form strands and work together to achieve optimum results for the selected operation. Strands are then twisted, to form a wire rope. The parts of a wire rope illustrated in the figure below. The core is the foundation of the rope design. The main functionality of the core is to support the wire stands and maintain them in their position during the lifecycle of the product…

Intro: On April 20th of 2010, the BP oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people who were aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig were killed on that day due to the explosion (BP Oil Spill, 2015). Aside from the danger from the initial sinking of the oil rig, the oil that entered the environment after the explosion aroused suspicion of being dangerous as well. The issue that is present due to the leak is that the oil which was released into the ocean is harmful to the environment. The issue…

In Greider and Garkovich’s piece, “Landscapes: The Social Construction of Nature and the Environment”, they write, “Some cultural ecologists argue that nature and the environment are givens and that different cultural groups simply adapt to that environment” (Greider 4). The landscape, culture, and social expectations placed on an individual will present opportunities and limitations that will be the most defining factor in shaping their character. Colton H. Bryant was defined by Wyoming, much…

to develop Arctic resources in radical ways. In September 2013, a Greenpeace crew boarded a Russian oil rig. The Russians quickly detained the activists by force and held them in custody for almost three months while investigating them under piracy charges. The activists were eventually freed. This was not the first incident of its kind. Another group of Greenpeace activists boarded an oil rig off the west coast of Greenland, to protest oil exploration (Canadian Global Affairs Institute, 2014).…

discredits Howarth's findings a recent report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has supported his numbers as reasonable. At this point, it is impossible to confirm the true scale of this problem because the release of methane at drilling sites is "largely undocumented" (Stockton). The sad irony of this development, is that if the release of methane into the air surpasses the…

avoided in view of losing the strength of components due to interlayer fracture and delamination damage. In specific situations where metal inserts are inevitable in case of joining or affixing with other mating part, in this situation milling and drilling operations can’t be avoided with respect to aerospace and automobile structures. The scope and need of the paper is mainly focused on acquiring better machining quality surfaces with minimal damages are much needed to maintain the proper…

Q1. Is compliance enough? Legislations are made so that companies follow rules and policies in fear of harsh punishments of non-compliance. In the case of Deepwater Horizon, the chain of command consisted of a VP of drilling and operations who was barely 3 months into his job. Companies should follow legislations not for the sake of compliance but also to make sure that they create an environment of solidarity and an command chain that consists of experienced personnel who have the foresight to…
