Natural Gas Pricing Outlook Supply and demand, technological breakthroughs, severe weather, prices, law & regulation, demographic changes, geopolitical conflicts and disputes are some of the multitude of variables that changes year on year affecting the economy of natural gas sector. Natural gas is more of a volatile economy, even more volatile than crude oil mainly affected by the seasonality and natural gas inventories. Weather conditions as storms and hurricanes can force the supply side…

Not Worth the Negative Environmental Effects Offshore oil drilling should not be carried on because it is too much of an environmental risk based on its’ harmful effect on marine ecosystems, climate, and coastal communities. First, offshore oil drilling should be stopped because it is a hazard to marine ecosystems. For example, “As of August 31, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon spill had killed 81 marine mammals, 5, 401 birds, and 553 sea turtles” (Mooney, 46). Oil spills kill thousands of birds…

means by which it is extracted right? The issue concerning offshore drilling and its limitations has become an ongoing debate, causing two major sides, with opposing opinions to form. The argument of whether offshore drilling should be more strictly regulated has raised the question, how strict is too strict? The U.S. should not support strict limitations on offshore drilling because, abundant limitation of the use of offshore drilling…

though it is not needed? That is the question that the United States needs to ask itself when it comes to deciding whether or not they should drill for Oil in the Arctic. The United States already produces the most oil in the world, so what makes drilling for oil in the Arctic necessary? It’s because the United States, a fossil fuel dependent country, wants more oil, even though it isn’t needed. The United States needs to face the realization that the Arctic is a horrible place to drill for oil.…

water contamination. (3) A couple hundred water wells near fracking rigs in Pennsylvania contained undrinkable water. The news of undrinkable water in Pennsylvania caused a panic in which people correlated undrinkable water with fracking. Unluckily, only part of the story reached the public. (4) “In one study of 200 private water wells in the fracking regions of Pennsylvania, water quality was the same before and soon after drilling in all wells except one. The only surprise from that study was…

process of retrieving the natural gas or oil. However, it is the process of improving the energy flow of the components before the extraction of oil or natural gas begin. In these terms, fracking will be counted as the whole process, before and after drilling. Fracking has many supporters and many foes. Although the U.S has been fracking for a while and has cut down oil prices, fracking does and has done a numerous amount of damage, ranging from infrastructure problems to pollution. Fracking in…

BP publicly prided itself on the company’s commitment to safety and the environment; however, shifts in leadership roles giving individuals more power caused the company to choose a less costly and more time friendly method of securing the rig for the drillings. This method ultimtely came at a huge cost to the environment as the largest marine oil spill to ever occur in U.S. waters. o One the of the immediate leadership issues outlined in the case is the lack of hierarchy. BP should have…

which helped wean the country from its reliance on foreign oil. He took action to mobilize agents across the country to sign up drilling leases on the most promising areas for shale development and swiftly built the largest acreage position in the U.S. bigstock-Drilling-Rig-In-The-Night-8164281_1.jpg He was not the first person to combine the techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to extract gas from previously unyielding shale rocks, but he was a chief leader in pushing…

of April 2010, Deepwater Horizon exploded, killing 11 workers and releasing oil from the oil well into the Gulf of Mexico. BP along with a few of its partners Transocean and Halliburton was involved in the gulf oil spill. The explosion of the drilling oil rig Deepwater Horizon was the root cause of the oil spill. This paper will focus on BP organization behavioral issues such as ethics, culture, and social behavior that caused the economic, environmental, and human losses. The research further…

to begin oil drilling in the refuge. The proposals usually fail because of the extreme opposition of the american people and the Gwich’in Athabascan Indians of Alaska and Canada. His use of “We” goes to show that he is trying to win us over and speak for us as a unified people, not individuals. He provides alternatives to conserving the oil we currently have which would provide us with more oil than drilling in the refuge would. Carter begins to speak about the percentages that drilling in the…
