selected that they have heard of Argan oil before and have used it in the past. The interviews revealed that the participants became aware of Argan oil mostly through the Internet (via Articles, Beauty Blogs) as well as recommendations from family members. It can be inferred that young adult Vietnamese consumers are fairly aware of Argan essential oil product. However, approximately 30% of young adult Vietnamese consumer population has yet to become aware of Argan oil. Although the participants…
personnel with potential. or 2 years’ certification. This way, we will be able to engage with the current offshore team offering to them this unique certification. • Introduction of a Stuck Pipe Reporting Template which will provide a consistent platform to analyse stuck pipe incidents thoroughly and • Highlighting effective measures for reducing associated NPT. It is highly recommended to implement a drilling database to capture all incidents. • Short and long term stuck pipe avoidance…
Brent Spar was first installed in Brent Field in June 1976 (Kirby 1998). This oil platform is designed as a huge floating production stage facility and owned by Shell and Esso for business purposes which including oil storage and tanker loading. After serving for 15 years, Shell decided to abandon the platform by dumping it into deep water sea with the approval of the UK Government (Kirby 1998). In 1995, Shell announced the granted dispose plan to the world. However, this has been strongly…
Analysis o What lead to the Deepwater Horizon Disaster? The popular oil company known as 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…
In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon incident, an oil spill, ripped through the Gulf of Mexico spilling 60,000 gallons of oil a day (Freudenberg and Gramling 13). It was referred to by President Obama in a speech as “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced.” As a resident of an island nation, I saw my country get more and more anxious. We were unsure of how the oil would impact our marine life and ultimately our economy as fishing is one of our main industries. The stress of this…
stop barrels oil that were gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, covering wildlife, and poisoning water in thick, unescapable oil. It took over 80 days to just stop the leak caused by an oil pipe explosion in 2010. Michael Klare, (2010) states the leak is “something that would not have occurred with proper corporate oversight” (p.1). Four years later, the government, organizations, and volunteers are still trying to clean up the millions of barrels that were dumped into the Gulf of Mexico. Oil is a…

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…
In January the Obama administration planned to allow offshore oil drilling in the Atlantic ocean. This plan included Virginia down to Georgia. Oil drilling has been banned in the Atlantic ocean for 30 years. If there were to be an oil drill built off the coast of the Atlantic, it could end up putting more marine life in danger than the oil drills in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, it would put many coral reefs in danger as well. There are many harmful effects caused by drilling. This includes…
The consumption of energy has some impact on its surroundings regardless of energy source. The most used of nonrenewables, oil is the most focused on. The energy requirements could meet the projected population and economy using fossil fuels alone, only, however, if emissions are not taken into account (Lewis & Nocera, 2006). With emissions in mind, a cleaner source would be…
