Oil spill

BP and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill (case analysis) BP is a multinational oil and gas company. This company is headquartered in London, UK. Not so long ago, this company has faced one of the world’s worst environmental tragedies. After its explosion in April 20th, 2010, the company’s situation had kept on getting worse and worse. The communication problem is that the crisis team that Tony Hayward (the CEO of BP) prepared to find solutions to the issue isn’t making much progress. Each month…

relation to the BP oil spill, Lance Duerfahrd notes how Burtynsky’s photography encourages viewers “to become art historians” by way of “abstraction” (Duerfahrd 126). “Bitumen” also asks this of its readers by situating Burtynsky’s photography within the tradition of the sublime, while it also compels scrutiny of the “anaesthetics” and abstraction at work in Burtynsky’s OIL. In the following passage, the poem describes “Burtynsky’s drone helicopters” and the photographs of the Alberta Oil Sands…

Description of the activity: The activity involves a small scale simulation of oil spill clean-up and containment protocol including the use of booms, skimming, and other techniques. The simulation will be performed by filling plastic cups with water, adding oil to the water to simulate an oil spill, and then participants will be given the freedom to experiment with the optimal method for removing the oil from the water or stopping it from "contaminating" other areas by using provided materials…

The table above lists the characteristics of each country during the time each of these oil spills took place. While understanding the characteristics of these countries during the oil spills was important, understanding how each of these characteristics affected the response differently, was the goal of this research project. The rest of this section is served to look at each of the how each of the four independent variable (Democracy, GDP, Institutional Gridlock, and Corruption) influenced the…

1. Identify an argument put forth in the case about the BP oil spill. Describe that argument 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…

Although often identified as the BP Oil Spill, the disaster occurred at the Macondo well and upon the Deepwater Horizon rig. The Deepwater Horizon which was classified as a semi-submersible drilling rig was leased by BP Oil at a cost of $533,000 per day from Transocean, and at the time of the incident was 45 days behind schedule (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan (2013). Records indicate that several weeks prior to the incident, an inadvertent dislocation of pipe in the blowout preventer occurred…

before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, unusual mortality rates of dolphins started to be recorded and researched; a fact BP uses to deny any causation of increased mortality due to the oil spill. They argue that other factors play roles in dolphin death, including exposure to fresh water, cooler climates, red tide, and diseases such as Morbillivirus and Brucella. Because of these other potential causes is it hard to say if the increase in deaths is from the oil spill, but one group of…

2010 the ab oil rig had a massive explosion and burned for two day without stopping. There was around 280 million gallons of oil leaked into the ocean. It killed lots of animals and left beaches really dirty witch killed lots of birds who landed on the beaches. This event took place in the gulf of mexico. It killed around 114,065 animals around 6000 sea turtles 25000 sea animals and 82000 birds. The oil rig took two days to sink into the ocean killing 11 people and spilling 12 tons of oil.…

When you think of Florida you think of beaches. So does everyone else. If oil companies are allowed to drill offshore there will be oil spills. Now think of a tar covered beach littered with death animals with a smell that you don’t ever want to think about. Off-shore Florida must be protected from oil companies to persevere the eco-tourism industry, defend the environment and secure fishing for years to come. In particular, tourism must be sustained. One of the many reasons people from all…

subdivisions: Exploration and Production, Refining and Marketing, Gas, Power, and Renewables (p.411). This paper will examine BP: Pipeline Maintenance and Refinery Safety case and investigate their ethical, negligence, and environmental issues related to an oil spill. Such as cost cutting, corporate culture, social responsibility, and the regulatory cycle. According to Jennings (2012) in 2005 BP had a fatal explosion at its refineries in Texas City, Texas and fifteen employees were killed and…
