Oil has been a vital part of everyday life for decades. It is our main source of fuel in automobiles and other machinery. Oil has its benefits, but people seem to ignore the process of acquiring oil. Oil drilling is a dangerous and risky process. It runs the risk of contaminating the surrounding water and harming the organisms that live in it. The process also emits large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, better known as the BP oil spill, was a prime…

planned to develop the Dodo - NAG Wells Project to meet the objectives of the company. Along with business objectives the idea of SPDC was to help locals by supplying domestic gas and bring the gas flares down (Flaring into atmosphere also known as emission of gases causing pollution and wastage of energy) as the field has potential to get developed due to discoveries of NAG reservoirs in recent times in vicinity of OML 35.

The Gulf Oil Spill of 2010 is often called the worst oil spill in US history. On April twentieth 2010 BP oil rig exploded killing eleven people and causing a leakage of about 3.19 million barrels to pour into the gulf. The twenty-two mile long plume not only rested on the surface of the water, but also adhered together and fell to the ocean floor. This largely and negatively affected marine life. The number of average number of dolphin deaths per year went from sixty-three to one hundred and…

The eastern part of the Plains consists out of taller grass and more rivers, and “a number of widely spaced, broad valleys of the east-flowing rivers. […] it is relatively well watered and wooded and contains tall grasses with deep roots” (Sutton 2008, 259). This could be a devastating project if there would be a small leak because the Native Peoples in the eastern region of the Plains use the water to live and survive. Not…

Depositional environment: The Depositional environment throughout the Cooper Basin formations is wholly non-marine, with the Patchawarra formation being a fluvial/deltaic depositional environment, with point-bar sandstones the most common reservoir type. Trap structures: Traps in the Cooper Basin are recognised as being structural e.g Anticlines, Stratigraphic e.g. facies change or a combination of these. Most traps in the Patchawarra formation are combination traps and lie somewhere between…

fracking can be traced back to 1865 with Lt. Col. Edward A. L. Roberts’ original patents. The process used to involve using dynamite and nitroglycerine. “Our business since Colonel Roberts’ day has concerned lowering high explosives charges into oil wells in the Appalachian area to blast fractures into the oil bearing sand,” says Tallini. (“Shooters”) Other options for oil ended up taking over due to fracking still being too costly. ("Is Fracking a Good Idea?") Todays hydraulic fracturing…
