Download or read book Macondo Well Deepwater Horizon Blowout written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blowout of the Macondo well on April 20, 2010, led to enormous consequences for the individuals involved in the drilling operations, and for their families. Eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig lost their lives and 16 others were seriously injured. There were also enormous consequences for the companies involved in the drilling operations, to the Gulf of Mexico environment, and to the economy of the region and beyond. The flow continued for nearly 3 months before the well could be completely killed, during which time, nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout examines the causes of the blowout and provides a series of recommendations, for both the oil and gas industry and government regulators, intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of any future losses of well control during offshore drilling. According to this report, companies involved in offshore drilling should take a "system safety" approach to anticipating and managing possible dangers at every level of operation-from ensuring the integrity of wells to designing blowout preventers that function under all foreseeable conditions-in order to reduce the risk of another accident as catastrophic as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. In addition, an enhanced regulatory approach should combine strong industry safety goals with mandatory oversight at critical points during drilling operations. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout discusses ultimate responsibility and accountability for well integrity and safety of offshore equipment, formal system safety education and training of personnel engaged in offshore drilling, and guidelines that should be established so that well designs incorporate protection against the various credible risks associated with the drilling and abandonment process. This book will be of interest to professionals in the oil and gas industry, government decision makers, environmental advocacy groups, and others who seek an understanding of the processes involved in order to ensure safety in undertakings of this nature.

Download or read book An Inconvenient Life written by Amanda Barlow and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the unconventional career of Geologist Amanda Barlow as she details the path she followed to get to where she is today - a Wellsite Geologist working in the offshore oil and gas industry. Through resource industry busts and booms and a career hiatus taken to raise three children, Amanda's resilience and resourcefulness has seen her transition from a hard rock Geologist working on base metal drilling programs to a Wellsite Geologist in the coal seam gas industry and then in offshore oil and gas drilling programs. Her industry experience has spanned over 30 years after starting her first job as a Geologist in the goldfields of central Victoria in 1983 in the pre-computer days when all drilling data results were hand written and cross-sections hand drawn and there were no such things as HR departments or HS&E officers. Through working with some of the biggest resource companies in the world Amanda has been indoctrinated into some of the most stringent safety cultures in the industry and through her story you'll see how some of the largest companies in the industry have evolved into the socially accountable businesses they are today. Once the domain of all-male workforces, the offshore drilling industry now employs a minor amount of females, although it's still common to be the only female on the rig with up to 180 males at times. The offshore workforce is made up of specialists from all around the world who have to work in harmony despite language, culture and gender differences. Amanda describes what it's like to work in this environment and the challenges facing people who constantly travel long distances to work in remote areas of the world, having to spend weeks away from family and friends. While there is no doubt about the financial benefits, there are many sacrifices to be made by people who choose to live the "fly in-fly out" lifestyle. This 56-year-old mother of three adult children has not only survived a life of working in the industry but has thrived on the excitement and challenges facing a contract Geologist in this demanding field. Working 12+ hours a day for seven days a week, weeks at a time in a confined and dangerous area and with strict rules that have to be adhered to or you'll find yourself on the next chopper home, definitely isn't for everyone. But you'll soon realize Amanda Barlow definitely isn't one to conform to "normal" stereotypes!
Download or read book Fracking 101 written by Eric George and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing to give its proper name, has become part of our lives recently, due to the massive exploitation of America’s shale oil and gas fields. Along the way it has stirred up controversy, with passionate opponents fighting against the oil companies. The fight has generated a lot of heat, but not much understanding. This guide, written by some-one who knows what he is talking about takes a detached, neutral view of the subject. Without pushing a view for or against, it provides the factual background you need to form an opinion of your own. An Informed and Neutral Introduction Like most people I have heard of fracking, but did I really understand what it was? To answer honestly, no. I knew it had something to do with mining and was perhaps destructive to the land. To me, it was just one of those words of the moment. This guide has given me a real sense and understanding of what fracking is. It allowed me, someone who has no experience in this field, to learn about the pros and cons of fracking, without having the good and bad of it forced down my throat. If you want an informed and neutral introduction into fracking, then this is the guide for you. ~ Debbie Prewer
