Download or read book The Ocean Ranger written by Susan Dodd and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-02T00:00:00Z with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 15, 1982, the oil rig Ocean Ranger sank off the coast of Newfoundland taking the entire crew of eighty-four men — including the author’s brother — down with it. It was the worst sea disaster in Canada since the Second World War, but the memory of this event gradually faded into a sad story about a bad storm — relegated to the “Extreme Weather” section of the CBC archives. Susan Dodd resurrects this disaster from the realm of “history” and maps the socio-political processes of its aftermath, when power, money and collective hopes for the future revised the story of corporate indifference and betrayal of public trust into a “lesson learned” by an heroic industry advancing technology in the face of a brutal environment. This book is a navigational resource for other disaster aftermaths, including that of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, and a call for vigilant government regulation of industry in all its forms.

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 236 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 Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit MODU Ocean Ranger O N 615641 Capsizing and Sinking in the Atlantic Ocean on 15 February 1982 with Multiple Loss of Life written by COAST GUARD WASHINGTON DC. and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At approximately 0052, 15 February 1982, the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) Ocean Ranger, during a severe storm, commenced transmitting distress calls which indicated that the crew was abandoning ship. At or about 0307, 15 February 1982, the OCEAN RANGER capsized and sank in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 166 miles east of St. John's, Newfoundland in about 260 feet of water. Inspite of the extensive rescue efforts of numerous vessels and aircraft, none of the 84 crew members survived. Contributing causes to the casualty include the severe storm; the lack of written casualty control procedures; the inadequate ballast system pump and piping design and arrangement for dewatering at excessive heel or trim angles; and the lack of a chain locker flooding alarm. Contributing causes to the loss of life include the adverse weather; the lack of exposure suits; the inadequate launching systems for the lifeboats; the ineffectiveness of the life rafts; and the apparent failure of rig personnel to allow sufficient lead time for evacuation. Twenty-two bodies were recovered between 15 February 1982 and 24 February 1982. This report contains the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation Report and the Action taken by the Commandant to determine the proximate cause of the casualty and provide a response to the recommendations to prevent recurrence. The Commandant has concurred with the Board that the proximate cause of the casualty is the failure of the ballast control room portlight(s). The Coast Guard is working on changes to various regulations concerning lifesaving equipment, emergency procedures and manning standards on board MODUs. (Author).
