distributed via various means. Along with all this‚ the visit also gave us an in depth picture on how an oil industry functions around all these areas. We learnt about the intrinsic details of drilling & refining of oil and also about how the life is in offshore drilling platforms like the “Jack-Up Rig”‚ through video films. Accompanied with our faculty Dr. Somya Sharma‚ Course Coordinator of MBA Energy Trading‚ the students were very excited to know the details of the oil industry which in this

One of the most recent oil spills to occur was when the spill followed a blowout that caused an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig‚ which then sank off the coast of Louisiana. Deepwater Horizon oil spill is a massive ongoing oil spill and oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico that started on April 20‚ 2010. The oil spill covers a surface area of at least 2‚500 square miles (6

created problems on the geopolitical front. Nuclear fission remains a controversial alternative‚ considering the risks involved in a catastrophic meltdown and the lack of a long-term waste storage solution. The successful development of horizontal drilling by the energy industry coupled with the existing technology of hydraulic fracturing has been presented as a means to solve both problems at once‚ providing access to 100 years’ worth of energy in the form of natural gas located within our own borders

The Fracking Controversy A controversial new method of extracting natural gas from the earth has become a danger for Americans. This method is called Hydraulic Fracturing‚ or Fracking. This drilling has made it possible to retrieve methane gas trapped in the shale rock that lays thousands of feet below the ground. For some‚ fracking can be seen as a good thing for our country. Fracking is boosting the nation’s economy‚ creating jobs and energy export opportunities‚ and strengthening the energy

BP dedicated a portion of its restoration website to highlight technological advancements it has implemented for safer oil drilling‚ in hope of restoring public trust in the company.

BP also failed to take responsibility‚ as well as proper action‚ during the aftermath of the rig explosion. In an interview with ABC‚ BP CEO Tony Hayward said: “Ah‚ this wasn’t our accident. This was a drilling rig operated by another company. It was their people‚ their systems‚ and their processes. We are responsible not for the accident but we are responsible for the oil‚ dealing with it and cleaning
