A Research On The Tapi Gas Pipeline

ISIS being defeated is a sufficient condition for Pakistan’s winning the war on terror only if Afghanistan’s securing its borders is a necessary condition for the UN’s stopping the opium trade.

Since July of 2016, there has been an extensive amount of tension between protesters and law enforcement over an oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The Dakota access pipeline is a 3.7 billion investment project that would carry 470,000 barrels of oil a day from the oil fields of western North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. The Dakota access pipeline is a stirring issue and is causing thousands protesters to camp out in rural North Dakota to protest for what they believe. The Dakota access pipeline is to be built by Texas energy transfer partners to move a massive amount of crude oil a day. This pipeline is 1,172 miles long, thirty inches in diameter. It will connect the expanding Bakken and Three Folks Production areas in North Dakota to Illinois. The pipeline will allow domestically produced oil from North Dakota to reach larger markets in a more direct, safer, and cost-effective manner. The issue with the pipeline is it would have to cross under the

Pipeline is the best alternative and safest mode of transporting fuel compared to freight trains or tanker tracks. However, there are those who argue that it is not safe because of lack of adequate resources to inspect them, as well as the absence of regulations regarding the use of a pipeline to transport fuel. Equally important, another issue is the great hazard to human life and environment that can be difficult to control or eliminate in case of a spill.

One of the big issues is farmers in Iowa are concerned about the damage to the land and groundwater if the pipeline had a leak and went into the ground or water. This pipeline is 1170 miles long and it could carry 500,000 barrels of oil a day. The big problem is it has to go through the river and if the pipeline leaked any oil it could contaminate that river and people drinking water. According to the USA, The Bakken oil company sends some of their oil by rail if they build this pipeline they can move corn quicker on rail and not have problems, But if they move corn quicker the price of grain will go down and it will hurt the farmer. Another problem is the farmer put tile in the ground to drain water off their land the company putting in the pipeline does not care about the farmers tile The pipeline would cost 3.8 billion dollars. This concludes that the environment and farm are affected by this big time.

The Keystone XL Pipeline is an oil pipeline system that runs in parts of Canada and the United States. The pipeline runs from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Illinois and Texas with a distribution center in Cushing, Oklahoma. The pipeline has provided several jobs throughout the two countries. Many people have concerns about spills, emission, and the amount of oil left. This paper explains the location of the pipeline, the problems and concerns that surround it, and the positive outcomes it has created.

The approximate 1,172 mile, 30-inch diameter, would connect Bakken and Three Forks production areas in North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. The pipeline would allow oil to be moved in a “More profitable and environmentally safer manner.” Yet, any leak would cause immediate and irreplaceable

Having a six degrees celsius climate plan is not a safe plan at all. The pipeline will also create thousands of temporary jobs but an estimated no more than fifty permanent jobs. This will hurt not help the economy because once the pipeline is done then all of the workers that they hired will be left jobless and unable to make a living. If this pipeline discontinues then over four million trees could be saved, along with many of endangered animals especially birds which migrate there every year to breed. It would be devastating to leave species endangered or extinct just for a pipeline that will be mostly be importing its oil

In his speech before the Bloomberg Energy Conference in New York on April, last year, former Canadian Minister on Natural Resources Joe Oliver outlined the significance of the Keystone XL oil pipeline in meeting the growing demands of the United States for an environmentally safe and secure energy source and distribution. He argued that North America’s continued growth as a global superpower depends on how it can meet its energy demands without depending so much on offshore sources such as the Middle East which are mostly in conflict and are therefore unstable. Oliver seems to present a compelling argument in favor of Canada’s energy projects especially when he cites independent third party reports made by the International Energy Agency

“’An old Sioux prophecy says that a black snake will come to destroy the world at a moment of great uncertainty,’ he said. ‘Unless the youth stop it’” (Enzinna 35). The Standing Rock Sioux tribe believe the “black snake” has arrived in the form of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a pipeline that originates in North Dakota and stretches across four states. The pipeline is roughly 1,000 miles long and would carry up to 600,000 barrels of domestically produced oil each day. This pipeline would run above the surface, but at certain points would run under lakes and rivers. In the beginning of the year 2016, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a rough draft of its proposed plan to begin construction of the Dakota Access

From the pipelines that I looked at the most economically and politically viable would be the keystone pipeline. This is because the United States of America and Canada are very close to each other, which creates less distance for the pipe to travel through, nor does it need to be built to withstand an underwater tunnel, such as the Poseidon Pipeline and the Nabucco pipeline. This means that the pipeline costs less to build, as less piping must be built, and it does not need any special materials: With a decrease in the cost, it means that there is more profit in the energy pathways. Furthermore, all three energy pathways that I researched showed that the pathway only went through countries with have positive geopolitical relationships.

Imagine living in a third world country with overcrowded houses and no job. That is how, “about 22% of our country’s 5.2 million Native Americans live” (A Program of Partnership With Native Americans). Right now Native American people take up about 2% of all land in North America, most of it being around the area of North and South Dakota. Over the past week there have been protests over the insertion of an oil pipeline through the Native American people, mainly the Standing Rock tribe’s, sacred land. This new pipeline would, “threaten water supplies for the Standing Rock Sioux and millions of others downstream, and its route would destroy tribal burial grounds and sacred cultural land” (Healy). Many of the Native American people, along

It is no secret that our country has a need for oil and that need increases everyday. We will do anything to feed this habit, including allowing big oil companies to ruin land by running oil pipelines. According to a report done by the United States Department of Transportation, there are currently more than 2.4 million miles of pipeline already in operation within the United States. Of that, 72,563 miles carries crude oil to a various number of refineries across the land ("PHMSA"). According to Jeff Brady, a NPR correspondent, and Scott Horsley, a White House Correspondent, if the Keystone XL pipeline were fully completed, “The Keystone XL pipeline would be able to move up to 830,000 barrels a day of crude oil” (par. 6). TransCanada commissioned the Keystone pipeline in 2010, and since then their record on oil spill is less than perfect. According to Janna Palliser, Assistant Editor of Science Scope, during the first year of the Keystone pipeline being commissioned; it “Has had 14 spills since operations began. Of these spills, seven were 10 gallons or less, four were 100 gallons or less, two were between 400 and 500 gallons, and one was 21,000

Conflict over energy resources—and the wealth and power they create—has become an increasingly prominent feature for geopolitics particularly in the Middle East . The discovery of oil in the late nineteenth century added a dimension to the region as major outside states powers employed military force to protect their newly acquired interests in the Middle East. The U.S.’s efforts to secure the flow of oil have led to ever increasing involvement in the Middle East region’s political affairs and ongoing power struggles. By the end of the twentieth century, safeguarding the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf had become one of the most important functions of the U.S. military establishment. The close relationship between the United States and the Saudi royal family was formed in the final months of World War II, when U.S. leaders sought to ensure preferential access to Saudi petroleum. The U.S. link with Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region has demonstrated to be greatly beneficial to both parties, yet it has also led to ever deepening U.S. involvement in regional politics.

History of terrorism in Pakistan goes back to the time of Russian capture of Afghanistan. Pakistani powers have long had binds to residential aggressor amasses that help propel the nation 's center outside strategy engages. India and Afghanistan have blamed Pakistan 's security and discernment administrations for playing a "twofold amusement".

Oil has often been referred to as any economy’s lifeblood. Although this is an overemphasis, oil has been the key, nonhuman resource of the economy throughout the largest part of the 20th century. In the book “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, And Power” by Daniel Yergin, the author illustrates the political, societal, economic, and geo-strategic importance of this product.
