Analysis Of The Montara Wellhead Platform Drill Rig Owned By Pttep Australasia

Over there oil companies have put in pumping stations in people's lands and they are not happy about it at all. It is not safe it could potentially kill someone or cause them a life long disability. They have no say on who gets their land it's basically force they live everyday in fear of losing their lives. These big companies have definitely abused their power they make a lot of money and get addicted to the whole lifestyle but this is one of the major things ruining the earth. There's even a plan of evacuation if something goes wrong and if something does happen they could potentially ruin a whole chunk of habitat and wildlife. All the families are paranoid everyday that something will happen to them and their loved ones their pleas are denied by the government they are hopeless right

One of the issues that the Huaorani faced was the oil that was contaminating their water supply. This was a big health issue because all the little kids were swimming in the water filled with oil. Not only were the oil companies destroying the rivers but the land as well. These issues affected the Huaorani greatly and the oil companies did nothing to help. Multinational corporations like these should be responsible for the damage that they create. They should not be able to just go into a country and take what they want without caring about the land and the people that live there. Respect the people just how the would want them to respect them as a

The first relation should be between the natives and their land in connection with the potential petroleum production and the world. This issue is global in scope as 95% of Canada and 12% of the world's oil is in Alberta. A secondary relation is not only in terms of domestic resources, but the global effects of extraction, as NASA supports that the domestic and international effects would be catastrophic with twice the amount of CO2 being emitted from this Canadian extraction than all of the oil used in history (McCreary & Milligan, 116.) As stated initially, the merit of this article focuses on the actions taken by First Nations and their supporters. Enbridge's proposed pipeline project has initiated research in Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge to supposedly help guide them through a means of working with protesting groups. The findings of this research ultimately leaned towards ways of rerouting maps due to regulatory requirements. Enbridge is an example of a corporation that does not recognize the authority of First Nations groups. A neo-colonial relationship is produced and practiced in territory and development (McCreary & Milligan, 117.) There is very little mention on the media about the improvements of First Nations rights. Though there have been triumphs in aboriginal rights, indigenous development according to McCreary are deeply political/material advancements that not only coincide with the events, but are dependent on returns of resource extraction and consumption (McCreary & Milligan,

Most people probably do not think about how much of their lives depend on oil. This profitable commodity is constantly being used around the world, twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. From the scented creams people use on their bodies, to the airline jets soaring above, oils are being used. Oil is one of three major forms of fossil fuels, coal and natural gas being the rest. Fossil fuels began forming millions of years ago in the Carboniferous Period when trees, plants, and small organisms died (DOE, 2015). Eventually the fossils sank to the bottom of many swamps and oceans forming layers of peat (a brown, soil-like, and spongy material). Over thousands of years, peat was covered by clay, sand, and other minerals which turned into a type of rock called sedimentary. Over thousands of years rocks piled on top of the peat creating more pressure. Eventually the pressure managed to squeeze water out of the peat and over millions of years, this mineral rich water turned into the three major fossil fuels that people know and use today (DOE, 2015). Regardless of its proficiency and success, the oil industry has become one of the most unethical businesses in the world. Their blatant disregard for the environment and its inhabitants have continuously put them in the crosshairs of many conservatives and concerned citizens. This paper primarily focuses on the ethical dilemmas that surround the oil industry.

better than one, the acceptance of common good is better for others than the greed of own

This demands an intersectional approach when attempting to understand the complex implications it has on a social, political and environmental scale. It has been discussed that the discursive consequences can be seen in maintaining the hegemonic perspectives, silencing of environmental perspectives and progressing the colonial legacy. Also the distributive effects are demonstrated in large economic disparity, and complex social issues in both the communities and aboriginal groups present in Fort McMurray. The recommend course of action to amend these inequities and environmental injustices is to create a new, scientific based, long term environmental assessment act. This act is to stipulate the new parameters the oil an gas sector must follow to preserve environmental integrity in Canada and our resource economy for future generations. This is intended to create a more level playing field against the capitalist tendencies of capital accumulation, and to lessen the social inequalities present in the province. As a final piece of evidence I will offer my own account as a Calgarian moved to the west coast, of the Albertan mind set and understanding of the oil sands. I will admit that my perspective was an indoctrinated one when I initially left Alberta. Not in the sense that there was no environmentalist perspective present in Calgary but, that it was over powered

I am from Peru, a country rich in natural resources. On June 5th of 2009, twenty four police officers were killed by indigenous activists protesting oil and mining projects in the north of Peru. Those “activists” trespassed a petroleum facility belonging

Hitting an oil well on someone’s land is the dream of a lot of oil miners. Most oil miners have never seen a new well being tapped, that’s because of the technology available to people. Most oil miners will never experience the tapping of a fresh oil well. For the most part, all the untapped oil deposits are in endangered landscapes that are protected by sanctions, and or preservation laws. With all that untapped oil lying dormant in a deposit, it infuriates people that believe in drilling to provide for their families. There are millions of jobless people that would kill to have a job, and preserving the oil I these landscapes prevents jobs to grow in the world. Many preservationists just

So if the Italian society demands an environmentally friendly refinery, it is in Pignatelli’s best interest that he build one, which deems it necessary for Gulf to spend the extra money, taken from the shareholders, to put towards building a refinery that satisfies the demands and values of the Italian people. The social responsibility perspective argues that society grants existence to firms. Under this perspective it is best for managers to provide a return of capital to shareholders while also meeting the demands of society in order to be socially responsibly and continue to exist within a society.

On August 2nd, 1990, in a dispute over the Rumaila oil field, on the Iraq/Kuwait border, more than 100,000 Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait. The United Nations condemned the invasion and called for Iraq’s immediate withdrawal. The following day, President George H. W. Bush announced Operation Desert Shield, a 38-nation coalition which later became Operation Desert Storm – the successful military campaign to liberate Kuwait (Britain and the Americas: Culture, politics, and history. The Gulf War (1991). 2005). These events, together with the deliberate destruction of Kuwait’s oil fields by retreating Iraqi soldiers, brought into focus the need for the United States and other western countries to minimize their reliance on foreign oil. Since then, according to authors John Golden and Hannah Wiseman (2015) writing in the Emory Law Journal, advances in oil and gas extraction technologies, such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, have significantly increased America’s fuel production capability. However, despite our move towards energy independence, these technologies are not without controversy. For example, in his article Hydraulic Fracturing: Critical for Energy Production, Jobs, and Economic Growth, Nicholas Loris (2012) highlights the concerns of several environmental groups who believe that hydraulic fracturing causes earthquakes and chemical contamination of the water supply. Despite these objections, hydraulic fracturing is actually good for the environment, and

Common good creates a just and peaceful world because all of the people are in harmony with each other, are affixed to one goal, and think as one mind in Christ. In order to achieve common good we must relieve our hearts with the selfishness and biases that we have against others and we must focus on the universal outcome of our actions.

An oil spill is not just a splatter of grease, it’s an accident in which oil has come out of a ship and caused pollution, according to Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary and Thesaurus. In the film, How to Let Go of the World and Love All Things Climate Can’t Change it focus’ on this issue where the oil company came in and spilling tons of oil throughout the Amazonian Rainforest, spreading two km. The indigenous people who lived there go out there every day to help cleanup all this oil that has been spilled. Knowing the crude oil is highly dangerous when it comes in contact with the skin, the helpers are lacking proper safety equipment which can cause poisoning and burns. The community members should not be the ones cleaning up the mess this oil company has caused.

Oil Drilling has many effects on the environment from the air we breathe to the oceans that inhabit many species. While one of the outcomes of oil drilling is money, it is forgotten that money won’t help repair all of the damage that is done to mother nature. Not only does the outcome of drilling for fossil fuels affect the oceans, rainforest, etc. it also has an effect on local business’ and the health of humans. If people want change, they need to be the

The good that can be achieved must outweigh deaths and destruction incurred. (International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences Online 2008)

Since the past few decades, owning a car has become a necessity in order to commute from one place to another. However, cars do not work automatically, they require fuel. Since the past decade, the petroleum industry has become one of the leading industries impacting the nation’s economy. Oil has become an essential commodity as it is utilized in transportation vehicles, serves as a raw material for manufacturing plastics, and is utilized in homes for cooking. America’s economy is greatly dependent on petroleum as it is the “black gold” of the nation. The considerable significance of oil has led to the drilling of it, which is not only limited to land, but also the oceans. Offshore drilling is a method in which petroleum is extracted from underneath the seabed. It is one of the significant technological advancements in the past few decades. However, the ones who are involved in the process of offshore oil production are humans, and humans tend to make mistakes. In 1969, due to a human error, an oil spill occurred and natural gas, oil, and mud shot up the well and oozed into the ocean (“Offshore Drilling”). The oil spilled led to an environmental disaster which killed thousands of marine animals and distorted the environment. In order to prevent the same error, the government passed a moratorium in 1981, banning more than 85 percent of the country’s oil drilling sites (“Offshore Drilling”). The moratorium restricted the United States to mass-produce its natural resource.
