The Onshore And Offshore Petroleum Resource Of Australia

As Geological Survey (2010) argues, Australia is rich in minerals such as coal, aluminum, and iron ore. Similarly, Saudi Arabia is endorsed with more than one mineral because Geological Survey (2010) argues that the country is rich in Aluminum, Iron ore, mineral fuels, copper, gold, and zinc. It follows that both countries are not only endorsed with more than one mineral, but they also have an ability to produce aluminum an iron ore. Both countries can also produce mineral fuels because Australia produces coal while Saudi Arabia produces oil. However, Saudi Arabia is endorsed with a higher variety of minerals than

Offshore drilling has become an essential part of today’s oil production and demand for energy. With the growth of population comes the increasing demand for oil. The oil industry today, is one of the most used providers of energy. Today in the 20th century the majority of the population in America has a car and cars needs gas to run. The oil reserves in the earth that are easily accessible via land are starting to run dry and are becoming harder to find. This is why we have begun to see more and more offshore oil drills. Although there are benefits of offshore drilling such as profit, lower gas prices, and becoming less dependent on foreign oil. There are also many drawbacks in which if something were to go wrong, the mistake would be catastrophic impacting the environment, the nature, and have trickling effects all around the world.

The question that has arisen from this shift is whether or not the Canadian oil and gas industry inclusive of the upstream, and midstream sectors, has a net positive benefit to Canada. This essay will explore and seek to understand the myriad of issues that this industry faces daily.

Many people believe that gas and oil are found in huge subterranean caverns. Non-Renewable fossil fuels “supply Australia by more than 95% of their energy needed” (non-renewable energy). With an abundance amount of fossil fuels in the ground that means gas companies will need people to get it out therefore, a great deal of jobs will be

Modern day Canada is posed with the current issues of energy and the environment becoming increasingly important within the public and political sectors. The impetus has come from a variety of factors such as the collective development of nonconventional resources, the environmental concern of Canadians, and the demand for renewable energy sources. Many premiers have since called for a ‘national energy strategy’ however the governments tendency to avoid national approaches to energy allows no progression to be made. This has become largely apparent in the current debates over Alberta’s bitumen deposits. The Alberta government has advocated for a ‘national energy strategy’ led by Ottawa placing their political emphasis on the need for Canada to achieve a vision of environmental supremacy. This paper seeks to investigate the clashes of interprovincial trade and commerce powers with the provinces natural resource power debates over Alberta’s bitumen deposits in conjunction with the general Canadians feeling of a lack of democracy.

The Mining Act, 1990, has a significant role in protecting Ontario’s vast mineral resources and brings forth a set of policies in which promote responsible mining development and extraction. The provincial government plays an integral role in the provinces mining industry because the Act requires that all mineral claims must be recorded and accepted by the Crown which from then the two parties discuss a lease fee for the mineral rights. After locating a mineral claim in an area deemed open by the Crown, there are two options available for leases, the first being “The holder of a mining claim may elect to apply for a lease of the mining rights only.” (Government of Ontario, 2017), while the second option allows both the surface rights and

The Australian Constitution outlines a distinction between Federal and State powers. As a rule, what is not listed in sections 51 and 52 of the Constitution is an area of state responsibility. The role of state governments is primarily concerned with matters of public interest in their state. The state is responsible for setting up and maintaining the enforcement of law and order in their respective state. Health is also a major priority, with hospitals, ambulances and community health services all being provided by the state. The state is also responsible for providing a public education system, laying down and maintaining main roads and highways, setting up irrigation, and providing public transport. In order to carry out these services

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

16. The Minister for Resources and Energy can decide whether an improvement is substantial or valuable and can set aside areas adjourning these improvements as areas where no petroleum production activities are to be carried out on the surface without the owner’s consent . Disputes over whether something is a ‘significant improvement’ are settled in the Land and Environment Court, and either party can apply to the Court for a ruling

The legal, the neighborhood government and the central government ought to work as an inseparable unit to control the petroleum gas industry. They ought to ensure that the direction of this vitality industry does not impacts affect the general wellbeing by;

The Australian Constitution creates a highly contemporary federal structure, which means that intergovernmental relations are very important for the system to operate effectively in which Section 51(xx) of the constitution provides shared powers to state and federal government. The Commonwealth and states sought to achieve uniform corporate regulation from the 1960s, resulting in the corporations law.

Paragraph 1: Australian resources are bountiful and aplenty when it comes to need in Australia. According to geoscience sector of the Australian government , Australia's mineral resources are an integral factor of the nation's wealth. Most money that pays for the development of our country, comes from the selling of our mined resources. In actual fact, for the selling of our precious minerals, we don’t even have

Australian Oil Refining Pty Ltd ('AOR') and Caltex Oil (Australia) Pty Ltd ('Caltex') were gatherings for managing harmony according to which AOR refined unrefined petroleum that was delivered to its refinery on the southern shore of Botany Bay by Caltex, and after that dispatched the refined item back to Caltex's oil terminal on the northern shore of Botany Bay by means of a pipeline that kept streaming under bay. AOR was the title-holder of the pipeline. Under the terms of the agreement Caltex held accountability for oil in its different structures, and AOR was answerable for the hazard of destruction or depletion to the oil as it streamed through its pipeline.

In exchange for their environment, the companies agree to provide jobs like laborers, managers and traders; education; financial payments; business and economic development. This makes the First Nations to take up leadership roles in their communities, the mining sector and the society at large. Also, First Nations makes these mining companies to respect and recognize their rights and titles. The companies also provide environmental protection. By consulting the First nations first before using their lands and providing benefits, they will be no conflicts between the mining companies and First

Mans continued reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and oil has driven the expansion and exploration for oil reserves in many of the worlds oceans including the coast of Western Australia. Whilst there is a strong push toward greener cleaner energy sources, the fossil fuel industry continues to draw on the support of the Australian Government and others, principally, due to the economic benefits and financial rewards for all. Australia has become extremely reliant on both imported and local sources of oil to fuel both commercial and private sectors. Local sources can be found in the ocean off the north coast of Western Australia, including the Montara Oil reserve in the Australia Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) operated by the Thai-based
