and the ocean came into view as the pilot maneuvered the gigantic beast towards the open sea. Once the chopper cleared land, it swooped to the north heading to their destination which would be home and work for the next fourteen days. The deepwater platform sat over a hundred and fifty miles North-West, off the most northern point of Scotland. Adaira finished her three-day offshore survival training course in time to join her work shift rotation. She’d taken a similar class in the states before

Where many saw an unpleasantly heavy steel structure that once supported an elevated rail line, Peter Obletz, did not. Obletz was many things, an activist, Metropolitan Transportation Authority consultant (which sparked his interest in the High Line), and chairman on the Community Board 4. He saw potential in the High Line, which was no longer active in 1982 when he saw it, one day while exploring an abandoned section of the once elevated rail. That trip began his fight in the 1970s. He challenged

Despite the positive development of oil and gas industry in this last decade, there is something more valuable have been put on the line. The environment needs to pay for every single mistake made by the human. One of the greatest mistakes in humankind history is an oceanic oil spill. It has become a major environmental problem that the world is facing right now. History has shown how this problem could go. From the first major commercial spill of 1967 in the United Kingdom, up to the most recent

On 20 April 2010, an explosion at Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers and led to the worst oil spill in the US history. The well owner BP was found to be responsible for the leak. The report will identify the risk management issues raised by the case and discuss the firm’s actions towards those issues. Also, an analysis of its crisis management followed by the comparison with Johnson & Johnson’ Tylenol Crisis is another focus in this report. Furthermore, lessons from

In the event of a zombie apocalypse everything in this world would change. Society will not be the same, the norms society once had will be different. Governments would like to establish social control but the environment would be too chaotic to control. A survival mode would be establish by everybody, everybody would be by themselves, and only protect their own. Resources would be the new currency, because paper money would no longer have value, but a resources will. Governments would like to establish

IS MAKING OIL DEALS WORTH THE SPILLS It seems today that everything comes with a promise or a benefit. Often as humans we have to make the choice whether we want to be more self-reliance or have a safer environment. That brings us to the subject of offshore drilling in regards to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Offshore drilling is the process of drilling for oil offshore in places such oceans or sea beds through an oil rig. Sound like something non-complex. Many would assume that offshore

Deepwater Horizon and then through the Derrick (BP, 2010). Following this, the blowout preventer was activated to stop the flow, however this had not worked. Gas had then leaked out, which resulted in an explosion, causing significant damage to the oil platform. BP (BP, 2010) also believed that the damaged Blowout preventer continued to fuel the fire with gas after the initial explosion. As a result of this, the explosion had resulted in the deaths of eleven personnel and the dispersal of nearly five million

The offshore drilling industry can be split into 5 key markets: upgrade market, contract drilling market, second-hand market, scrap market and contract drilling market. Among them contract drilling market is most important, because it ensures smooth cash flow between markets. drilling units is summarised in the table below. The table above describes cash flow within offshore drilling markets. Contract drilling market leases drilling units to O&G companies to drill or service wells, in turn they

Introduction Brown, Bessant, and Lamming (2013) indicate that “Operations management is concerned with those activities that enable an organization to transform a range of basic inputs into outputs for the customer” (p. 4).
