Two years ago, in Eden, North Carolina, thousands of tons of coal ash and twenty-seven million gallons of contaminated water spilled into the Dan River. This coal ash spill is known to be the third worst coal ash spill to occur in all of the United States. When the waste of coal after it burns(aka coal ash) is accumlated it is then dumped into a pond. A pipe that was running under a pond which contained coal ash in it ruptured. This leaky pipe went unnoticed for over two days, and lead to the contamination

Wells Fargo’s scandal of involving the sales of credit and debit cards, and traditional banking services which have led to the payment of million fines to the U.S. Consumer Finance Protection Board in 2016. The fiasco was caused by the fraudulent cross-selling of employees which have violated consumers' trust. Valuable lessons to be learned from the scandal including taking employees seriously and designing incentives with care are also offered for the future. For every company, the clear message

in the petroleum industry. The BP oil spill did not just affect the company, it affected so much more; it had such a huge impact on the birds, whales, and the costal habitats. Six years ago the Macondo oil well in the Gulf of Mexico blew out, causing an explosion. Oil leaked from the broken well from mid-April to mid-July, nearly three months, causing more than 200 million gallons of crude oil to swim out onto the gulf shoreline. In addition to the oil, almost 2 million gallons of virulent dispersant

A HUGE OIL RIG EXPLOSION AND OIL SPILLED IN THE GULF OF MEXICO WHICH TOOK LIVES OF 11 PEOPLE .THIS OIL SPILL SCENE HAPPENED 40 MILES OFF THE COAST NAMED LOUISSIAN COAST SITUATED IN GULF OF MEXICO.THE BRITISH PETROLEUM GAVE CONTRACT OF DRILLING THE WELL TO SOME TRANS UNION AND DURING THAT DRILLING PERIOD, OIL AND NATURAL GAS LEAKED ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.THE OIL WAS ESCAPED FROM THE HOLE BLOWOUT OF THE DRILLING PIPE AND GAS FOLLOWED THE OIL BECAUSE OIL AND GAS ARE FOUND IN THE SAME RESERVOIRS.

The British Petroleum oil spill damaged the shorelines of four Gulf states. Worse yet, it took three months to build the relief well to stop the flow. It immediately threatened more than sixty five thousand acres in four National Wildlife Refuges, home to endangered species. Approximately forty percent of the coastal wetlands of the lower forty eight states is located in Louisiana

On May 10 1869, workers hammered the "golden spike" into the rail road tracks at Promontory Point, Utah. That was the spot were the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railways met to form rail tracks that could carry passenger from the Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean the railroad helped cut a five-month wagon journey to six days! Some experts say the day the spike was driven is one of the most inportant days in US history. Do you agree. On May 10 1869, workers hammered the "golden spike" into

2015). There are two main types of hydraulic fracturing: vertical and horizontal (Choma, et al, 2016). Vertical fracking is the conventional method of drilling straight down into the earth’s crust, compared to horizontal fracking which allows the well to take place laterally (Choma, et al, 2016). The mix

Community & Fracking: The Great Divide A woman stood at the doorway and watched until the shiny car pulled away out of sight. She turned around and returned to her seat at the table. She stared at the empty space where the contract had been and replayed the deal the man had presented to her. The oil company was ready to give $2,500 an acre plus 15 percent royalty in exchange for the rights to frack on her land. She had heard stories of people becoming rich from fracking and about how the oil industry

produces mainly from the Oligocene Vedder Formation and Eocene sandstones within the Kreyenhagen Formation in the San Joaquin basin, California. The Vedder and Kreyenhagen sandstones in the Wasco oil field consist of fine-to coarse-grain, very poor to well sorted, angular to sub round, arkosic arenites. Porosity development in these deeply buried sandstones was significantly affected by compaction, dissolution of framework grains, and precipitation of authigenic minerals. These diagenetic processes controlled

On April 5th, 2010 at approximately 3:02p.m., an explosion occurred at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, West Virginia. Upper Big Branch Mine was part of Performance Coal Company (PCC), a subsidiary of Massey Energy. Rescue teams searched for days to locate possible survivors. 29 of 31 miners working at the time were killed, and the two others were injured. The last of the bodies were not found and removed until April 9th, four days after the explosion. It was the worst mining accident in 40
