Oil accidents in the North Sea stifle

2011-11-23T00:27:00.001-08:00

The EU has the strictest safety regulations. But we must do more to
prevent disasters such as in South America

When it came last year when the petroleum hole to blow out on the oil
rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico, eleven people lost
their lives, and it flowed four million barrels of petroleum into the
sea. The world was shocked by the extent of the accident and still
more on how long it took to bring the situation under control. This
has undermined confidence in the offshore petroleum and gas industry.
This raises the question of what would happen in a similar incident in
EU waters.

The offshore energy plays in security of supply and competitiveness in
Europe a crucial role. About 90 percent of the petroleum produced in
the EU and 60 percent of electricity produced in the EU natural gas
are extracted from the seabed. In European waters are nearly 1,000
petroleum and gas plants in operation. In the North Sea are subject to
drilling the world's most stringent safety regulations, but in other
areas for improvement. Currently do operate in only 13 Member States,
offshore activities, accidents do not know, but stop at national
borders. For this reason, the European Commission has decided to
propose strict new safety rules that would be binding throughout the
EU. Their compliance should be monitored by independent experts.

It starts with the permit.

It must be guaranteed that the Member States shall only companies with
sufficient expertise and financial strength of the permit.

The new safety standards require offshore companies from a risk
assessment and emergency plan. These plans and any subsequent changes
must be audited by independent experts, national authorities give the
green light. In addition, inspectors will carry out regular checks on
drilling platforms. For violations, the company may be prohibited
immediately, weiterzubohren. The inspection results will be published
so that citizens can learn about it.

In addition to accident prevention is ensured by the new rules that
will respond to accidents quickly and carefully. The company, which
carries out the hole, must have equipment on site, which can be used
immediately.

It must also be taken to ensure that the environment and the
livelihoods of local communities will not be compromised if the
operator of the accident no longer in control. This requires national
emergency resources to be operational. There are also the means and
the expertise of neighboring Member States and the European Maritime
Safety Agency for the disposal to limit damage, if not sufficient
national capacity. To further enhance the effect, the European
Commission proposes to extend the environmental liability from 22 to
370 miles off the coast, which would include all plants.

Ultimately it is in everyone's interest that the offshore security is
guaranteed. Therefore, the Commission will work with its international
partners to promote the enforcement of the world's strictest safety
standards. By EU companies should be expected to apply the EU security
standards and always in activities outside the European Union.

All measures shall not prevent the EU member states from applying
stricter rules. It must be guaranteed, however, that each operator
within the EU complies with this high level of safety. This can best
be controlled by national authorities. But we must also ensure that
these rules are applied everywhere.

petroleum refining technology

2010-02-28T06:56:00.000-08:00

Petroleum refiners must face billion-dollar investments in equipment in order to meet ever-changing environmental requirements. Because the design and construction of new processing plants entail several years’ lead time, refiners are reluctant to commit these dollars for equipment that may no longer meet certain conditions when the units come on stream.

Written by experts with both academic and professional experience in refinery operation, design, and evaluation, Petroleum Refining Technology and Economics, Fifth Edition is an essential handbook for learners and a vital resource for engineers. This latest edition of a bestselling text provides updated data and addresses changes in refinery feedstock, product distribution, and processing requirements resulting from federal and state legislation.

Providing a detailed overview of today’s integrated fuels refinery, the book discusses each major refining process as they relate to topics such as feedstock preparation, operating costs, catalysts, yields, finished product properties, and economics. It also contains end-of-chapter problems and an ongoing case study.

Oil Rig Equipment Field Manual book review

2010-02-16T10:58:00.000-08:00

In his Oil Rig Equipment Field Manual Lyons provides engineers with a solid background for understanding the tools required for successful drilling operations. A successful drilling operation depends not only on the skills and capabilities of the drilling staff but also on expert knowledge of the equipment. However, many in the business have found that the number competently trained, properly developed and experienced drilling personnel has dropped dramatically over the last decade. Many operations are simply short of competent rig personnel in an industry where technology has changed dramatically in that same time period. A "quick lookup" guide to the required technical equipment used in a progressive ever changing operational environment and working rig culture. Concise and easy to read, the Drilling Rig Equipment Field Manual presents a description of the various types of rig equipment including prime movers, power transmission, pumps and compressors. The book is heavily illustrated to add a visual dimension not found in other books. The objective is to allow the reader to develop a "feel" for the parameters needed to design and their relative importance.

Race for New Oil Fields

2008-01-27T03:41:00.000-08:00

...Race for New Oil Fields
By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press Writer © 2008 The Associated Press DAVOS, Switzerland — An Iraq at peace may be capable of pumping substantially more than 5 million barrels of crude a day _ and the world's big oil companies want to be part of the action if and when it does....Al-Shahristani's view of his country as "the place ... for future work in the industry" is shared by many in the industry.
Saudi Arabia, the Middle East petroleum powerhouse, now produces about 9 million barrels a day and will likely remain OPEC's most prolific source of crude for decades of come.
But there is intense interest in expanding other sources of supply because of concerns that the oil flow from Iran, the organization's No. 2 producer, could be interrupted if tensions with the U.S. over Tehran's nuclear program turn into conflict.....
