The document discusses the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, including issues around using foreign oil skimming ships to help with cleanup efforts due to the Jones Act. It provides updates on containment and cleanup efforts over time, including deployment of booms, oil recovered, and plans to install a new cap on the leaking well. Relief well drilling progressed with temporary delays due to weather.
Is Deep Water Oil Drilling a National Security Issue
The US government considers oil drilling in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico a national security priority because there are significant oil reserves located deep under the Gulf that could help decrease US dependence on foreign oil imports. Both the oil industry and the government face challenges in developing technologies needed to economically extract oil from ultra-deepwater reserves over 6,000 feet deep. The Department of Energy has committed substantial funds towards research to create new technologies for efficient exploration and production in the deepwater Gulf, in order to access these strategic oil reserves and regain US leadership in deepwater drilling.

BMA Capital - E&p crude oil bleak outlook on oversupply and weak macros
Crude oil prices recovered in the second half of FY15, closing 10-11% higher due to a decline in US rig counts, increased global demand, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, prices started FY16 on a bearish note and the near term outlook remains bleak due to concerns over additional supplies from Iran and economic stability in the EU. Long term, the author expects demand to improve and shale production to soften, balancing the market. POL and OGDC are the author's preferred plays in the exploration and production sector.
Oil Dependancy
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico started on August 24th when an oil pipe broke underneath the Transocean Horizon deepwater rig, leaking 42,000 gallons of oil per day. The spill had major social, economic, and environmental impacts - it cost $100-200 million to clean up, fishermen could no longer fish in the polluted waters, and many sea creatures were found dead with over 300 oiled seagulls washing up on shore. To prevent future spills, recommendations included not placing oil pipes under deepwater rigs and relocating pipes to reduce the risk of leaks.

The document also discusses potential future impacts and compares the level of protection and development pressures between different Arctic regions.
Oil Pollution
This document discusses oil pollution from spills. It begins with an introduction that describes how oil spills harm the environment and are difficult to clean up. It then covers topics like the composition of crude oil, sources of oil pollution such as tanker accidents and pipeline leaks, methods for treating oil spills, the toxicity of petroleum, and the ecological impacts of oil in the environment. Specific case studies of major oil spills are also mentioned such as the Exxon Valdez and some spills that occurred in India.
Exxon valdez gulf of mexico oil spill
The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in 1989 when an oil tanker struck a reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska, spilling approximately 11 million gallons of crude oil. Nearly 20 years later, scientists found the effects were still lasting far longer than expected, with some Arctic shoreline habitats estimated to take up to 30 years to recover. While Exxon Mobil denied long-term ecological impacts, other studies concluded the contamination could produce chronic low-level exposure and decrease the wilderness character of the affected areas.
The 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill resulted from an explosion on an offshore drilling rig that killed 11 workers. The ruptured well spilled millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf over months, threatening wildlife.

Deepwater Horizon Blowout
Rehabilitating a Reputation after a Catastrophic Spill
BP, formerly known as British Petroleum, is an oil and gas company based in the United Kingdom, with global operations and 84,000 employees in 2012. It finds, extracts, transports, refines, and sells oil and gas products and has been a highly profitable company with pre-spill profits of $14 billion in 2009. Headquartered in London, BP is the second largest company in the U.K. and its brand was ranked 83rd in the world according to industry firm Interbrand. It owns oil and gas exploration rights, oil and gas fields, refineries, pipelines, large crude carrier ships, and gas stations and other oil-based products all over the world. Its chief executive officer, Tony Hayward, a geologist, was appointed from within BP’s administrative ranks in 2007.BP’s Safety Record
Before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill there were a number of U.S. safety and environmental incidents involving BP operations that caused some to question whether BP put profit ahead of other considerations.
BP was held responsible for a 2005 Texas City, Texas, oil refinery explosion that killed fifteen workers and injured 170; the company agreed to pay $21 million in federal fines for more than 300 safety violations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration found more than 700 violations in a follow-up inspection in 2009, and BP agreed to pay $50.6 million for safety violations it had failed to correct following the 2005 refinery explosion. BP paid $13 million for 409 new safety violations discovered in 2009. As a result, the company invested $1 billion on safety and infrastructure improvements. One investigative report said that the Texas City disaster “was caused by organizational and safety deficiencies at all levels of the BP Corporation.” Just weeks before the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the news media reported the same Texas City refinery plant accidentally released 500,000 pounds of toxic chemicals into the skies over a forty-day period before the mistake was discovered by workers.
A number of negative environmental incidents involving BP-owned oil wells and pipelines had occurred in Alaska. In 2006 the biggest Alaskan oil spill ever happened after a section of the 800-mile Trans-Alaska pipeline corroded and leaked more than 5,078 barrels (267,000 gallons) of crude oil into Prudhoe Bay, Alaska; another smaller leak was discovered a few months later. As a result of the leaks, BP paid $25 million in fines and was ordered to correct the problems. A smaller oil– water mixture leak occurred in 2009 during a pressure test of a pipeline at BP’s Lis-burne Processing Center. A 2010 investigation by ProPublica revealed various parts of the Alaskan North Slope pipelines were in such bad shape that 148 sections were labeled as in “imminent danger” of rupturing.
Deepwater Horizon Explosion
Technological advances in oil drilling and climbing oil prices made the Gulf of Mexico an attractive source for oi.
The two biggest oil spills
The Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 released 10.9 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound in Alaska after the ship ran aground. It took over 11,000 personnel and 1,400 vessels to clean up the spill but oil persisted in the ecosystem for a decade, negatively impacting wildlife. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico released between 8.8-49 million gallons when the drilling platform exploded and sank, and continues to spill 800,000 liters daily. While the full impact is not yet known, it will likely be catastrophic to the environment similar to Exxon Valdez. Efforts are underway to close leak points and contain the spreading oil.

Putting A Freeze on Arctic Drilling
The document summarizes the response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and contrasts it with the limited response capabilities that would be available for a similar spill off Alaska's Arctic coast. The massive response to the Gulf spill involved over 47,000 responders and cost billions, despite the region having extensive infrastructure like ports, airports, roads and pre-positioned response equipment. In contrast, there is little infrastructure in the Arctic and few response assets, which would severely hamper any spill response.

It provides context on the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, including images of the damaged rig, oil gushing from the wellhead, cleanup efforts, and impacted wildlife. The document aims to share strategies for making science prominent in interdisciplinary learning about important global issues using the oil spill as a case study.
Putting A Freeze on Arctic Drilling
The document summarizes the response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and contrasts it with the limited response capabilities that would be available for a similar spill off Alaska's Arctic coast. The massive response to the Gulf spill involved over 47,000 responders and cost billions, despite the region having extensive infrastructure like ports, airports, roads and pre-positioned response equipment. In contrast, there is little infrastructure in the Arctic and few response assets, which would severely hamper any spill response.

Contamination in México presents a summary of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the largest oil spills in Mexican history. The spill began after an oil rig exploded, collapsing and causing oil to spill into the Gulf for 85 days, releasing over 3.4 million liters of oil. The spill covered an area of 4,800 square kilometers and threatened over 400 species of wildlife as well as jobs and coastal communities in Louisiana. The total cost of cleanup and damages was estimated at over $12.5 billion.

Contamination in México
The document summarizes a major oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 caused by an explosion at an oil plant owned by PEMEX. Over the next 85 days, approximately 3.4 million liters of oil were spilled into the Gulf daily, contaminating over 4,800 square kilometers of ocean and coastal areas. The spill had devastating environmental and economic impacts, threatening over 400 species of wildlife and causing over 12,000 jobs to be lost in Louisiana. The total costs of cleanup and damages exceeded $12.5 billion. The document urges realizing that while humanity belongs to nature, we do not have the right to destroy it.
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
The document summarizes two major oil spills: the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Exxon Valdez spill released over 10 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound, Alaska, killing hundreds of thousands of seabirds, sea otters, and other wildlife. Decades later the area has only partially recovered. The Deepwater Horizon spill resulted from an oil rig explosion off the Gulf Coast that killed 11 workers. It released an even larger amount of oil and also threatened hundreds of species, coastal wetlands, and fisheries in the Gulf region.
