BP Cut Corners on Safety, Rig Design

TCSification — June 22, 2010 — Oil exploration and production (E&P) companies are drilling further out into the sea and deeper under the ocean floor, at depths greater than 1000 feet to tap into one of the last remaining pockets of oil and natural gas in the world.Though deepwater was once prohibitively expensive, high oil prices during 2007 and the first half of 2008 made the economics of deepwater drilling feasible. Oil’s collapse during the 2008 Financial Crisis has killed the margins of many in the industry, but demand for deepwater rigs is still high. Tied into long term contracts, companies continue to drill despite falling profits.Even then, new deepwater projects continue to be opened, as prices are expected to rebound in the long term because of rising global demand for energy. According to industry analysts, day rates will likely fall in the future as the shortfall in rigs is met by growing supply, and as the price of oil continues to remain low.That’s good for E&P companies, as they need oil. As traditional oil producing basins mature there are only a couple of places left to get oil. Renewable energy is projected to start taking away some of oil’s monopoly, but that may not be for decades to come.Global proven reserves of oil at the beginning of 2009 were at 1.342 trillion barrels, of which about 10% is deepwater – a little more than 100 billion barrels.

President Obama speech: Addicted to Oil

RussiaToday — June 16, 2010 — Barack Obama says he will make BP pay for damage caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Amid anger over his initial response to the crisis, the President called the disaster an “assault on America” during his first Oval Office address. Almost two months after an oil rig explosion, millions of litres of oil are still pouring into the ocean. In his speech, Obama, said the disaster should mark the beginning of the end for America’s addiction to fossil fuels. But as RT’s Lauren Lister reports, the nation may not be ready for that just yet.
