Burning thing on offshore oil rigs?

hey guys, have u noticed that the offshore oil rigs have this the where u can see a flame, somebody told me it was just excess oil that they got, so instead of transporting it, they just burn it. Is this true?





If this is the case, I am appalled, with the oil shortages and allBurning thing on offshore oil rigs?
NO !! When U produce oil very often there is a poisonous gas like H2S . It is so deadly that about the second breath of 300 ppm will kill.That is why a the gas plants all over the world just burn it. It produces SO2. Burning thing on offshore oil rigs?
I passed oil rigs for years in Indonesia. What you see are oil wells that are getting some natural gas mixed in with the oil. They don't get enough gas to make it economical to build a pipeline to shore and build a liquefaction plant to make LNG, so they burn it off so it won't make a hazardous, explosive atmosphere around the rig. Plus, NG gives horrible headaches if you (when I) breathe it.
There's a lot of hydrocarbon-based gas produced, which can't be transported in liquid form. They burn this off rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. (Remember, methane is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.)
Nope , not at all..


The flare is burning off natural gas which usually


occurs during testing %26amp; maintenance.


No significant amounts of gas are burned off...
It is indeed natural gas, aka methane to help prevent and explosion

Offshore oil and gas limited nigeria?

. The offers seems very generous.





Yet, still the 25% money that I need to pay from myself what do you think about that.





Cheers,Offshore oil and gas limited nigeria?
there is many ';companies'; in this country that maybe are not in this country!! this is generaly a fake. an oil and gas company will never ask you to pay anything about your travel (fly ticket or anything else). to help you to decide: if you've been contacted by email, if the email is from hotmail, yahoo, gmail or other you can be shure it's not good. an honesty company have his own site and so an example :


soforoilandgas@gmail.com is a fake


mrobertson@soforoilandgas.com ';may'; be good


just verify if ';soforoilandgas.com'; can be found in search yahoo.com.


if the site exist it can be a fake too, if you find article talking about him you can decide by yourself.


remember: the companies never ask you to pay your travel or airfares.

Be careful of the worldwide scam from Nigeria. They are many ways they do the scams. They may pose themselves as a very big company or even from the government bodies, show you the award letter from the government for a very big job, usually involves millions. All you require is to pay some small amount for so called lawyer fee, contract fee, registration, etc... in order to get the job. If you could let me know what kind of offers they give you, I should be able to tell you whether it's real or not real. In my experience and based on my knowledge, if you require to come out with any money upfront to get a job, it's most likey a scam. If need be, I can ask my client in Nigeria to find out for you whether it's a real deal. Or alternatively, you can contact nearby Nigerian Embassy for advice.
sir if u are dealing in nigeria please really be careful, i lost lots of money there before in lagos, they didnt pay for my goods.

Is it true that oil companies have donated $2 Million to McCain after his offshore drilling flip-flopped?

I don't know if it is true or not . but i sure hope it is true .


McCain needs to win .Is it true that oil companies have donated $2 Million to McCain after his offshore drilling flip-flopped?
The Washington Post reported that McCain received $1.1 million from oil and gas industry executives and employees in June -- three-quarters of which came after he called for lifting the ban on offshore drilling on June 16.

Yes and I also heard today Obama has been the beneficiary of several hundred thousands from said oil companies. It's strictly business, they donate to both sides. Not to worry, they'll get it back from us with dividends.
I do not know specificaly about these specific claimes, but the oil companies, and the rest of Wall Street, collectively have ownership of BOTH parties sewn up. Choice has been only an illusion in this country since 1963.
Yes this is true. It is information has been verified. It was on CNN the day after it happened. Here is the first google result, out of several thousand





http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsm鈥?/a>
Most corporations hedge their donations by giving to both parties. Maybe we should nationalize the oil companies so the liberals could do with them the same fine job they have done with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
How much do you think they will give to Obama for the very same thing?





';Points earned this week: -195';





Wow, Chi! You must either be asking a load of questions, or you have been running your mouth off (again).
Its true. That man has a history of pandering to big money lobbies. He got his butt busted from the SNL scandal and still hasn't learned his lesson.
It may be that high by now. I had read the other day that the number was well over a million at that time.
And 6 million to curious george the other flip flopper!
No, McCain weighed the possibilities and corrected his position, it was Obama who flip-flopped.
Yes. oil companies are big supporters of the GOP.






Obama just Flopped on this to, If Mc got 2m Obama will get his.
No, that's a blatant lie. I notice the glaring omission of a link showing otherwise.
No. Is that why Obama changed his mind? To get some of that Big Oil money?
its true
stop drinking the Kool-aid

Is Bush refusing to overturn his fathers executive order banning offshore drilling payback for his oil buddies

Bush鈥檚 father, under political pressure to show his environmental credentials, issued an executive order in 1990 that barred most offshore drilling.





So why has Bush not overturned it? Congress cannot overturn an executive order, they can only change federal law. Congress can overturn the federal law banning drilling in protected areas on LAND, but only Bush can make it legal to drill offshore. Bush could make it legal to drill offshore today if he wants too. Is it payback to his oil buddies to help keep the price of oil higher for them?Is Bush refusing to overturn his fathers executive order banning offshore drilling payback for his oil buddies
No.





You guys really need to get over this joined at the hip with his oil buddies mantra. There's absolutely nothing to back it up, but it's so easy to say.Is Bush refusing to overturn his fathers executive order banning offshore drilling payback for his oil buddies
No, it's political posturing.





We have leased so many public lands and waters to oil companies where oil has been discovered, that if they made their best effort to drill as fast as possible (forgetting they have wells they can workover that have been capped and forgetting what it does to their average cost and forgetting that this price spike will not last forever), they'd be drilling 30-40 years in round-the-clock shifts.





Leasing more land isn't going to lead to more drilling, and he knows that it won't.





Oil at 135 dollars a barrel means more wells are operating and more drilling is happening though. Workover rigs are up 32% year-over-year, and rotary drilling rigs are up in use 38% in the last 11 months.
Because the 'Uniter' likes to keep the pot stirred. Notice he's pointing his finger at the Dems, when it's Rep Govs that won't allowing off shore drilling. I remember the spill in Santa Barbara in the late sixties, the Governator is not likely to lift any bans here.
Nope, he's just playing political games. I'm sure that if the Democrats wanted to pass a bill and send it to him, he'd veto it saying, ';My dad put this in and I'm not going to allow these Democrats to undo the good things my daddy did for America.'; But by playing both sides he can say, ';Hey, they won't do it...look...see. They're bad.';
The EO by Bush 41 was about a certain type of exploration... There is a federal drilling ban enacted by congress in 1981.





There would be no point in authorizing an outdated exploration process when you can't legally drill for whatever you happen to find!
Bush said he would lift the executive order as soon as congress lifted the 1981 federal order. I even heard that on a liberal news station.
Actually Bush Sr. just renewed the order, Reagan put it in place to begin with.

  • Can you get a job as a receptionist or admin offshore on an oil rig?

    Receptionist for sure not. Computers are used for clocking in workers. Other statistics that need to be recorded like how much oil was mined on a shift, etc is inputted into computers as well. An office on land processes it. The oil rig is like the ';factory floor.';Can you get a job as a receptionist or admin offshore on an oil rig?
    I am pretty sure that they don't have receptionist on offshore rigs. They don't get a lot of drop-ins there.





    The only personnel typically on the rigs are those who need to be there to do their job. It is expensive and dangerous, so they don't have average office workers out there.
