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.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con鈥?/a>Is it true that oil companies have donated $2 Million to McCain after his offshore drilling flip-flopped?
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.

What are the hours like for an offshore oil rig chef?
Usually you work 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Sometimes longer. You will also work something like 14 days on the rig, followed by 7 days off, or 7/7, sometimes you might be able to work 28/14.
It's hard work and many people can't handle being away from home all of that time. You do make good money and with no place to spend it, it's yours to keep.

Are you for or against offshore oil drilling
Just the mention of serious off shore drilling has dropped the price of oil. Supply and demand will dictate the cost at the pump, but the threat of us becoming oil independent is more than the oil supplying nations can bear. We must impliment new ways of eliminating our need for foriegn oil, if only to keep the prices at a reasonable level.Are you for or against offshore oil drilling
For - While developing alternative energy sources should be a priority, we need to drill for oil in the US. The fact that much of the oil we import comes from the Middle East creates a national security issue for us. By sending money to the governments of countries such as Saudi Arabia, we are indirectly funding the terrorists that wish to destroy America. I am not concerned specifically about the price of oil. High gas prices force people to develop cleaner sources of energy and conserve these polluting fossil fuels. Offshore drilling for oil should be primarily to keep us safe, not to provide relief at the pump.Are you for or against offshore oil drilling
Against. First it will have no effect on oil prices as oil prices are not set by the laws of supply and demand. They are set on the market.
Second we should spend that money on alternative energy sources. We will never be able to drill ourselves out of this mess. Our rate of consumption is just too high.Third, the only places to drill would be in earthquake ridden wast coast, the hurricane zone in the Caribbean (where the oil companies could start drilling tomorrow if they actually wanted to) or alaska where they would have to burn as much oil to get the oil so they net nothing.
It won't help the price of gasoline at the pump...the greedy money grabbers have already told us that...so if they drill and keep ripping us off, there no sense in saying whether I'm for it or against it, if it doesn't do anything for me and my family, I don't give a big lamb's butt what they do...and still they would do what they want to do anyway!
drill in Wyoming and Florida. In calif people dont want another disaster and our REPUBLICAN gov can beat up your Governor!!!!
Edit%26gt; jess, FYI China purchased a Canadian Oil Co drilling in Colorado! they promptly FIRED all american and canadian workers and imported their own ';coolie'; labor...... How do you like them apples.....
Drill everywhere. Build refineries, dump tons of money in renewable energy research, dump money into vehicle fuel efficiency research, go nuclear, do it all. Now. and a lovely side bonus - create tons of jobs in the USA.
We don't need it. And it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT lower the price of oil. The price is set globally and NO ONE in the USA has ever undercut OPEC oil prices.
We need to stop fueling cars with petrol, that's it.
I live on the Texas coast, offshore rigs are a part of the landscape, I have no problem with it.
The question should be if China can drill for oil off the shore of Florida than why the hell can't we.
I am for offshore oil drilling. They should have done it 10 years ago. My father worked for an oil company.
yes it won't change any thing if we have a corrupt gov.
for drilling offshore, ANWR, and oil shale.
Drill.
And Obama better figure it out, people want oil.

Why does Obama oppose offshore drilling for oil when over 2/3 of Americans support it?
Obama said he would listen to the ';will of the people'; yet he rejects this proposal and the 2/3 of Americans who support it.Why does Obama oppose offshore drilling for oil when over 2/3 of Americans support it?
Because he wants us to depend on foreign oil, it is part of his new world order. He thinks the price should be even higher to make us conserve, while he flies around in his plane %26amp; rides in the gas guzzling SUV...Do as I say, not as I do.
Boa how long will it take to come up with alternative fuels? 5yrs? 10 yrs? Your argument doesn't hold oil.Why does Obama oppose offshore drilling for oil when over 2/3 of Americans support it?
2/3 of Americans support it because they somehow believe it will bring immediate relief, even though that relief won't show at the pumps for at least a decade. You can drill all the oil you want, but where the hell are you going to refine it? We don't have a lot of refineries stateside. So without building some refineries first, what's the point of drilling more?
Besides, I would rather we moved to alternative fuels (hydrogen would be awesome) and remove our dependency on any oil - domestic and imported - once and for all.
What should a leader do ? Do what the majority say or go for what he thinks is right and convince citizens that his approach is better ? Offshore drilling will not lower the price of oil in the foreseeable future and will endanger the environment. It is in the best interest of the US to lower oil consumption, not increase oil supply. Remember, when many people are in favor of something not smart, it's still not smart.
Because he is not actually concerned with what the American people think. I have seen it as high as 78%. He just doesn't care. Neither do ANY of the Dems that are blocking the vote to drill. But here is a link supporting the 2/3rds that the questions asker sited. You Dems just refuse to believe it.
I'd like to hear his answer to that question, but I'm sure his answer would be some kind of rambling nonsensical double talk about where you got that information because that's not true, to his knowledge and blah, blah, blah. As long as he admits nothing and denies everything, the weenies of America will vote him into office because they feel sorry for him being a ';victim'; of the GOP.
I will always be a member of the political party that allows me to keep more of the money I earn and doesn't infringe on my rights as an American citizen.
Can you imagine just 50 years ago if the government tried to pass a law against certain restaurants? Government telling you what you can and can't eat!? Ridiculous! Yet, here we are.
The Commander and Chief is supposed to speak for his people, not for his own self interests. He works for us. We pay his salary and the salary of all other government employees. They are there to do OUR bidding and guess what, majority rules whether you like it or not.
Offshore drilling is intensely expensive, inefficient, and produces very little oil. Additionally, we wouldn't see the effects for 10 years or so.
So in 10 years, you'll be getting maybe one extra drop for every gallon you pour. Offshore drilling is an aggressively retarded idea
Because the people who control his 'donations' are firmly against any action that would lower gasoline prices and help poor and middle class Americans get by economically. Peloser and reed are agin, so BO has to follow along or risk the wrath of the far left dragons.
Mainly because he knows the facts. fact is, Big Oil companies already hold leases on 68,000,000 acres of land. 33,000,000 of these acres are off-shore leases. They have not drilled in any of this land. want proof? Wait until Congress starts considering the ';use it or lose it'; Bill to cancel leases on land thay are holding rights to but not using.
he has his own agenda. he is looking out for himself and his liberal democrat friends. they want our country to become a socialist society. sorry , but i want to continue to be responsible for me , and not have the government take care of me. i lose freedom if i allow them to take care of me. who wants to lose their freedom when so many people have fought for it !!!
Obama is like the weather in Oklahoma, if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes and it will change...this will be Obama's next ';refinement';.
2/3's of Americans?!?! Why don't you reference a more recent poll instead of one dated last month?
I am sure this 2/3 will be considerable less since oil speculation has decreased and the priceof oil are dropped.
Because he is a liberal and all liberals are hippies who would rather save a few sea creatures then perpetuate the existence of their own species.
Because Obama has already stated there is no short term solution for oil, drilling for oil won't bring a single drop until a decade later. He supports alternative fuels instead.
Because he wants us to depend on foreign oil, it is part of his new world order. He thinks the price should be even higher to make us conserve, while he flies around in his plane %26amp; rides in the gas guzzling SUV...Do as I say, not as I do.

2/3 of Americans support it because they somehow believe it will bring immediate relief, even though that relief won't show at the pumps for at least a decade. You can drill all the oil you want, but where the hell are you going to refine it? We don't have a lot of refineries stateside. So without building some refineries first, what's the point of drilling more?
Besides, I would rather we moved to alternative fuels (hydrogen would be awesome) and remove our dependency on any oil - domestic and imported - once and for all.
What should a leader do ? Do what the majority say or go for what he thinks is right and convince citizens that his approach is better ? Offshore drilling will not lower the price of oil in the foreseeable future and will endanger the environment. It is in the best interest of the US to lower oil consumption, not increase oil supply. Remember, when many people are in favor of something not smart, it's still not smart.
Because he is not actually concerned with what the American people think. I have seen it as high as 78%. He just doesn't care. Neither do ANY of the Dems that are blocking the vote to drill. But here is a link supporting the 2/3rds that the questions asker sited. You Dems just refuse to believe it.
I'd like to hear his answer to that question, but I'm sure his answer would be some kind of rambling nonsensical double talk about where you got that information because that's not true, to his knowledge and blah, blah, blah. As long as he admits nothing and denies everything, the weenies of America will vote him into office because they feel sorry for him being a ';victim'; of the GOP.
I will always be a member of the political party that allows me to keep more of the money I earn and doesn't infringe on my rights as an American citizen.
Can you imagine just 50 years ago if the government tried to pass a law against certain restaurants? Government telling you what you can and can't eat!? Ridiculous! Yet, here we are.
The Commander and Chief is supposed to speak for his people, not for his own self interests. He works for us. We pay his salary and the salary of all other government employees. They are there to do OUR bidding and guess what, majority rules whether you like it or not.
Offshore drilling is intensely expensive, inefficient, and produces very little oil. Additionally, we wouldn't see the effects for 10 years or so.
So in 10 years, you'll be getting maybe one extra drop for every gallon you pour. Offshore drilling is an aggressively retarded idea
Because the people who control his 'donations' are firmly against any action that would lower gasoline prices and help poor and middle class Americans get by economically. Peloser and reed are agin, so BO has to follow along or risk the wrath of the far left dragons.
Mainly because he knows the facts. fact is, Big Oil companies already hold leases on 68,000,000 acres of land. 33,000,000 of these acres are off-shore leases. They have not drilled in any of this land. want proof? Wait until Congress starts considering the ';use it or lose it'; Bill to cancel leases on land thay are holding rights to but not using.
he has his own agenda. he is looking out for himself and his liberal democrat friends. they want our country to become a socialist society. sorry , but i want to continue to be responsible for me , and not have the government take care of me. i lose freedom if i allow them to take care of me. who wants to lose their freedom when so many people have fought for it !!!
Obama is like the weather in Oklahoma, if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes and it will change...this will be Obama's next ';refinement';.
2/3's of Americans?!?! Why don't you reference a more recent poll instead of one dated last month?
I am sure this 2/3 will be considerable less since oil speculation has decreased and the priceof oil are dropped.
Because he is a liberal and all liberals are hippies who would rather save a few sea creatures then perpetuate the existence of their own species.
Because Obama has already stated there is no short term solution for oil, drilling for oil won't bring a single drop until a decade later. He supports alternative fuels instead.
Should we drill offshore/in alaska or reduce/eleminate dependence on foreign oil?
Do you think that we should drill for oil offshore or in the alaskan reserves or should we just invest more money on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. I am actually against ethanol because even though it is a renewable source, the corn that is used is causing more demand in the farming industry, causing milk and animal products to increase in price. So what you save on gas, you pay in groceries.Should we drill offshore/in alaska or reduce/eleminate dependence on foreign oil?
It's time this country became self-sufficient. We should drill for our own oil needs, or most of it anyway, AND we should also seriously consider alternative energy - wind and solar. The U.S. has vast land mass and the solar energy that this country could harness would make a lot of difference. Solar energy is renewable - we get sunlight EVERY DAY. Until the sun explodes into pieces, we will continue to get sunlight everyday.Should we drill offshore/in alaska or reduce/eleminate dependence on foreign oil?
I think this question really comes down to whether you think we need to reduce our need for foreign oil, or reduce our need for oil period.
Short term there is no way we're going to stop using oil - foreign or domestic. Any new drilling is going to take at least a few years to start producing oil. But if we invest that same money in flexible fuel vehicles, solar, wind, and other alternatives; we could go a long way in moving toward energy independence AND reduced emissions.
If we commit to more off-shore drilling and/or drilling in ANWR, it doesn't break our dependence on oil. If we instead spend money to ramp up our production of hybrid and electric cars, solar panels and wind generators, and bio diesel, then we can reduce our need for oil.
Good question.
First, I only partially agree with you on the ethanol. We are developing sources other than corn to produce it. When it can be made without effecting the food supply, then it will be a good renewable resource.
As far as drilling -vs- solar and wind, I say we should be doing it ALL - NOW! We need to invest in solar, wind, nuclear, and clean coal technologies to move us past the need for oil, but we need the oil to get us there and we need it NOW.
We should also drill in ANWR - the area needed is equivalent to a postage stamp on a football field. Damage to the environment would be minimal.
I strongly think we should be putting all of our effort into renewable energy. However, I think we should drill in the Alaskan Reserve and implement offshore drilling until we can fully become energy dependent.
LET AMERICA TAKE CARE OF AMERICA (AFTER ALL WE ARE THE MOST BLESSED AND PROSPEROUS COUNTRY IN THE WORLD)
Both.
An will everyone PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY??????
I have 7 solar panels on my house. Nobody else I know has any. I do not see any other homes with any. Stop the talk - and just do it.
Hope this helps

Does anyone have one good reason why we can't drill all the untapped oil in and offshore of the U S.?
The Democrats pass laws making it illegal.Does anyone have one good reason why we can't drill all the untapped oil in and offshore of the U S.?
Go right ahead. We'll start drilling in your backyard. We'll bring in ships, trucks, trains, tear up your land and all surrounding lands, and let you deal with the noise and massive pollution. Oh and don't forget your useless property values. Have fun.
I hope they don't have a spill there. That's gonna be rough when all of the wildlife is dead and all of the water is contaminated. But hey, you want cheaper gas right? So I guess it's worth it for you.Does anyone have one good reason why we can't drill all the untapped oil in and offshore of the U S.?
I don't agree with this personally. However, I have a theory that Democrats who are opposed to drilling here love high gas prices. They understand that when the price of gas rises, less people depend on it, and when less people depend on it, less gas is used and global warming ends!
Because then we'd be ruining the environment!! Does anyone have one good reason why we can't stop being so dependent on oil? There's SO many other, better options out there. Or, here's an idea, ride your bike!!
Because the Democrats in congress haven't allowed it for the past 30 years.
Because it would hurt the tourists and little fishey's
No

What offshore oil company's are the best to work for and hows the best way to apply for employment with them.
get experience on land first.
COASTER OFFSHORE OIL GAS COMPANY LTD IN UK?
It's a SCAM.
There is no such company.
UK employers have to be licenced by the Home Office to sponsor non EU workers and would need to prove that no suitably qualified person from the EU had applied for the job before offering it outside the EU. To comply with this would mean going through a rigorous and lengthy recruitment process and certainly no UK company would offer jobs via the internet or emails or phone. There are plenty of people looking for work in the UK, they do not need to recruit from abroad.
This is a scam designed to get you to pay fake fees to cover visa documentation. You will be asked to contact an agency who will ask you to send the money via Western Union. Once you send them money, they will come back and say that you have to pay a further fee. This will continue for as long as they can get money out of you, but you will NEVER get your visa and the job never existed.
The sponsoring employer always handles the documentation direct with the Home Office and travel agencies are neither equipped nor qualified to deal with visa or work permit documentation.
Do not respond to them - you will be put on a 'mugs list' and your details sold to other criminals.
Do not send them money - You will be helping to fund criminals and possibly terrorists.
Do not send money via Western Union to anyone you don't know personally. It's untraceable and irretrievable.
Do not give them any personal details - beware of identity theft or bank fraud. Your identity may also be used to commit further crimes against innocent people and this could cause you serious problems in the future.
Please let as many friends and colleagues as you can know about this and ask them to also pass it on.COASTER OFFSHORE OIL GAS COMPANY LTD IN UK?
Thanks a lot for you information about this company as i recently got their email and exactly they are telling me to fill up the form and send some documents for further process. If you do have any more information please send it to me at niyaznike@yahoo.com. Once again Thanks a lot.

Offshore Oil Drilling?
We need to let the coastal states keep control of their water ways and not let the oil companys drill offshore and polute the coast lines, beaches, etc. The Republicians are planning on opening up offshore drilling. Why don't those states have the right to choose? The people of this America need to tell our government to quit making our decisions without our say so.Offshore Oil Drilling?
Where have you been this past couple of months? The Cubans are going to start offshore drilling just about 50 miles off the Florida Coastline. The Cubans are getting their backing from the Chinese and from Venezuela.
The Washington Politicians are not about to let Cuba drill off the Florida coast and pollute the waters when they can let the oil companies that have bought and sold them drill off the Florida coast and pollute the waters.Offshore Oil Drilling?
It's not like they drill for oil on the edge of the beach. They go out acouple miles and its kind of hard to see them from shore.
florida senators Will fillibuster (even m. martinez), i live in fla, invest in ethanol, ive seen oil spills before, id rather walk
what more important oil right now or beaches we need the oil more than we need beaches.sorry am not a republican but i do agree with them on this .we need to start drilling for our own oil and not wait for some rouge country to black mail us with it .

Offshore oil rig computer jobs?
I was curious if anyone had some information for offshore IT jobs. I've search high and low on the web and still can't find any?Offshore oil rig computer jobs?
Look on http://www.oil-offshore-marine.com/ and http://www.rigzone.com/Offshore oil rig computer jobs?
There are some off the wall IT jobs offshore such as looking after the positioning computers for diving ships.
