    Environmental degradation is one of the largest threats the human population is facing today. However, most individuals in society seem to just tweet and Facebook about the growing environmental issues, instead of taking any real initiative. Most of society has become completely oblivious of the activities carried out by oil companies, whom have caused the most severe damage to our environment. In, “Fuel the Machines,” Jossie Malis nicely depicts the environmental consequences produced by the fuel industry. Throughout the animated clip, we see that the ocean water is polluted with trash, machinery parts, carcasses’ and ultimately oil. There is a seen with a toxic substance spewing out of an oil pipe that instantly disintegrates a seahorse. There is a whole scene where there is line of pump jacks spanning across an entire field.

    Fossil fuels are hydrocarbon deposits derived from the remains of ancient plants and animals under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. Oil, or petroleum, is one of the most common fossil fuels utilized by people all over the world on a daily basis. Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-black, viscous liquid composed of mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, which is found in underground reservoirs. Oil is nonrenewable which means once it 's extracted from the earth, it takes thousands of years to replace. It has been an abundant resource for many years, but it has the potential to run out because it takes so long for it to replenish (Moan & Smith, 2013). The United States produces 11% of the world 's total petroleum. It 's obtained by drilling into rock layers and extracting the oil deposits from them. A derrick must be built to hold the necessary tools and pipes to carry the oil. Then, it 's sent to a refinery where it is separated by density in distillation towers, converted into lighter hydrocarbon molecules, treated, and stored in tanks and sent out in pipelines. Oil can be made into usable petroleum products, such as diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, ink, crayons, or even tires; however, oil is used mainly for transportation purposes (gasoline and jet fuel are the most common). Although oil does give certain advantages to everyday life, it has a negative environmental impact. When oil is burned, carbon dioxide can be emitted. Carbon dioxide is the leading cause of global warming. Oil affects biodiversity because the harmful emissions of smoke and other gases when it 's being burned is harmful to plants and animals living in water and on land, including humans. Respiratory illnesses and heart diseases are just two of the possible effects of being around highly polluted areas, especially in children and the elderly ("Oil (petroleum),"…

    The case titled “ExxonMobil and the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline”, examines two large oil businesses merging together to finish an immense development project which spanned for approximately 25 to 30 years. In 1998, both Exxon and Mobil both respectively saw great success as major companies at the time with each company performing multi-billion dollar operations. In 1997 Exxon was achieving a large net income of $8.5 billion with revenues soaring as high as $137.2 billion, achieved a “AAA” debt rating, and also shelling out 5.4 million barrels of gasoline on a daily basis for huge profits. In contrast, Mobil thrived by building a strong reputation as well. The company saw revenues of $65 billion and achieved a net income of $3.3 billion; shelling out 3.3 million barrels of gasoline daily. In 1996, Shell, Elf and ExxonMobil signed a memorandum with the Chadian and Cameroonian governments which provided the sanctioning of a project which involved oil drilling for roughly 25-30 years. Their vision was to expand oil fields in the southern region of Chad by hauling out 300 wells of oil in the Doba Basin and as well building a 650-mile underground pipeline channel from Chad to Cameroon due to Chad being landlocked. The pipeline would move the oil to the coastline of Cameroon and be transported off to various parts of the world. The price of the development was $3.5 billion generating one billion barrels of oil. According to the World Bank, they approximated that the development would produce $2 billion for Chad, $500 million for Cameroon, and $5.7 billion for ExxonMobil and its associates. Ironically, the union of ExxonMobil was reminiscent of John Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company which split apart in 1911 when the antitrust powers that be forced them to divide into two separate…

    Do you remember in 2010 when every news station and every newspaper across the country had a headline about the BP oil spill? Do you think if America would have started converting to another resource such as wind, this would’ve still happened? Are oil and oil based products are taking over the economy? Think about everything you used today that uses or is made with oil such as gas, plastic, ink, and tires. Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than 250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each! However, oil brings in 331 billion dollars annually to the United States. There are some “go-green” advocates that think we can live without oil and we should move to renewable resources. Renewable energy sources are reputed to be more efficient in positively impacting the environment. Nevertheless, there are…

I was working in Well Testing Department and it is a great experience for me. I got the chance to learn more about technical knowledge and technology used in the current Oil and Gas Industry. When I was in final year of my study, I had the chance to demonstrate my research abilities by conducting my degree thesis entitled ‘Drilling Mud Filter Cakes Degradation Using Pullulanase Enzyme’. This thesis was a great project due to the fact that I had to study the behavior of an enzyme and also the reservoir environment near the wellbore. I had to design the treatment solution to remove the mud cake in the wellbore to increase the reservoir production. In addition, this project was funded by Exxon Mobile. As a result of working on my thesis, I have not only gained valuable knowledge and confident in my technical skills but also an important experience working in the lab.

    The economy is affected by many factors that determine if it is strong or weak. These factors have to do with buyers consuming goods and services and at what rate they do this. Do the goods and services that are consumed by people created wealth, jobs and a better overall economy for a country. Throughout history some economies have evolved faster and stronger than others.

Of the factors that affect economic growth the industry of Oil and gas is one that holds a stronghold in the world's and America's economy today. When evaluating the economic growth factor of economy and specifically oil and gas on must consider the following questions: ¨ What relationship does the factor have with the whole economy? ¨ How does this factor affect economic growth ¨ Is the factor a cause or effect of economic growth? ¨ what would the economy be like if there were significant problems with this factor? ¨ What relation does a central bank have to this factor? I will answer each of these questions in respect to how economy is affected by oil and gas. The economy in the United States today is greatly affected by oil and gas. When there are large reserves and an increase of active drills in respect to oil, the economy seems to receive a boost. This is because prices for such things like gas and oil fall and people are able to consume more gas at a lower price. There is more supply and prices fall, therefore people save money on gas and can consume other items in the economy. People working in these industries have more job openings and more jobs filled, therefore creating a lower unemployment rate and a higher national per capita income. The need for substitutes are not there so, consumers will consume oil and gas at a growing rate. Since, people use oil and gas for so many different things like heating there homes,…
