A visit to Subir Raha Oil Museum at ONGC‚ Dehradun By Kevin P Joseph (MBA-ET : 500026236) As a part of the curriculum of the programs offered at UPES‚ the students of first semester MBA Energy Trading and MBA Oil & Gas were taken to Subir Raha Oil Museum‚ ONGC in Dehradun. Being the students of the petroleum industry‚ this visit gave us a rich and holistic picture about how oil it is created in the nature‚ how various methods are used to detected it‚ the various challenges which the industry

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill The largest marine oil spill in United States history began on April 20‚ 2010‚ with an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon offshore oilrig in the Gulf of Mexico. Millions of barrels of oil flowed into the water over the next 87 days‚ much of which washed up on shore along the Gulf coast region of the United States and Mexico. The accident was the result of numerous shortcuts undertaken by BP‚ and resulted in both environmental destruction and legal action. The events

Fracking Essay Hydraulic fracturing also known as “Fracking” is a process where gas and oils are being released from some underground formations that are too difficult to mine on. Fluid made up of 8 millimeters of water‚ a lot of sand and about 200‚000 liters of chemicals are inserted into a deeply drilled spot at a high pressure to break the shale rock and to release natural gases. The sand keeps the holes from closing and the chemicals compress the water‚ kill off bacteria and dissolve the minerals

pressures to blast open shale rock and release the trapped gas inside. The process of fracking starts with drilling a hole deep in the earth’s surface until it reaches natural gas. From there they can start the operation and retrieve the natural gas. Oil and gas companies that use fracking state that it is very safe and does not harm the environment. On the other

Oil has been a vital part of everyday life for decades. It is our main source of fuel in automobiles and other machinery. Oil has its benefits‚ but people seem to ignore the process of acquiring oil. Oil drilling is a dangerous and risky process. It runs the risk of contaminating the surrounding water and harming the organisms that live in it. The process also emits large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill‚ better known as the BP oil spill‚ was a prime

resource in the U.S. Fracking fluid contains water‚ salt‚ sand‚ and hazardous industrial chemicals. This fluid is injected at high pressure underground into geologic formations. The salty water‚ sand‚ and chemical mixture forces natural gas up through the well bore to the surface for collection through pipelines. It is currently being used in the U.S. in the states of North Dakota‚ Pennsylvania‚ New York‚ Texas‚ and Louisiana. As for Europe it is being used primarily in central Europe going eastward and

Oil Drilling Have you ever seen an animal covered in sludge‚ helpless and weak? Offshore oil drilling is one of our world’s biggest concerns. Offshore oil drilling is the discovery of finding oil or gasoline resources underwater. Usually the oil is found off the coasts of each continent and can also be found in lakes and small seas. Drilling for oil provides the energy to make fuels for cars and other machinery. Many different platforms can be used for offshore oil drilling such as drill ships
