With politicians in DC reporting 10,000 gallons a day oil spill BHP,why no fire booms available for use?

admin — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:06:14 +0000

was it cause mss Palin is in charge of the Booms and she has them in Alaska!!!!
united earth oceans von dino
thats the breaks
COD whats this 200,000 barrels a day crap DC SAID 10,000 and NO to fire booms

No DC did not say no to fire booms. In 1994, a plan for such a disaster was developed. The govt failed to purchase the booms and have them on hand. They failed to be ready for their own plan!

Day 56… Why are shrimp boats towing makeshift oil booms behind them Obama’s BEST response to oil cleanup?

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:04:25 +0000

When specially construed oil skimmers have been offered by countries from day 3???

When the admiral on sight said on June 2 that oil skimmers are the best thing to have??

Where were they on Day 10? Day 20? Day 30? Day 40? Day 50? will they be near the gulf on Day 60?

Obama… The sit ON IT FROM DAY ONE and spin President…

I just watched his speech on CNN and his attempt to "get out in front of this" is still proof that he is playing catch up. He just needs to admit that he wasn’t informed as he should have been but now by playing catch up we need to put even more effort into the clean up and containment process and use "all" the help that is currently available, including foreign help.

career choice. oil?

I have an Associates in Liberal Arts. I have been a repo man, a fire fighter, a commercial diver and have finally setteled ( in my mid 30’s) on the oil business in Texas and abroad. At the moment I am a derrick man on an oil rig making really good money with excellent opportunity to advance. My question is, being too old to keep changing trades : Is the Oil Business in America going to keep booming for the next 20 years or so?

my guess is that, as long as we choose to drive automobiles powered by gasoline, we’ll have a need for oil….

How to calculate the wind drag force?

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:38:57 +0000

Here is the question:
A flare boom is used to burn toxic gases on oil platforms. The maximum wind expected for the location of the platform during the life of the platform is 150 knots. If the cylindrical boom is 100 ft long and 1 ft in diameter, what will be the wind drag force on the boom during design wind conditions? Density of air is 0.075 lbm/ft^3 and viscosity is 0.1224E-4 lbm/sec ft. How do you do this problem?

the equation is in here

will oil prices boom up again any time soon?

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 21:38:29 +0000

I work on a work-over rig and wanted some expert advise if whether the oil will boom up again to keep all exploration and production running like in past years.

Yes, for the simple reason that oil is denominated in dollars and the US dollar is being inflated. That doesn’t mean the "real" price will necessarily increase, though.

In which industries are lots of senior/executive level IT professionals needed?

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:39:48 +0000

Typical roles I am talking about are senior developers, deevelopment and QA managers, Chieft Technical Officers, etc.

Do the currently booming growth sectors like energy (oil, gaes, etc), and mining / raw materials have a major need for senior/exec IT professioansl?

The banking sector employees some of the largest number of IT professionals, although a large proportion of these are unlikely to be based in the country where their software/security etc is actually used.

For example, the worlds biggest bank (HSBC, according to Forbes Top 1000 Global Banks) employs more software developers than Microsoft. Alot of the work is done in countries like China and India for the banks operations throughout the entire world, however there are still many hunderds of jobs in local sites, particularly the more high paid ones.
