Petrom Şi Exxon Confirmă: Au Descoperit În Marea Neagră Gaze Lumea petroliștilor este în fața unei mari schimbări: un gigant american este clasat acum în spatele unui proaspăt îmbogățit chinez. Exxon Mobile nu mai este cel mai mare producător de petrol listat la bursă. Pentru prima oară, distincția îi revine unei companii chineze care activează pe această piață de doar 13 ani, este vorba despre PetroChina. Compania cu sediul în Beijing a fost creată de guvernul chinez pentru a asigura necesarul de petrol pentru economia explozivă a țării, scrie Associated Press. PetroChina a anunțat joi că a pompat 2,4 milioane de barili pe zi anul trecut, depășind Exxon cu 100.000 de unități. Compania a crescut rapid în ultimii zece ani prin „stoarcerea“ câmpurilor de țiței chinez și achiziția mai multor rezerve petroliere în locuri precum Canada, Irak și Qatar. Producția companiei a crescut cu 3,3% în 2011, în timp ce cea a Exxon a scăzut cu 5%. Producția de petrol a Exxon este și în spatele gigantului energetic rusesc Rosneft. Creșterea PetroChina subliniază o diferență fundamentală a felului în care marile companii petroliere plănuiesc să alimenteze lumea, de vreme ce noi depozite sunt tot mai greu de găsit și tot mai scumpe de produs. Dar analiștii spun că firmele vestice, precum Exxon Mobil, au fost mai conservatoare decât cele chineze, fiind atente la rezultate și la veniturile investitorilor. Cu prețul petrolului în creștere cu 19% în 2011, acestea încă fac bani fără să fie nevoite să crească producția. PetroChina, pe de altă parte, are o misiune diferită. Guvernul chinez are o participație de 86% în companie și țara utilizează aproape fiecare strop pe care îl pompează PetroChina. Apetitul său pentru benzină și alte produse petroliere se estimează că se va dubla între 2010 și 2035. Chiar dacă PetroChina se poziționează în fruntea companiilor petroliere listate, este încă mult în spatele unor producători naționali precum Saudi Aramco, care produce aproape 8 milioane de barili pe zi. Iar Exxon este în continuare cea mai mare companie din energie listată la bursă dacă se combină producția de petrol cu cea de gaze naturale. PetroChina se plasează pe locul trei, după Exxon și BP, după producția totală de petrol și gaze naturale. PetroChina a crescut prin pomparea a tot ce a fost posibil din rezervele Chinei, care se estimează că dețin 6,5 mld. de barili. Acasă > Romania > Petrom şi Exxon confirmă: au descoperit în Marea Neagră gaze care ar acoperi până la de 6 ori consumul României Petrom şi Exxon confirmă: au descoperit în Marea Neagră gaze care ar acoperi până la de 6 ori consumul României februarie 22, 2012 blackjack Scrie un comentariu Mergi la comentarii. După ce în urmă cu două săptămâni anunţau prezenţa unor zăcăminte de gaze naturale în Marea Neagră, gigantul american ExxonMobil şi compania românească Petrom confirmă: 42-84 miliarde de metri cubi de gaze naturale estimate, care echivalează cu trei-şase ori consumul anual al României. Operaţiunile de foraj derulate de cele două companii în Marea Neagră au început la sfârşitul anului 2011 şi sunt pe cale să fie finalizate, se arată într-un comunicat transmis de OMV Petrom. Zăcământul a fost descoperit în urma forării puţului Domino-1 de către ExxonMobil, prima operaţiune la mare adâncime în largul ţărmului românesc, cu o adâncile de peste 3.000 de metri. Domino-1 este amplasat în Blocul Neptun, la 170 de kilometri de ţărm, în ape cu o adâncime de aproximativ 930 de metri. Forajul va fi executat de către vasul ultramodern de clasă mondială Deepwater Champion, care a sosit recent în apele româneşti special pentru acest proiect, după finalizarea programului de foraj derulat de Exxon în apele turceşti. Oficialii companiilor susţin însă că este prea devreme pentru a se preciza dacă aceste zăcăminte sunt sau nu comerciale. “ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania Limited, afiliată ExxonMobil corporation, şi OMV Petrom SA, subsidiară a grupului OMV, confirmă o potenţială descoperire semnificativă în largul ţărmului României (…) Este prea devreme în procesul de evaluare şi explorare pentru a determina dacă blocul Neptun se va dovedi în final exploatabil comercial sau nu. Totuşi, dacă viitoarele lucrări vor confirma fezabilitatea tehnică şi comercială a producţiei de gaze naturale la mare adâncime în blocul Neptun, viitoarele investiţii în fazele de explorare şi dezvoltare ar putea ajunge la câteva miliarde de dolari, iar prima extragere ar putea avea loc cel mai devreme spre sfârşitul deceniului”, se spune în comunicat. ExxonMobil şi OMV Petrom intenţionează să continue lucrările în acest an, rezutatele achiziţiei de date seismice urmând să determine următoarele etape, notează companiile. În urmă cu două săptămâni, o delegaţie a Exxon şi Petrom a fost primită la Cotroceni de preşedintele Traian Băsescu. Acesta le-a spus investitorilor că noile descoperiri sunt importante, în contextul în care acum România este nevoită să suplimenteze importurile de gaze din Rusia, din cauza gerului, la preţuri foarte mari. Premieră absolută pentru sectorul petrolier românesc Aceasta este o premieră absolută pentru sectorul petrolier românesc, întrucât, până acum, forajul pe platoul continental s-a făcut doar la adâncimi mici, de câteva zeci de metri, iar acum este vorba de o adâncime de apei de aproximativ 1.000 de metri. Sursa:adevarul.ro our history Over the last 125 years ExxonMobil has evolved from a regional marketer of kerosene in the U.S. to the largest publicly traded petroleum and petrochemical enterprise in the world. Today we operate in most of the world's countries and are best known by our familiar brand names: Exxon, Esso and Mobil. We make the products that drive modern transportation, power cities, lubricate industry and provide petrochemical building blocks that lead to thousands of consumer goods. The colonel's discovery triggers an oil boom that parallels the gold rush of a decade earlier. 1859 Colonel Edwin Drake and Uncle Billy Smith drill the first successful oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The name Standard is chosen to signify high, uniform quality. 1870 Rockefeller and his associates form the Standard Oil Company (Ohio), with combined facilities constituting the largest refining capacity of any single firm in the world. Matthew Ewing and Hiram Bond Everest founded Vacuum Oil Company in 1866 upon patenting a new method of distilling kerosene in a vacuum that produced a high-quality lubricant. 1879 Standard Oil Co. purchases a three-quarters interest in Vacuum Oil Company for $200,000. As a lubricants pioneer, Vacuum Oil introduces a number of popular products, including the revolutionary Gargoyle 600-W Steam Cylinder Oil. 1882 Standard Oil lubricates Thomas Edison's first central generating system. Also in this year, Standard Oil Trust forms to include the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (Jersey Standard) and the Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony). 1885 The Standard Oil Trust moves its headquarters to 26 Broadway, New York City. The nine- story office building becomes a landmark. The same year, Vacuum develops Gargoyle Arctic engine oils for newly designed generators and motors that operate at speeds of up to 1,000 rpm. 1903 The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orvillle, use both Jersey Standard fuel and Mobiloil (Vacuum) lubricants for their historic first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. 1906 Socony gains a strong foothold in the vast market for kerosene in China by developing small lamps that burned kerosene efficiently. The lamps become known as Mei-Foo, from the Chinese symbols for Socony, meaning "beautiful confidence." 1911 Following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, Standard Oil breaks up into 34 unrelated companies, including Jersey Standard, Socony and Vacuum Oil. The year also marks the first time Jersey Standard's sales of kerosene are surpassed by gasoline, a product that in the early days had often been discarded as a nuisance. 1915 Ralph De Palma, winner of the Indianapolis 500, is the first of many Indy winners to use Mobil products. His average speed: 89.84 mph. 1919 Jersey Standard acquires a 50 percent interest in Humble Oil & Refining Company of Texas. It was during this year that Humble, led by its pioneering Chief Geologist Wallace Pratt, employed micropaleontology, the study of microscopic fossils contained in cuttings and core samples from drilling, as an aid in finding oil. 1920 Jersey Standard researchers produce rubbing alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol — the first commercial petrochemical. 1926 Embodying the phonetic rendition of the initials ‘S’ and ‘O’ in Standard Oil, Jersey Standard brings out a new blend of fuel under the trade name Esso. This field is the first in the U.S. to be discovered by using the technique of seismic surveying, and the first fairly deep salt dome to be discovered by the use of geophysical instruments. 1927 Humble geophysicists use a refraction seismograph and discover an oil field in Sugarland, Texas. 1928 Amelia Earhart uses Mobiloil to protect Friendship when she makes her historic solo flight across the Atlantic. The previous year, Charles Lindbergh used Mobiloil in the Spirit of St. Louis on the first solo flight across the Atlantic. 1936 First commercial unit in a cat-cracking refinery begins operation at Socony-Vacuum’s Paulsboro, New Jersey, refinery. The unit used a process developed by French scientist Eugene P. Houdry with the financial backing of Socony-Vacuum. The process added a clay-like catalyst to the cracking process to boost gasoline yields and octane rating. 1937 Jersey Standard researchers produce an artificial rubber, butyl. Today, butyl is used in the creation of tires, surgical tapes, protective coatings and more. 1938 The world's first commercial production of alkylate begins at a Humble plant in Baytown, Texas. Alkylation made possible the manufacturing of iso-octane, used as a blending agent to produce 100- octane aviation gasoline. 1942 The world’s first fluid catalytic cracker goes onstream at Louisiana Standard’s Baton Rouge refinery.

RUUD3 1University of California, San Diego, USA; 2Clark University, USA; 3University of California, Berkeley, USA; 4Resources for the Future, USA; 5University of Maryland, USA Accepted 31 March 2003 Abstract. We report on the results of a large-scale contingent valuation (CV) study conducted after the Exxon Valdez oil spill to assess the harm caused by it. Among the issues considered are the design features of the CV survey, its administration to a national sample of U.S. households, estimation of household willingness to pay to prevent another Exxon Valdez type oil spill, and issues related to reliability and validity of the estimates obtained. Events influenced by the study’s release are also briefly discussed. Key words: natural resource damage assessment JEL classification: Q26 1.
