Many local residents and businesses throughout the coastal communities in Rayong suffered economic loss largely due to damages to natural resources; however, under the existing legal regime, there is no effective comprehensive legal framework that directly and adequately regulates the compensation regimes that handle claims of economic-loss following an oil-spill incident. Equally, as an alternative to litigation, there is no adequate guidance for the regimes handling rapid compensation payments for such type of claims. In the aftermath of the Rayong Spill, the responsible bodies developed the out-of-court compensation program on the fly, struggling to find a proper way to respond to this unprecedented disaster—yet this response was so haphazard that it left some claimants without clear rights to compensation, or, conceivably, it even left them with unfair levels of compensation.

  • Deepwater Gulf of Mexico 2007: Interim Report of 2006 Highlights
    ON COVER—Graphic representation of Independence Hub. OCS Report MMS 2007-021 Deepwater Gulf of Mexico 2007: Interim Report of 2006 Highlights Authors Robert H. Peterson G. Ed Richardson Christy M. Bohannon Eric G. Kazanis Tara M. Montgomery Lesley D. Nixon Mike P. Gravois Gregory D. Klocek U.S. Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service New Orleans Gulf of Mexico OCS Region May 2007 PREFACE This is the seventh publication that the Minerals Management Service (MMS) has released chronicling the levels of deepwater exploration, development, and production activities in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). This past year has seen significant advances in exploration and development. In 2006, twelve new deepwater discoveries were announced by industry as a result of ambitious exploration programs. These discoveries are estimated to add approximately 1.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) to the GOM reserves base. Some of these discoveries were located in the new Lower Tertiary trend, where large oil and gas volumes have been encountered, but have only been lightly tested. The first sustained well test in the trend, the Jack 2 well, occurred last year and its results are being carefully analyzed. Data from this test were highly publicized and are very encouraging; however, many questions remain to be answered before it is determined whether the hydrocarbon resources throughout the trend will be economically recoverable. Over the next few years, it is anticipated that one or more fields will be producing from this large deepwater trend. Deepwater production has continued to be a very important part of the total GOM production, providing 70 percent of the oil and 40 percent of the gas in the region.

  • Imagining the Age of Oil: Case Studies in British Petrocultures, 1865-1935
    Imagining the Age of Oil: Case Studies in British Petrocultures, 1865-1935 by Ian Wereley A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Ian Wereley Abstract This dissertation investigates the cultural history of oil in Britain over a seventy- year period, between 1865 and 1935. While much has been written about the economic, political, diplomatic, geopolitical, and military aspects of oil during this timeframe, there have been few investigations into the ways that cultural factors have shaped the history of oil in Britain, a gap in the literature that this study seeks to fill. Britain was one of the first industrialized nations to make the transition to oil and in the period under consideration, everyday consumption of the commodity increased dramatically, especially in the cities, where new oil technologies for heating, illumination, and transportation became commonplace conveniences. Using understudied sources such as public lectures, cartoons, advertisements, exhibitions, and architecture, the dissertation examines the discourses of transition that were created to help Britons navigate their changing energy landscapes. It maps the complexities, opportunities, and impasses that accompanied the historical rise of oil in Britain during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and argues that the system of things that brought oil from the wellhead to the consumer was predicated on a vast constellation of ideas. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation is the product of a long and complicated journey that would not have been possible without the guidance and support of several individuals who, in one way or another, extended their valuable assistance in the preparation of this study.

    THE GULF OIL DISASTER Chief Counsel’s Report | 2011 National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill And Offshore Drilling | Report to the President Chief Counsel’s Report — Acknowledgments | i Acknowledgments irst and foremost, we thank the Commission and its co-chairs, William Reilly and Senator Bob Graham, for supporting our investigation throughout. We also thank the Commission‘s executive director, Richard Lazarus, for his F extraordinary leadership. Richard Sears, the Commission‘s senior science and engineering advisor, was an integral part of our team from the very beginning. We relied heavily on his considerable technical expertise as well as his deep understanding of industry business practices and culture. On the rare instances in which Richard could not answer a question himself, he summoned support from the broad network of industry professionals he created over his 33 years at Shell. Many individuals involved in the Macondo incident spoke with us voluntarily. They included rig crew members, cementers, mudloggers, equipment suppliers, and shore-based engineers. Notably, many members of BP‘s Macondo well team met repeatedly with us to explain the chain of events that led to the blowout. BP also released a report of its own nonprivileged investigation of the blowout, and then provided us access to supporting documents. While BP‘s report differs from ours in scope, purpose, and conclusions, it aided our efforts, and we commend BP for undertaking it. Transocean graciously invited us to visit one of its deepwater drilling rigs to appreciate firsthand the scale and complexity of its operations.
