No year in recent history has held greater expectations than 2021. We all hope to put the pandemic behind us and get back to normal. The year began with a new President in the White House and multiple vaccines already starting to be distributed. As the quarter progressed, we made significant strides towards vaccinating the most vulnerable. While we are moving closer to a return to normalcy as the availability of vaccines continues to grow, new COVID-19 variants threaten to slow progress. The economy continued to show signs of recovering as employers added more jobs in the first quarter and the unemployment rate declined to 6.0%. In February, consumer sentiment rose to its highest level since March 2020, when the COVID-19 shutdowns were just beginning. Over the past year, household savings have grown significantly and should begin to flow through the Energy was the best economy as it reopens. performing sector in the S&P 500 as oil prices The passage of a $1.9 trillion stimulus package and a rebounded. commitment of continued support from the Federal Reserve helped drive the stock market higher in the first quarter.

Manual drilling technologies have the potential to enhance water access by providing a low cost drinking water alternative for communities in low and middle income countries. This paper provides an overview of the main successes and challenges experienced by manual boreholes in the last two decades. A review of the existing methods is provided, discussing their advantages and disadvantages and comparing their potential against alternatives such as excavated wells and mechanized boreholes. Manual boreholes are found to be a competitive solution in relatively soft rocks, such as unconsolidated sediments and weathered materials, as well as and in hydrogeological settings characterized by moderately shallow water tables. Ensuring professional workmanship, the development of regulatory frameworks, protection against groundwater pollution and standards for quality assurance rank among the main challenges for the future.

  • Enterprise Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry: an Analysis of Selected Fortune 500 Oil and Gas Companies’ Reaction in 2009 and 2010 Violet C
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Clute Institute: Journals American Journal of Business Education – First Quarter 2016 Volume 9, Number 1 Enterprise Risk Management In The Oil And Gas Industry: An Analysis Of Selected Fortune 500 Oil And Gas Companies’ Reaction In 2009 And 2010 Violet C. Rogers, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA Jack R. Ethridge, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA ABSTRACT1 In 2009, four of the top ten Fortune 500 companies were classified within the oil and gas industry. Organizations of this size typically have an advanced Enterprise Risk Management system in place to mitigate risk and to achieve their corporations’ objectives. The companies and the article utilize the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) as a guide to organize their risk management and reporting. The authors used the framework to analyze reporting years 2009 and 2010 for Fortune 500 oil and gas companies. After gathering and examining information from 2009 and 2010 annual reports, 10-K filings, and proxy statements, the article examines how the selected companies are implementing requirements identified in the previously mentioned publications. Each section examines the companies’ Enterprise Risk Management system, risk appetite, and any other notable information regarding risk management. One observation was the existence or non-existence of a Chief Risk Officer or other Senior Level Manager in charge of risk management. Other observations included identified risks, such as changes in economic, regulatory, and political environments in the different countries where the corporations do business.
