obama allows Brazil to drill in the gulf never mind about the ban

[sitarro]

this is just an obama bitch fest AS USUAL, get used to it eric....never anything of substance....just whine whine whine and whine.

Word here in oil country is that 13,000 high paying oil field jobs are gone due to his policies, probably wants to get some union slack offs down here........ screw that punk and his idiot cabinet.

Got a source for that 13,000 job figure?

Funny which part of the Oil Patch? Upstream, Midstream or Downstream?

News from Houston is the the jobs are up in the sector despite the 33 drilling projects that have been shut down in the Gulf.

[sinister59]

First, the Brasilian have discovered oil off their own coast not in America's gulf coast waters. Second, by using the U.S. Export-Import Bank the President indeed ensures Americans and American companies are involved in the new finds. That means more jobs for Americans.

US Production of crude oil has increases and the 33 deep water wells in the Gulf currently under being held up for safety concerns has not stopped the rig count and producing well count from increasing.

so

We shouldnt have to be drilling that deep in the first place but who's keeping count

Just more CON$ervative stupidity.

Oil companies would not be drilling in deep water if there was easier and cheaper oil to be had in shallow water. Oil companies always think about the bottom line. They are not as stupid as CON$ and would not be investing in the more expensive deep water operations if easier and cheaper oil was readily available in the shallow water. They have already tapped nearly all the easy oil in the shallows. The only place where significant oil remains to be found is in deep water.

There is almost no debating a mental midget such as yourself, but here goes:

Why are we drilling in 5,000 feet of water in the first place?

As production from the shallower Gulf of Mexico wells declines, we go deep (1,000 feet and more) and ultra deep (5,000 feet and more),because environmentalists have succeeded in rendering the Pacific and nearly all the Atlantic coast off-limits to oil production.

And of course, in the safest of all places, on land, we've had a 30-year ban on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. So we go deep, ultradeep — to such a technological frontier that no precedent exists for the April 20 blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.

http://www.instituteforenergyresear...ason-Economic_Cost_of_Offshore_Moratorium.pdf

At least 13,000 jobs have been lost since last summer’s moratorium on offshore oil production, surpassing projected job losses in a 2010 study by thousands, according to the Louisiana State University professor who authored the study.

Joseph Mason, author of “The Economic Cost of a Moratorium on Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration to the Gulf Region,” estimated that the new regional job losses due to the moratorium on offshore oil production in the Gulf region is now 13,000 – up from his original estimate of 8,000.

Mason also estimated the national job losses to have increased from 12,000 to 19,000; regional wage losses to be $800 million, up from $500 million; national wage losses to be $1.1 billion, up from $700 million; lost tax revenues on the state and local level to be $155 million, up from $100 million; and lost tax revenues on the national level to be $350 million, up from $200 million.

A perfect lesson on how CON$ lie. When caught lying as above, CON$ just keep on lying.

You've already admitted the Brazil permit was the SECOND, the first went to an AMERICAN oil company. So did the 3rd and 4th!!!!!!!

Who has been issued a 3rd and 4th drilling permit? What companies with a source, other than your opinion.

This is a perfect example of why GOP hate radio is so confident in lying to CON$. They know that CON$ are too lazy to research anything for themselves. You could easily google the answer for yourself, but as a CON$ervative you demand someone else do the work for you, even though you provided no back up for your lie that permits were not given to American oil companies when the first permit went to an American oil company and you admitted the Brazil permit was the SECOND. You should have required YOURSELF to prove that the FIRST permit went to a foreign oil company before you decided to lie in public.

Exxon Mobil lands a permit for deep Gulf drilling | Business | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON — The government on Tuesday gave Exxon Mobil Corp. approval to drill a new Gulf of Mexico oil well that had been blocked by last year's ban on some deep-water drilling.
It is the fourth deep-water well of its kind to be approved since that moratorium was lifted in October, and the first that will rely on equipment from the Houston-based Marine Well Containment Co. to respond to any blowout at the site.
The permit allows Exxon Mobil to drill a well in 6,941 feet of water in the company's Hadrian North field about 240 miles from the Louisiana coast.


Exxon Mobil was close to launching drilling at the site before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill at BP's Macondo well last April. Exxon Mobil already had secured a permit to drill and had a rig on location when the work was suspended under the administration's ban.
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement that issued the permit has focused on restarting 57 deep-water drilling projects that were approved before last year's spill, including 16 where drilling had already begun.
The three other deep- water projects approved since Feb. 28 - for operators Noble Energy, BHP Billiton and ATP Oil & Gas - were among those 16.
The ocean energy bureau did not subject the Exxon Mobil project to heightened environmental scrutiny because it had been approved before the ban. By contrast, newly proposed drilling - like three deep-water wells in a Shell Oil Co. offshore exploration plan approved on Monday - is undergoing environmental assessments by the agency.
Exxon Mobil said in a prepared statement that it supports the agency's "efforts to restart safe drilling in the Gulf of Mexico so that tens of thousands of Americans can return to work."
To win the permit, Exxon Mobil had to prove to regulators it could swiftly control any blowout at the site by using the Marine Well Containment Co.'s capping stack and other equipment.
The Marine Well Containment Co.'s current suite of equipment is designed to contain up to 60,000 barrels per day in wells in water up to 8,000 feet deep, but an expanded system under development could be used in up to 10,000 feet of water.
Exxon Mobil was one of the major oil companies - along with Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillips - that formed the MWCC after last year's spill. Others have joined since.
A separate organization, Helix Well Containment Group, also has developed a subsea well containment system.
Twenty-two deep-water oil and gas operators have contracted to use the Helix system in case of an emergency - including the three besides Exxon Mobil that have obtained permits since Feb. 28.
Michael Bromwich, the ocean energy bureau director, noted that the pace of approving deep-water projects had sped up in recent weeks, "since the industry confirmed its capability to contain a deep-water loss of well control and blowout."

Well congratulation you got your source yesterday. Dates 3/22/11

So much for obama wanting America to be independent of foreign oil.

what band ? you really think there no other rig in the golf , their finding oil of the cost of Louisiana now .
whats wrong with you ?

Exxon was given a permit yesterday, so wqhat the fuck is wrong with you.

[edthecynic]

You know, I keep going back to what a poster pointed out VERY early in this thread:

Unless they're drilling within 30 miles of shore, they don't need Obama's blessing, or ours.

We don't own the Gulf. Never have, and never will.

Yep.

The Chinese are slant drilling for the oil of the coast of FL as well. They are in international waters so theres nothing we can do about it.

Of course we could drill ourselves but hey, thats not on OL'BO's agenda.

It ain't green.

Not this GOP scripted lie again!!! Just more proof that CON$ervative lies never die.

 

[edthecynic]

I see you are embellishing the story a bit. Brazil is not seeking to drill in the gulf. The proposed drilling is in the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. It is not in the Gulf.

US regulators approve Petrobras plans to bring first FPSO to the Gulf of Mexico
______________________________________________________________________________
(Rio de Janeiro, December 11, 2006). – PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S/A - PETROBRAS,
[Bovespa: PETR3/PETR4, NYSE: PBR/PBRA, Latibex: XPBR/XPBRA, BCBA: APBR/APBRA],
a Brazilian international energy company, announces that, its Conceptual Plan for the subsea
development of Cascade and Chinook fields has received approval from the United States
Minerals Management Service (MMS). It is the first approval at this level of a plan that includes
the deployment of a Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility in the Gulf of
Mexico. MMS is an agency of the United States Government that manages the natural gas, oil
and other mineral resources on the outer continental shelf (OCS).

The application of new Petrobras technologies will allow a fast tracked, development approach,
with start of oil production scheduled for 2009. Petrobras has an extensive experience in the
use of FPSO since 1979, with fifteen units currently under operation offshore Brazil, and
another nine under construction to be deployed in that area. The proposed solution has a
proven track record of improving the capabilities of developing oil and gas reserves in deep and
ultra deep water environments.

Petrobras has proposed the use of six technologies which are new to the US Gulf of Mexico
including a disconnectable turret buoy allowing the FPSO to move offsite during hurricanes and
severe weather, crude transportation via shuttle tanker, free-standing hybrid risers, subsea
electric submersible pumps, torpedo pile vertical loaded anchors and polyester mooring
systems.

The plan consists of the installation and operation of a FPSO vessel in approximately 8,200 feet
of water. The plan provides for at least two subsea wells in Cascade and one subsea well in
Chinook, each drilled to an approximate depth of 27,000 feet and to be tied back to the FPSO.

Exxon Mobil was one of the major oil companies - along with Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillips - that formed the MWCC after last year's spill. Others have joined since.
A separate organization, Helix Well Containment Group, also has developed a subsea well containment system.
Twenty-two deep-water oil and gas operators have contracted to use the Helix system in case of an emergency - including the three besides Exxon Mobil that have obtained permits since Feb. 28.
Michael Bromwich, the ocean energy bureau director, noted that the pace of approving deep-water projects had sped up in recent weeks, "since the industry confirmed its capability to contain a deep-water loss of well control and blowout."

Well congratulation you got your source yesterday. Dates 3/22/11

You asked for the names of the 3rd and 4th permit approvals, so I picked that news story because it named all the permit approvals and the Exxon permit number 4 was approved yesterday.

So please explain how the date of the article makes you less of a liar when you said that because the SECOND permit went to a Brizalian company there were no permits given to American oil conpanies when the article points out that the FIRST permit went to the Houston based company Nobel Energy?!!!!!

So please explain how the date of the article makes.

Fuck you Do you have anything else that Ameican oil companies were given permits before the date of your source? That is the fucking difference. An you use the word liar like yoiu have somethiung to hide yourself. You have nothing else.
