States included, is extremely reliant on oil and how much of it we can obtain. Wars have been started between countries vying for control of this valuable natural resource. The United States as a whole has been trying to reduce its reliance on foreign oil and has had some success, especially with the discovery of the Bakken formation and projects like the Keystone Pipeline. Projects like the Keystone Pipeline are important as they will allow us to transport more oil than we would be able to in train cars
The oil pipeline weaves through the village and can be traced all the way back to its source—a Chinese drilling rig at the end of a newly-cleared road. When the rig is pumping during the night, the pipeline runs scalding hot, impossible to touch. In the morning, however, it is a great place to dry laundry. That is the ostensible benefit of the pipeline for members of the Waorani (also Huaorani) tribe, an indigenous population that inhabits the tropical rainforests of eastern Ecuador. Three indigenous
house believes that expanding oil pipeline infrastructure is an utmost priority for Canada.” As opposition my partner, Siti, and I are opposed to this resolution. Here’s why. Oil pipelines are treacherous to the environment, dangerous to us and awful to First Nations. People may oppose this for various reasons, but we, myself and my partner, think otherwise. Oil pipelines can do more things than you think. Need proof? We have three phenomenal contentions,
“Improving Security of Oil Pipeline SCADA Systems Using Service-Oriented Architectures” is an article written by Nary Subramanian in 2008. The article introduces a new computer system that will improve a current computer system that runs oil pipelines. The purpose of this article was to convince the audience that the new computer system will improve the security and enhance the feasibility of the oil pipeline management. This essay analyzes rhetorical concepts the author used to convey his idea through
If you could make the decision whether the Keystone XL pipeline should be built, think about the impact it has on everyone; money, environment, animals, people. The Keystone XL pipeline is a crude oil pipeline that is an extension of the Keystone pipeline. It would run from Canada into the United States on the Gulf Coast of Texas. The pipeline would bring 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day to be refined in Texas. The Keystone XL pipeline should not be built because of the impact on the environment
World Bank’s involvement in the Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline project was originally intended to make sure that Chad’s oil money was being returned to the civilians and ensure that the pipeline was being constructed in an ecologically friendly way (Horta, Nguiffo, & Djiraibe, n.d.). In 2000, the World Bank stated that the project’s success "will be measured by poverty reduction rather than by barrels of oil produced or millions of dollars received by Chad for oil exports,” (Horta, Nguiffo, & Djiraibe, n
In most ways people think that the pipeline industry is all for itself,and in its process it destroys the enviroment.In fact there are protests and riots happening often, to say the least.People also hop on the bandwagon saying that the industry should be protested for its safety hazards.In this paper I will explain how the industry takes every precaution to prevent environmental and personal harm and what they can actually do for you if the right of way runs through your land. When the right
such as bends, reducers, eccentric reducer, tool piece etc. Fabrication of piping, valves, fittings, sections of piping etc. should be thoroughly cleaned. All sand, dirt or other foreign matter should be removed. The ends of completed sections of pipeline must be closed with suitable blinds, caps or other approved methods. All fabricated piping should be protected against rust and corrosion. 10.2. Tolerances: In addition to tolerances contained within the applicable codes or standards of the
The Keystone pipeline has caused many calamities towards the economy, sacred native sites and affected the health of the community. Although the pipeline has its flaws, some may argue that the pipeline has created countless positive aspects for everyone. The known saying is that the pipeline will create numerous jobs for unemployed citizens by former President Trump. Everyone is tbeing misinformed of the negative side effects the pipeline has created for thousands of endless native people and job
2.1 Introduction Pipeline is used to transfer fluids liquid or gas from one location to another location. Designing pipeline refers to Pipe Engineering. It is an application of petroleum, mechanical and chemical engineering basics, that deals with designing, testing, analysis, inspection and maintenance of pipeline. Industrially, all pipeline activities are achieved with the acquiescence and guidelines of international besides to industrial codes and standards as well as the laws, rules and assize
Alberta, Canada proposed a plan for the installation and use of a pipeline that would stretch from Alberta, Canada to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast of Texas in the United States. The pipeline, titled the Keystone Pipeline, would be installed in four separate phases and once completed would transport up to 1.1 million barrels of synthetic crude oil per day. Phases two through four of the pipeline encompass the parts of the pipeline that would be installed in the United States and would be located
the idea of building a twin pipeline for that of the Trans Mountain pipe line. And the clear question for all Canadians especially in the lower main land of British Columbia is this proposition to twin the pipe line safe, economical for British Columbia, and reliable way to transport fossil fuel in the form of crude oil? Or is this just business as usual? We defiantly need to establish the safety behind this. But safety is not only for the people around the pipeline but for the impact the building
The Best Job To Have “Fwoosh” is the the sound oil and gas makes as is gets transported through pipelines through everywhere oil and natural gases are needed. Workers who pipeline say it's a great job with good salaries and opportunities . The best job for a pipeliner to be would be a pipeline engineer, they design the pipelines and choose their landscapes. Clearly a career of choice to consider is to be a pipeline engineer, but being a pipeliner isn't as easy as it sounds there's a lot of school
By now, many Americans have been made aware of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL. It has been seven years since the pipeline was first proposed by the TransCanada Corporation with the intent to “allow crude oil from Canadian oil sands to reach U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast” (Mantel par. 2 on Chronology timeline). Some Americans are in favor of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL and others are strongly opposed to it. On Feb. 17, 2013, thousands of protestors gathered at the
The Keystone XL Pipeline Imagine the world; not as how it is now, but as how people wish it could be. There is no pollution, everyone has a job, the world is at peace and a safe place to live, and most importantly, everyone is happy. This is but a mere dream. Now open your eyes. See the reality of what the world truly is: we are intentionally hurting the environment, many people in the world are unemployed, many different countries are at war and people are dying because if it. Worst of all, people
Introduction The global oil and gas demand is rising dramatically and explorations of new oil and gas fields became one of major concern in the world. As a result of this, it has been evaluated that, the arctic region, mostly offshore, holds as much as 25% of the world’s unrecovered reserve of hydrocarbons where much of the reserve is lying under seasonal or year-round sea ice. So, future gas and oil production from the Arctic region may be played a crucial role in gas and oil industry. But any development
goods, it is necessary to have a sophisticated and widespread transportation system. This system is made up of five primary areas of transportation, which are: - Motor vehicles - Railroad transportation - Air transportation - Water transportation - Pipelines Each of these five modes consists of different subsystems which make up the system. Each mode is used to transport persons or goods, but in many instances, one mode may be favored over the others. All five modes require some primary source of funds
everything from transportation to food to drinking water. These two text are relevant to each other people because both issues have affected people's basic needs. Pipelines can contaminate water that leads to affecting the water, seafood, marine animals and First Nations' communities health.I can connect it to the history of built of pipelines when they do not construction crews don’t care whether they are in the way or not. When reading this passage it made me feel bother and infuriated when the water

use of eminent domain for the acquisition of land to build the Keystone Pipeline does not fall within the confines of for the public’s well being. The Nebraska State Legislature is a one vote house which is unique for the US. This does not allow for the checks that are in other states. Thus, the legislature is more easily influenced in the decisions made in support of eminent domain for the building of the Keystone Pipeline. Lobbyists spent or contribute over $27.4 million with TransCanada being
