  • On This Day in Oil & Gas On This Day in Oil & Gas: April 5th: So why is this UNESCO World Heritage Site pertinent to oil and gas? The Easter Islanders transported their 50 tonne moai using huge wooden sledges. That, combined with using wood for dwellings led to deforestation, which in turn led to inability to create wooden catamarans to fish from. The ecosystem imploded and a population of 15,000 became 3,000 in less than a century. Easter Island serves as a case study for what happens when depletion of a natural resource goes too far and you fail to diversify, something we should all have in mind in an era of growing resource scarcity. read more

  • On This Day in Oil & Gas On This Day in Oil & Gas: March 22nd: So aside from There Will Be Blood, what impact has the oil and gas industry had on the silver screen?

  • On This Day in Oil & Gas On This Day in Oil & Gas: March 15th: At its height under the rule of Emperor Trajan, the Roman Empire would cover 2.75 million km² and encompass 57 million inhabitants.

Thank the Gods Nero couldn’t get his hands on some good seismic and a handful of drill rigs! read more

    Rig Writer What is the Oil and Gas Industry’s Personality Style?: The personality style questionnaire supposedly pigeon holes everybody into four categories: promoting, supporting, controlling and analyzing personality styles. Following the workshop my colleagues walked around with the profiling questionnaire, plotting virtually everybody, from our management and project team members to family members. Although I generally do not like generalizing, I have to admit that when I did not seem to fit in a box it did feel a little unsettling. Being an analyzer with controlling tendencies I didn’t feel in control and started wondering what the general personality style in the Oil & Gas industry would be… read more

  • Rig Writer Oil & Gas Business: China - A Cultural World Apart: It’s no secret that China has displayed astronomical growth rates due to an industrial revolution of sorts and China now has a higher demand for oil than any other country. Unlike most Western countries, which do not generally intervene in oil companies’ purchasing decisions, the Chinese authorities have placed increasing emphasis on investing in equity stakes to gain control of overseas assets. read more

  • Oil & Gas Offshore: Best to be prepared for the worst? Oil & Gas Offshore: Best to be prepared for the worst?: Over the course of the last week, the UK has been wrapped in a blanket of snow and ice. Cars have been stranded on major roads, minor roads have been completely impassable and even drinkers in a Yorkshire pub have been trapped for days (although that doesn’t really smack of bad luck to me).
