What a week! The build up to Offshore Europe in Aberdeen continues (I will be there tomorrow, the 9th, if anyone wants to meet up, feel free to email me)
This article asks quite an important question, what are Brazil and China doing about climate change? Well... not much, although I think you could argue that in order to build all of the wind farms, turbines, etc, is going to take a lot of oil, petrol and various other materials from the oil industry. It also gives a good run down of how busy the 2 countries have been.
The big news of the past week has been this massive BP find in the Gulf of Mexico at the Tiber well. It's sparked a whole storm of commentary on both sides of the fence about whether America should be drilling offshore, and if they don't, someone else will.
On a slightly lighter note, there was an architect who was planning to make Oil Rigs into hotels and Casinos. Link here. I don't imagine that this is the safest idea in the world, but maybe that's just me...
I got that link as I was reading this interesting article about Decommisioning. By all accounts, this is the most boring kind of work possible, but I reckon it'll be a big industry fairly soon.
Jobs this week have changed, it's looking likely that I will be needing some senior staff for a newly built drilling rig in China.
At the moment I need Senior DPOs with Semi sub or Drillship experience, and Barge Engineers with similar. As usual, emails to mb.oilblog@gmail.com
Take it easy, and there'll be a report on Offshore Europe soon.
