Mariner Energy Burst Into Flames In The Gulf Of Mexico Posted: 02 Sep 2010 11:08 PM PDT Mariner gets more than 85% of its oil and gas from the Gulf of Mexico, where it works in both deep and shallow water. The company is a relatively small producer, pumping the equivalent of about 18 million barrels of oil from the Gulf last year, an eighth of the production of BP PLC, the Gulf's biggest operator.That is almost an absurd number to me," said Lee Hunt, president of the International Association of Drilling Contractors. "You want to lower that number." This was the third fire on this platform since 2007; in 2008, a welder using an acetylene torch sparked a flash fire, burning his forearm.The energy company's oil platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in shallow water about 100 miles off the Louisiana coast.Burger King Holdings Inc., up $4.73 at $23.59.Private equity firm 3G Capital is buying the country's No. 2 hamburger chain in a deal valued at $3.26 billion. The Mariner fire involves a platform, not a rig, and is in water 15 times shallower than the site of the BP well that caused the record spill."This incident will increase pressure on the federal government to prolong the moratorium," said Bern, a former BP crude trader whose Flossmoor, Illinois, firm provides risk- management advice to oil producers. "I don't think it's going to matter much to regulators that this wasn't a deep-water installation and that nobody got hurt. Scrutiny of the whole industry will intensify. Mariner had approximately 1,087 billion cubic feet equivalent of natural gas (Bcfe) of proved reserves, of which approximately 53% were natural gas and 47% were oil, condensate, and natural gas liquids.Total net production in 2009 was approximately 126.5 Bcfe, and net production averaged 347 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas (MMcfe) per day.Mariner, which agreed in April to be acquired by Apache Corp., tumbled as much as 16 percent in New York trading in the hours after the accident. |

Harry Morton The New Lady On His Arm Mega Celebrity Jennifer Aniston Posted: 02 Sep 2010 10:16 PM PDT Harry Morton,leaving the Sunset tower hotel where they had dinner. This doesn't mean anything of course but since we are talking about Jennifer Aniston anything is valid to start rumors!Aniston and Morton were apparently flirting while having a bite at the hotel. She was seen sitting next to him, touching his arm several times while looking at photos together. Morton doesn't seem to be a candidate for dating.He has a history of short romances and no long relationship that include names such as Lindsay Lohan and Hayden Panettiere.The couple enjoyed a dinner at the Sunset Tower Hotel, complete with public displays of affection and canoodling. An eyewitness told Radar that Jennifer looked "a little nervous" and was "laughing at everything he said.Morton is the ex of young starlet Hayden Panettiere and young train wreck Lindsay Lohan and is most famous for being the founder of the Pink Taco restaurant chain.

Oil Rig Explosion Platform Exploded And Burned Off The Louisiana Coast Posted: 02 Sep 2010 09:54 PM PDT The US Coast Guard said. All 13 rig workers abandoning the rig and were floating together near the well when rescued, Coast Guard Captain Peter Troedsson told reporters.The workers were taken to a local hospital for examination,though no one was seriously injured, Troedsson said. The rig's owner, Mariner Energy, initially reported an oil sheen near the rig about 145 km south of Vermillion Bay on Louisiana's coast, but Throedsson said there was now no evidence that any oil had leaked into the water. The company that owns the platform, Houston-based Mariner Energy, did not know what caused the fire. Workers who were pulled from the water told rescuers that there was a blast on board, but Mariner Energy's Patrick Cassidy said he considered what happened aboard the platform a fire, not an explosion.Mariner officials said there were seven active production wells on the platform, and they were shut down shortly before the fire broke out. The Crystal Clear, a 110-foot boat, was in the Gulf doing routine maintenance work on oil rigs and platforms. When Capt. Dan Shaw arrived at the scene of the blast, the workers were holding hands in the water, where they had been for two hours. They were thirsty and tired."We gave them soda and water, anything they wanted to drink," Shaw said. "They were just glad to be on board with us." the flow of oil at a different spot below the blowout preventer; and building underwater domes that would contain the rising plume of oil and allow it to be pumped to separate storage tanks for disposal. |
Marshall University Student's,Teacher's And The Small Warming Result's Agreement With Radiosonde Posted: 02 Sep 2010 09:40 PM PDT The MAT offers an alternative route to teacher certification for persons who already have an undergraduate degree in a content area such as chemistry, music, French, and other liberal and fine arts, business or professional fields.Using the previously completed content courses as a foundation, this program provides the required professional education courses at the graduate level. Marshall University's "Appalachians Abroad, Teach in China" program sparked the most interest. To qualify for this particular program one must be a college graduate. The application also called for two recommendation letters and a personal statement. Two weeks after sending in my application Marshall University informed me that I had been accepted to the program. The next step was to decide where I would like to teach and live.Complex thoughts and ideas must be continually verbalized in the simplest manner. Some days I feel at a loss because either my students have not completely understood the lesson or they are in an "after lunch" state of mind and are therefore unwilling to open their minds to new information. Other days I witness a mind grow right before my very eyes. Jones got Marshall to a winning record for the first time since 2001 with a 16-14 mark in his first season. Jones will field his 2008-09 team with transfers from Florida, Purdue and Georgetown mixed in with seniors Markel Humphrey and Darryl Merthie. Chadwick's women's team will return four starters and hope to avoid injuries in pursuit of a C-USA title after finishing 17-16. Casey Baker was on the All-Conference USA Defensive team and Tynikki Crook was named to the All-Tournament team. |
