Abandoned oil rigs in the sea can become valuable artificial reefs

September 19, 2018 -

Oil rigs and other artificial installations are usually built to function for around 20 to 30 years. After this time, they are usually decommissioned and removed to reduce supposed water pollution. However, experts now agree that during the two to three decades of being in the sea, the tubes, bars, and bricks become breeding grounds for beneficial substrates that attract different plants and animals. Even as these artificial structures fail to be useful for their intended ...

New purpose for old oil rigs: Researchers suggest transitioning them to human-made reefs

June 29, 2019 -

There are around 6,000 oil rigs around the world. As the floating facilities go about the work of extracting oil and natural gas, their underwater substructures get turned into vertical reefs by marine plants and animals.

Researchers from the University of California Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara) compiled data from the fragmented and sparse scientific literature on converting oil platforms into permanent reefs.

Companies are reviving abandoned oil wells in Arkansas to mine lithium

July 24, 2023 -

Just recently, Magnolia Mayor Parnell Vann inspected three of these wells. He noted the squat blue spire of valves, bolts and pressure gauges attached to one of the wells – a telltale sign that someone is trying to revive it.

But companies in the area are no longer looking for oil. They are instead searching for lithium, a metal that is increasingly prized around the world as an essential ingredient in batteries of electric vehicles (EVs).

Analysis reveals trucking industry is BALKING at high cost of operating electric rigs

May 21, 2024 -

However, an analysis conducted by truck leasing company Ryder System, which manages 250,000 trucks and vans for tens of thousands of retailers and manufacturers, concluded that operating expenses for low-emissions rigs are far higher than those for diesel trucks. Now that the heavy-duty electric trucks are available, few customers would want to pay for them.

"The economics just don't work for most companies," the company's chief executive Robert Sanchez said. "As trucks ...

Nuclear ground zero Fukushima remains largely abandoned ten years on

March 06, 2022 -

The Japanese government has allocated billions of dollars to rebuilding and decontamination efforts to bring back people and jobs displaced by the Fukushima disaster. But these efforts have barely convinced people to return to the nuclear ground zero. The prefecture saw a 10 percent drop in its population in the past decade, four times more than the neighboring Miyagi Prefecture's 2.5 percent.

More than 160,000 people were evacuated from the nuclear plant's surrounding ...

Florida citizens who abandoned their pets could face FELONY charges

Director Dianne Sauve said “there is absolutely no excuse” for abandoning a pet, ...

The Human Connection: What American Medicine Abandoned in Pursuit of Progress

16 days ago - Introduction: A Priest in a Fedora

On winter evenings in Great Neck, New York, a young Frank Ittleman would watch his father, Dr. Felix 'Big Frank' Ittleman, step in from the cold, fedora on his head and a heavy black bag in hand. His home's front rooms doubled as a medical practice, a place where patients traveled by train for care and conversation. 'People said talking to him was like talking to a priest,' his son recalled. 'Only better.' [1]

New problem adding to national supply chain woes: Getting spare parts for tractor-trailer rigs that break down

October 28, 2021 -

We have reported the fact that there are hundreds of container ships anchored off of major ports along the East and West coastlines, and we have noted that a shortage of dockworkers, longshoremen and truck drivers is adding to a growing bottleneck that is leading to increasingly barren store shelves.

Now, there is a new problem associated with the supply chain breakdown that will actually hasten the collapse: A dearth of spare parts not only for ordinary vehicles but ...
