Oil Rigs.

New Frontiers.

Recently we saw 'Green Peace activists try to scale a new Russian oil rig in the Artic sea. This is the beginning of new frontier for the oil industry globally, as the ice seas warms up for the fist time in 600 years.

This is nothing new, as the global hoaxers would want you to believe. With new technology man will be enabled to exploit the resources in Alaska, Canada, Danish Greenland, Norway and Russia.

When we come to think about the oil rig at sea, it is quite a feat of engineering achievement for a towed vessel. Much has been gleaned as to its design and its history in development, from the various disasters over the years in the North-sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The rig must contain everything from drilling equipment to living accommodation and its own power plant, perhaps now it will also have support rigs for hospital and storage etc.

The winters will continue to freeze over, but the summers will have less ice for at least two hundred years.

Super Tankers.

Today the world needs energy and when it cannot be piped, it has to be shipped. So how big can we get with those ships? 

I suppose what limits size is the ability to be able to pass through, the Suez (Egypt) and Panama (Panama) canals. 

But the deep oceans still have many possibilities for ship sizes. Other factors to the size of ships are docking,and manoeuvrability.  

While all shipping is vulnerable to disasters through human failure or computer error. Spilt crude oil is not nice as was experienced in Alaska, U.S.A. The Shetland islands, N-Scotland, UK and off S-Wales. (UK).
