Sto Ocean Pipeline Case Study

The origination of this case study begins on one brisk morning back on the 19th of September in 2008 when TransCanada first submitted their application to the U.S. State Department to build the Keystone XL pipeline. The Canadian based energy infrastructure company proposed a 1,179-mile, 36-inch diameter pipeline that would transport crude oil from Canada, through Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Along with transporting oil from producers in Texas, Oklahoma, Montana and North Dakota (Figure 1).

A new rising issue is the North Dakota Access Pipeline v. Native American tribe, Standing Rock. The main reason for the pipeline is to transport crude oil through four states more safely than the current way of transporting it through 750 railroad cars daily. In the same fashion, the pipeline will convert the 750 carts to 470,000 barrels of crude oil traveling 1,172 miles a day. Under those circumstances, the line will start in Montana, traveling through North Dakota reaching Canada, then heading southeast to South Dakota and finishing up in Illinois. On the positive side, it will make 374.3 million gallons per day, resulting in giving America an economic boom. The pipeline project is predicted to be a $3.7 billion investment and producing

Australia, the country where many outsiders perceive its population living in desolate rural communities. Although many Australians reside on coastlines and cities, small-town life remains a significant part of the country's identity. The resonance of small-town Australia, as depicted in Craig Silvey's novel, Jasper Jones, and Jocelyn Moorhouse's 2015 film, The Dressmaker, provides audiences with insight into the complexities of life in these seemingly close-knit communities. Set in the 1960s, Jasper Jones follows Charlie Bucktin in the Western Australian town of Corrigan, as he navigates his way through a horrendous murder, whilst also confronting the discrimination and traditional societal values that shape the community’s dynamics. Likewise,

According to CNN, the proposed pipeline, would span nearly 2,600 kilometers across 6 U.S. states. Transferring more than 800,000 barrels of carbon-heavy petroleum daily, from Canadian oil sands, through Nebraska, to refineries in the Gulf Coast. Moving forth with the pipeline project, it is said to cost $7 billion.

land grabs by Big Oil is being shed due to the DAPL, this is not an isolated incident. Big oil companies such as Kinder Morgan use eminent domain to sue landowners who refuse to leave their land.

Bitumen is much different than regular crude oil and there are fewer studies on Bitumen and the toxic impacts it can have on human health and the natural environment. Bitumen is nearly impossible to clean up because unlike regular crude oil, it sinks

Protests continue to grow as the weeks continue to get long for the decision whether or not the pipeline with be repositioned. One of the most talked about controversies talked about in the last 3 months sadly is not over yet, but is hoping to be done in future weeks to come. The Standing Rock Sioux Indian tribe and Energy transfer Partners are hoping the government will see it their way. Both sides have valid reason for why they want it to continue or not to continue ,but it is up to the government as they will have the final say in the finishing of the

America had a huge industrial revolution in the late 1800’s. The process was slow, but many changes were made. Americans found it more profitable to make a living on a farm. There were many changes in our nation like new technology, a lot of immigrants into our country , and different/new views on our government. All of these factors helped to promote a huge industrial revolution.

The Keystone Pipeline is a pipeline based in Alberta, Canada that transfers up to 830,000 barrels of oil into the United States daily. The pipe is 1,179 miles long, ending in Steele city, Nebraska. Although about 61 percent of Americans approve the pipeline, there are many environmentalists and other U.S citizens who are against the pipeline and the dangers that may come from it and the effects it could have.

Dakota Access Pipeline, transferring 470,000 barrels of crude oil every day, making United States not as much dependent on unstable regions of the world for our oil consumption. This oil would come from North Dakota, which says to contain undiscovered 7.4 billion barrels of crude oil. This pipeline would build underground crossing about 200 wetlands, including Missouri River, and 4 states of dry lands; the route will be starting from North Dakota to South Dakota and Iowa, then into Illinois. In Illinois it will be connected to other pipeline companies to transfer this oil all the way to Gulf of Mexico. And since it will be underground, we will not have dependency on rails and trucks. ETP (Energy Transfer Partners) has confirmed that if ever leak is detected, remotely from Texas, monitoring workers can close block valves within three minutes. There are many protestors including Rock Sioux tribe, and many other Indian tribes along environmentalists, thinking that if there is a spill in water, it will ruin drinking water and destroy historic, religious, and cultural sites, which are found to be very significant to the tribes. It has many economic benefits but in contrast it will create worst destructions. I think it is a terrible idea because, having few benefits from taking many risks of ruination is not a smart plan and is not sustainable living. Best solution for this issue is to transport crude oil only by roads or ships. It is important to make living sustainable by not

We are venturing into a period of time in which fossil fuels such as oil are starting to share the same importance as water. Looking back in time, an abundance of fossil fuels was not a myth but a reality. However as time went on this resource began to deplete, and landing in present time the façade of abundance quickly faded. Oil deposits are quickly draining and new reserves cannot be found to offset current production. On top of that a major point of concern lies in the fact that oil reserves are not scattered evenly across the globe, meaning that places around the world have to import oil to sustain their needs. A method of solving this issue is through the application of pipelines, which differ from conventional methods such as shipping via rail or sea. This essay will focus on a specific pipeline named the Keystone XL that is located in the United States, and furthermore examine both the positive and negative connotations associated with this controversial project. Methods that can help minimize the negative effects on the environment will also be examined, as well as a personal perspective on the project.

the pipeline is close to a river. The river is the only source of water that the Standing Rock Sioux

Erik Erikson, a well known developmental theorist, developed his theory about stages of human development from birth to death by using Freud 's work as a starting point. According to Erikson, personality develops in a series of stages. Erikson found out that children experience conflicts which affect their development. He described the internal conflict which children go through in developmental stages using the term ‘crisis’ and are based on either developing a psychological quality, or failing to develop that quality (Bee & Boyd 2003). During this period of development, chances of developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality are equal. He believes that the personal identity and future development of a person are determined by the way he or she resolves the series of conflicts they go through.

and its minimal impact on the movement of Canadian Crude Oil in the United States. The Keystone XL pipeline has been delayed, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect on the supply of Canadian Crude which has only increased 64% since the Keystone XL project was announced. The article also tells on the alternative routes of transporting Canadian Crude into US via trains and also by existing pipelines, where the operators are finding out newer methods to move oil faster through these pipelines. Though in the long term, the writer feels that the Keystone project will be a cheaper and safer route. Other players like Enbridge Energy Partners LP who have existing pipelines are looking towards a capacity expansion which will provide the same capacity as the Keystone XL pipeline albeit at a much lower capex

Everyone needs love and attention from the people around them as well as somebody to love. Nevertheless, sometimes you can do everything that is in your power, yet love does not work out like you wanted it to. Maybe your affection is not reciprocated or it might not fit into other people’s conception of love. “Sonnet CXXX” and “Sonnet CXLIX”, both written by William Shakespeare and from his collection “Shakespeare’s Sonnets” which was published in 1609, deals with above-mentioned themes as well as love in general.
