Brent Delta.

But what about natural occurances that could upset their predictions and let all that contained oil loose. I think they should be obligated to remove them no matter what the cost. They've pulled billions of $$$ out of the Earth and should ensure it is protected for future generations. They have our $$$!! JMHO JIM
 
^ Oh shut up...:rolleyes:
Well is plugged and abandoned, and the tanks are empty.
 
My understanding reading your post was that the tanks hold up to x number of gallons, nowhere does it state they are empty so shut up yourself! JIM
 
Stop spouting crap on a subject you know nothing about.
The news report is about the remains of the rig staying in the sea.
 
One doesn't have to be an expert to see Shell is simply avoiding spending some of the money they made out there and just wants to leave it in place and let someone else deal with it later on. And I don't believe for a second that they've been able to remove 100% of the oil that was in those tanks! JIM

Its a decommissioned rig, not a sunk oil tanker.
Seeing as you are out in the wild's of Canada, send Shell a Telex, or what ever it is you use, and they might get back to you...... ;)

Shell has been working for years on the long-term planning necessary to stop production and subsequently decommission of the Brent Field. Production from Brent Delta stopped in December 2011 and both Alpha and Bravo in November 2014. Production from Charlie is expected to stop within the next few years.

As operator of the Brent Field, Shell is required to submit a Decommissioning Programme to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The programme includes detailed recommendations for closing down and making safe the four platforms and subsea infrastructure of the Brent Field. These recommendations are the result of over 10 years of engineering studies, expert input, consultations and scientific assessments, including extensive discussions with more than 180 organisations including non-government organisations, academia, fishermen and local communities. This comprehensive programme of consultation reflects one of the major lessons learnt from the decommissioning of Brent Spar two decades ago.
 
I know little about these things, but would have thought the site completion standard should have been agreed as part of any licensing procedure years ago.
 
I worked for Halliburton for 10 years, not oil and gas group though.
