The Oil Industry and its Dangers

What happened in the Deep Water Horizon Oil Platform? What was the role of the engineers in this tragedy? What do you know about the consequences of this event? Would you work in the Oil Industry even knowing the inherent dangers? Why?

is the worst oil disaster in the world with five millions barrels spilled in the Gulf of Mexico causing great pollution for marine ecosystem.This is caused by not properly seal the well, besides the neglect and laziness of the engineers of the plant: trusted that is a common phenomenon in the well; and the material distribution companies: use less centralizers that recommended.
The consequences is an impact on our most sensitve ecosystem that is extremely difficult to clean up and has an extreme negative impact on the marine ecosystem of the Gulf.
A way to clean the oil,this was throwing dispersants to the ocean to divide and separate the oil by natural microbes, but the scientifics say the wather is became more toxic.

"The cash move the world" Maybe this argument was applied in this situation also the bad decisions and an error series produced one of the worst oil catastrophes, they wanted to save money, they wanted to make easy and very quick and they taked it easy so, this is the result of this one big error, if i worked in this kind of industry, i wold be very very careful because this is one of the most dangerous jobs and you need to take seriously. The money doesn´t matter if you work in a dangerous place

It poured a lot of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. The engineers didn´t realize what was happening until it was too late. Carelessness caused by an "easy way" was what caused all this. Errors in communication between the companies responsible, wanting to save money and time was the main cause of this. In addition, negative pressure tests erroneously interpreted, a change in the number of centralizers to save time, ignore the terrible emergency cut models, a bad Mix in the cement, were other factors that influenced this catastrophe. Honestly, I wouldn´t like to work in the oil industry because of its impact on the environment are among the most damaging.

There are no accidents. The explosion of the Deep Water Horizon was due really like the video says a malisima communication, in addition to all involved and only wanted to do this drill to earn more money you lose in time also sought methods to economize work carelessly that also be efficient.

The role of engineers in this case should be an economic but mostly work extremely efficiently, unfortunately only saw what economic and income would receive for such work.

Such events only causes a global result: pollution of the sea. The other consequences are business level and personal level.

No, not seek a job in an oil plant not only for this type of problems or risks but because they live confined really have no days off and barely eat as it should, not to mention they are far away from their families.

This case was the worst oil spill in history, and well, it was produced by many mistakes carried from the offices, laboratory, the construction of emergency system and even from the people who works on the platform because they don't take enough care about their job. The effects were many enviromental and economical problems. I would accept to work in oil industry because it use many engineering fields and could be interesting, but i would be very serious with the job.

They could not control the well where flammable gas and mud came out but could not estayo and tube well is one of the worst oil spills.
In this case the ingenierios and should be prepared for this situation is not the first time that happens, there is a lack of responsibility and unfortunately entrepreneurs are the bosses and they are always going to want money, but I feel that engineers should of informal and insist, not just follow directions.
For what spills always cause economic problems and the most affected are the environmental problems.
And of course I would like to work there, would be super awesome, there are problems everywhere. It is one of the most interesting and dynamic work.

This is one of the biggets oil disasters and, the worst of all, is that this could have been prevented. There were a lot of communication mistakes and also, just for saving money and time, the results were catastrophic. The principal consequences were that people died and that the oil spilled on the sea. Cleaning the oil from the sea is difficult and it takes time, so many sea animals die. I'm not sure if I would like to work in a platform, the payment is really good, but there are a lot of risks. In any moment anything could happened and there is nowhere to go, that's why when there are accidents, a lot of people died. I have been once in an old platform and it's a very stressful place to work, the most meaningless mistake can produce a big accident, you always need to be aware of everything. I would have to love a lot what I would be doing there, to consider accepting that job.

I think it was a mistake due to poor communication between workers and also think it was one of the most significant problems, because there was a great outpouring of oil and there were many people affected, including people who died on the other hand ocaciono great environmental pollution in the gulf country. and because I believe that if work there despite all this, but would have into account the dangers and care for certain things.

1.-The personal of the plataform lose the control of the oil pit, this causes a huge explotion that poured oil over the Gulf of Mexico. 2.-They didn't take many factors at count like the quality of the cement or the lectures of the pressure in the ducts of extraction and the number of centralizers required to the ducts all this caused in conjunction with poor communication a big tragedy. 3.-This causes a enviromental pollution in the waters of the Gulf affecting marine wildlife. 4.- Yes, good pay.
