One of the world's largest oil companies is preparing to drill an exploratory deepwater oil well about 500 kilometres off the eastern coast of Newfoundland. ExxonMobil says the Stena Drillmax ship will drill a single well, which the company is calling Persephone, in about 3,000 metres of water. The well will be drilled in an area of the seabed called the Orphan Basin, which is north of the Flemish Pass Basin, where Equinor is considering developing the country's first deepwater oil production operation, called Bay du Nord.

In many cases, climate change is further increasing the economic pressure on Indigenous communities to make quick-and-dirty deals with extractive industries. That’s because disruptive weather changes, particularly in northern regions, are making it much harder to hunt and fish (for example when the ice is almost never solid, communities in the far north become virtually trapped, unable to harvest food for months on end). All this makes it extremely hard to say no to offers of job training and resource sharing when companies like Shell come to town. Members of these communities know that the drilling will only make it harder to engage in subsistence activities—there are real concerns about the effects of oil development on the migration of whales, walruses, and caribou—and that’s without the inevitable spills. But precisely because the ecology is already so disrupted by climate change, there often seems no other option.
The paucity of good choices is perhaps best on display in Greenland, where receding glaciers and melting ice are revealing a vast potential for new mines and offshore oil exploration. The former Danish colony gained home rule in 1979, but the Inuit nation still relies on an annual infusion of more than $600 million (amounting to a full third of the economy) from Denmark. A 2008 self-governance referendum gave Greenland still more control over its own affairs, but also put it firmly on the path of drilling and mining its way to full independence. “We’re very aware that we’ll cause more climate change by drilling for oil,” a top Greenlandic official, then heading the Office of Self-Governance, said in 2008. “But should we not? Should we not when it can buy us our independence?” Currently, Greenland’s largest industry is fishing, which of course would be devastated by a major spill. And it doesn’t bode well that one of the companies selected to begin developing Greenland’s estimated fifty billion barrels of offshore oil and gas is none other than BP.
Indeed the melancholy dynamic strongly recalls BP’s “vessels of opportunity” program launched in the midst of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. For months, virtually the entire Louisiana fishing fleet was docked, unable to make a living for fear that the seafood was unsafe. That’s when BP offered to convert any fishing vessel into a cleanup boat, providing it with booms to (rather uselessly) mop up some oil. It was tremendously difficult for local shrimpers and oystermen to take work from the company that had just robbed them of their livelihood—but what choice did they have? No one else was offering to help pay the bills. This is the way the oil and gas industry holds on to power: by tossing temporary life rafts to the people it is drowning.

Every Diva Needs Her Autobiography!
Tumblr media
“Come on in, angelfish! Come closer! It’s time you learned the full story of how such a fabulous woman came to be! Now, let’s see here... I grew up on the outskirts of Atlantica, the low rent district if you catch my drift. My mother... Now how shall I put this? She was a severe woman. In every meaning of the word. She had expectations and rules and you followed them. If you didn't, well... you just did with her. Actually, now that I think about it, Maleficent reminds me of her, and I'm not sure how I never noticed that.
"It was only the three of us back then: me, her, and my little skank of a sister, Morgana. Pretty sure mommy dearest turned daddy into a shrimp and gobbled him up when we were little. Anyway, we were always poor like the other Octopins, living like worms whilst the merpeople of Atlantica sang and danced all day. Oh how it disgusted my mother how much the Atlanticans hoarded for themselves. She pushed us so hard to be powerful enough to take everything that Atlantica had for ourselves. I rose to the challenge; Morgana never did.
Tumblr media
“Morgana hated me when we were little. And I know what you’re thinking, but this time, I actually didn't do anything to her... aside from being our mother's favorite daughter. It's hardly my fault that mommy loved me and not her. I earned that love fair and square, just like I’ve earned everything that’s come my way. If this world was a meritocracy, I’d be ruling it by now! Magic, however, wasn’t my only talent either. I always loved being the center of attention, and I knew how to command a room. It’s only natural that I found my way to the theater!
“Back in the day, there was a traveling theater company, the Deepwater Dramaturgy. They were the best of the best, so of course I had to audition and get my chance to perform on stage with them! Let’s see... I played the evil stepsister in Ashpuddle. I originally wanted to be Ashpuddle herself, but I quickly found that villains were more fun to play! Oh! I did Sir John Faltrident in Merry Wives of the Wadden Sea, and then the Nurse in The Shipwrecked Lovers! Now that's a fascinating role! I've often contemplated having a séance to talk to the actress who originated that part from beyond her watery grave, because I have lots and lots of questions for her. HA!
Tumblr media
“I have so many fond memories of the theater, but perhaps most importantly, it opened the doors to the palace for me. You see, King Triton had just lost his wife, and he had a castle full of little mergirls to entertain. So, he invited the Deepwater Dramaturgy to perform in the palace and keep the mood cheerful after the recent time of mourning. Well he took one look at my big beautiful self on stage, and he was absolutely transfixed! A little potion I slipped him helped matters along, of course, but I made sure that I was irresistible to a poor unfortunate widower.
“The two of us began our passionate scandalous love affair behind closed doors, and I had him hooked like a worm! He gave me a position at court to justify my presence in the palace, and I quickly set to work turning that ceremonial position into one of real power and influence. My mother was so proud of how far I’d climbed to get near to the top! Of course, Triton didn’t want to tell his pretty little daughters that he was seeing another woman so soon after their mother’s death, so he introduced me to them as their “Auntie Ursula.” Unfortunately, that’s where those nonsensical rumors about Triton and I being brother and sister cropped up. HA! I mean, really, we look nothing alike! Simple fools!
Tumblr media
“That’s about the time I heard the news my mother was floating on her death bed. I think seeing her favorite daughter get within striking distance of the trident and crown put her at peace enough to move on. I know she wanted to hold on a little longer to see my victory, but it’s for the best she passed when she did. Living through my banishment would have destroyed her! This way, I got to hold her tentacles while she drew her last breath and throw her a royal funeral after. Morgana had unresolved drama there, but that’s her problem. I don’t give her much thought, you understand.
“Living it up in the palace and enjoying the fantastical feasts and exquisite art was truly the life! Sadly, all good things come to an end. I knew I had to make my move on Triton soon, so I began cultivating a magic to hypnotize him into marrying me and legitimizing me as Queen of Atlantica in the public eye. That way I could bump him off in some tragic accident and take the crown for myself. But that meddlesome loud-mouth crab Sebastian caught on to my plans, and he blabbed about it to Triton. My spell wasn’t ready yet, so what was a poor girl to do?
Tumblr media
“Well, I figured it was time for a last ditch effort; I’d just take the trident and crown by force! When Triton came to banish me and cast me out, I attacked! We fought magic vs trident on the balconies of the palace, and though I put up a good fight, the power of the trident was too great for me to overcome. Triton defeated me, and OH the toll it took on my poor body! I could barely swim after that, but swim I did! I swam away from the palace and out of the kingdom a broken woman. Triton could have pursued and finished me off, but I suppose his weak heart kept him from doing that. 
“I fled to the Kingdom of the Octopins, my mother’s homeland. They’d been fighting border skirmishes with Atlantica for years, so they welcomed me as a hero for my attack on Triton. I was too injured, too weak, and my magic was no match for the trident’s power. I knew I couldn’t face Triton again. However, during our battle, I managed to siphon off enough trident juice to forge a second trident almost as powerful as Triton’s! I gave it to the leader of the Octopins and told his army just how to slip past the Atlantican’s defenses in the Sargasso Sea. The plan was perfect! They would fight and defeat Triton and put my skinny bottom on the throne! But you know what they say about the best laid plans. The great war hero Apollo spoiled everything by shattering the trident, and that was all Triton needed to drive my army back.
Tumblr media
“Brute force had failed me twice. I knew cunning was the only way to get what I truly wanted. I set up shop on the outskirts of Atlantica in a sunken ship from the Kingdom of Malak. It was a homey little place to make my own, and the petrified remains of the crew gave it that deadly and lethal vibe that I love so much! HA! I believe I actually have Grimhilde to thank for that. I should let her know how much I appreciated it at our next luncheon. While living in exile, I found a couple young street eels named Flotsam and Jetsam who’d lost their parents in a shark attack. They were clever and ruthless, and I admired that about them. I put a roof over their head and taught them all about living the good life. They’ve been mommy’s little poopsies ever since! 
“The boys served as excellent spies to keep a magical eye on Atlantica, and they also were quite talented at luring unsuspecting merfolk into my clutches. It was hard being banished, but I found “gardening” to be very therapeutic! Having a collection of souls as a trophy for every deal well struck, making it so they’re powerless to do anything but to watch me continue to win? Mmm, just delicious! I eventually outgrew my little sandbox, though. I struck a deal with the King of Moray people to obtain the corpse of the Serpentine monster his people had put down, and I moved my lair to be inside the belly of the beast. Worked out perfectly!
Tumblr media
“I had a few run ins with Triton and the people of Atlantica over the years, but my plans were foiled again and again by Triton’s youngest daughter, Ariel, the little hussy. The girl had a fascination with human things and seemed to have a knack for getting into trouble, and that made her unique amongst her dull sisters. I knew if there was one weak link in Triton’s perfect little chain, Ariel was it. She would be my ticket back into power, and so I had my boys keep an extra close watch on her. And, wouldn’t you know it? The girl fell in love with a human prince! It was almost too easy! I didn’t even have to do anything. Triton practically pushed her right into my clutches.
“Ariel and I struck a deal. I would turn her human for three days, during which time she’d have the opportunity to get her prince to fall in love with her. All it would cost her was that beautiful singing voice of hers. I was sure she’d fail without much trouble, and then I’d claim her soul to lord over Triton. But the little tramp was better than I thought, so desperate times called for desperate measures! I turned myself into a beautiful woman named Vanessa and used Ariel’s captive voice to seduce and enchant her prince. Give the girl credit, she and her filthy friends exposed me and put a stop to my wedding to the prince, but they were too late!
Tumblr media
“Per the terms of our contract, Ariel was mine forever, and just as I knew he would, her dear old daddy came rushing off to the rescue. My magical contracts are unbreakable even for the sea king! He had no choice but to sacrifice himself to save his precious little girl. The sap! I took the trident and the crown at long last, and then I became RULER OF ALL THE OCEANS! ... That is, until Ariel and her sentimental fool of a prince interfered and drove a ship right into my belly! Oh the PAIN! Absolutely horrible what that big bad prince did to a poor sea witch. Where, oh where, is the justice in this universe?
“But, sweetcheeks, if you’ve learned anything from my tale, it should be this: you can’t keep a good witch down. I always have a plan B, even for death. Amazing how contracting your own soul back to yourself just shakes up the whole process. Your girl’s back and as gorgeous and fabulous as ever! And next time, I’ll finally get Triton and his little mermaid too!”

Brazil divided over oil drilling proposal off Amazon delta
‘A big fight’: potential new fossil fuel source causes rift in Lula government after green pledges
Tumblr media
A proposal to drill for oil in the sea off the mouth of the Amazon river has exposed a rift in the cabinet of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, lining up an important test of his pledges to halt environmental destruction.
National oil and gas company Petrobras has lodged an appeal after the environmental agency rejected its request to drill an exploratory well in the zone known as the Foz do Amazonas, or Amazon Mouth basin, some 175km from the country’s northern coast. 
The scheme has split opinion among Lula voters, and while the leftwinger has avoided taking a firm position, he has said he found it “difficult” to believe the activity would cause ecological problems given the 500km distance between the deepwater site in the Atlantic Ocean and the rainforest.
More than just a single wellhead is at stake. Environmental policy in Brazil draws international attention because it is home to a large portion of the Amazon river and its surrounding rainforest, a store of carbon critical to protecting the earth’s climate. Campaigners say the area around the proposed oil exploration site is ecologically sensitive and near coral reefs.
Yet industry figures argue that tapping the wider offshore region in which the block lies, known as the Equatorial Margin, is crucial to the South American nation’s continued status as a globally important energy producer.

DM posted something about ghosted being Deepwater 2.0 is it true
Yeah, I saw that DM post, and I'll be frank - the fact that it came out during everyone being angry this week makes me a little sus of it. If it had been sent in a month or so ago, then maybe I'd be less leery of it. There were just a couple of small comments before this (and after that early screening) that made me stop and think, there might be some problems with this movie. (Like, you know, why haven't we gotten even a small blurb from the production company about the basic plot of the movie? Nothing that gives anything away, but just a vague blurb. Where is that?)
If the movie comes out and turns out to be good, I'll absolutely say, well, I was mistaken, egg on my face for believing misleading comments on the internet. I have nothing against stating when I'm totally wrong. I'm humble that way. (Yes, that's shade.)

Completely unhinged life story. Like a parody of a corporate mad scientist.
In 1916, Midgley began working at General Motors. In December 1921, while working under the direction of Charles Kettering at Dayton Research Laboratories, a subsidiary of General Motors, he discovered (after discarding tellurium due to the difficult-to-eradicate smell) that the addition of tetraethyllead (TEL) to gasoline prevented knocking in internal combustion engines.[4] The company named the substance "Ethyl", avoiding all mention of lead in reports and advertising. Oil companies and automobile manufacturers (especially General Motors, which owned the patent jointly filed by Kettering and Midgley) promoted the TEL additive as an inexpensive alternative superior to ethanol or ethanol-blended fuels, on which they could make very little profit.[5][6][7] In December 1922, the American Chemical Society awarded Midgley the 1923 Nichols Medal for the "Use of Anti-Knock Compounds in Motor Fuels".[8] This was the first of several major awards he earned during his career.[2]
In 1923, Midgley took a long vacation in Miami to cure himself of lead poisoning. He said, "I find that my lungs have been affected and that it is necessary to drop all work and get a large supply of fresh air."[9] That year, General Motors created the General Motors Chemical Company (GMCC) to supervise the production of TEL by the DuPont company. Kettering was elected as president with Midgley as vice president. However, after two deaths and several cases of lead poisoning at the TEL prototype plant in Dayton, Ohio, the staff at Dayton was said in 1924 to be "depressed to the point of considering giving up the whole tetraethyl lead program".[6] Over the course of the next year, eight more people died at DuPont's plant in Deepwater, New Jersey.[9] In 1924, dissatisfied with the speed of DuPont's TEL production using the "bromide process", General Motors and the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (now known as ExxonMobil) created the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation to produce and market TEL. Ethyl Corporation built a new chemical plant using a high-temperature ethyl chloride process at the Bayway Refinery in New Jersey.[9] However, within the first two months of its operation, the new plant was plagued by more cases of lead poisoning, hallucinations, insanity, and five deaths.[7]
The risks associated with exposure to lead have been known at least since 2000 BC,[10] while efforts to limit lead's use date back to at least the 16th century.[11][10][12] Midgley experienced lead poisoning himself, and was warned about the risk of lead poisoning from TEL as early as 1922.[13] Midgley well knew the hazards of lead. He investigated whether the risks, both in production and use, could be managed. Testing on the exhaust was completed, which he used to support the idea that 1 part tetraethyl lead per 1300 of gasoline could safely be used.[14] After the initial worker exposures, controls were developed to allow the process to operate safely. Leaded gasoline use grew exponentially. The chronic impacts of environmental lead were grossly underestimated.
On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for 60 seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems.[7][15] However, the State of New Jersey ordered the Bayway plant to be closed a few days later, and Jersey Standard was forbidden to manufacture TEL again without state permission. Production was restarted in 1926 after intervention by the federal government. High-octane fuel, enabled by lead, was important to the military. Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.
...
In the late 1920s, air conditioning and refrigeration systems employed compounds such as ammonia (NH3), chloromethane (CH3Cl), propane, methyl formate (C2H4O2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) as refrigerants. Though effective, these were toxic, flammable or explosive. The Frigidaire division of General Motors, at that time a leading manufacturer of such systems, sought a non-toxic, non-flammable alternative to these refrigerants.[17]
Midgley, working with Albert Leon Henne, soon narrowed his focus to alkyl halides (the combination of carbon chains and halogens), which were known to be highly volatile (a requirement for a refrigerant) and also chemically inert. They eventually settled on the concept of incorporating fluorine into a hydrocarbon. They rejected the assumption that such compounds would be toxic, believing that the stability of the carbon–fluorine bond would be sufficient to prevent the release of hydrogen fluoride or other potential breakdown products.[17] The team eventually synthesized dichlorodifluoromethane,[18] the first chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), which they named "Freon".
all demographics and time periods and geography taken fully into consideration, some people were just born to lose

Navigating the Future of Oil Exploration: Challenges and Innovations
Oil has been the lifeblood of global economies for over a century. As the world's primary energy source, its exploration has shaped nations and defined geopolitics. However, the future of oil well exploration is set to undergo profound changes due to environmental, economic, and technological factors. While fossil fuels continue to be a key energy source, the future promises both challenges and opportunities for this vital industry.
Shifting Demand in the Global Energy Market
The demand for oil remains robust, but the growing focus on renewable energy sources is shifting the global energy landscape. Nations are setting ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy. While this doesn't mean the end of oil exploration, it certainly indicates a shift in demand.
Governments and corporations alike are investing heavily in renewable technologies such as solar, wind, and hydrogen, which are seen as the future of global energy production. However, oil is expected to remain a significant player in the energy mix for decades, particularly for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as aviation, shipping, and petrochemicals.
The challenge for oil companies lies in balancing this transition while maintaining profitability. As oil demand is predicted to plateau by mid-century, exploration efforts are likely to become more selective, with companies focusing on regions with the highest potential yields.
Technological Innovations Driving Exploration Efficiency
One of the most significant factors shaping the future of oil exploration is technological innovation. Advances in technology are making it easier, faster, and cheaper to explore new oil wells. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and big data analytics are transforming how geologists and engineers assess potential oil fields.
These technologies allow companies to analyze vast amounts of geological data, reducing the uncertainty and risk associated with drilling. AI can also predict the most productive areas to drill, increasing the chances of finding new reserves while minimizing environmental disruption.
In addition, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies, such as carbon dioxide injection and thermal recovery, are helping to extract more oil from existing wells. These methods could become even more critical as easily accessible oil fields become scarcer, ensuring that oil wells remain productive for more extended periods.
Deepwater and Arctic Exploration: The Final Frontier?
As conventional onshore oil fields are depleted, exploration is moving toward more challenging environments. Deepwater and Arctic regions, once considered too remote or inhospitable for large-scale oil exploration, are now emerging as significant frontiers. Advances in drilling technology have made it possible to tap into these previously inaccessible reserves.
However, this comes with significant environmental and logistical challenges. Drilling in the Arctic, for example, raises concerns about the potential for catastrophic oil spills in a fragile ecosystem. The harsh conditions of these regions also pose risks to both workers and equipment. Additionally, deepwater drilling remains expensive, and the fluctuating price of oil can make such projects economically unviable at times.
Nonetheless, as global oil demand continues, the temptation to exploit these last frontiers will persist. The key for oil companies will be finding a balance between profitability, safety, and environmental responsibility.
Environmental Pressures and Regulatory Changes
The oil industry faces increasing scrutiny from environmental activists and governments alike. The global push to address climate change is leading to stricter regulations around oil exploration and production. Many countries are introducing carbon pricing, emissions caps, and other environmental regulations that increase the cost of doing business for oil companies.
In response, some oil companies are beginning to pivot toward greener alternatives. Several major oil producers have announced plans to become "carbon-neutral" by the middle of this century. For instance, companies like BP and Shell are investing in renewable energy projects and carbon capture technologies.
However, the shift to cleaner energy is challenging. The oil industry still faces significant resistance from environmental groups, and public sentiment is increasingly shifting against fossil fuels. In this climate, oil companies are likely to face more stringent environmental regulations in the future, making it harder to obtain permits for new exploration projects.
The Role of National Oil Companies
National oil companies (NOCs) such as Saudi Aramco, Russia's Rosneft, and Brazil's Petrobras play a critical role in global oil exploration. Unlike private oil companies, NOCs are often heavily subsidized by their governments, giving them excellent financial stability in times of fluctuating oil prices.
These companies are likely to continue leading exploration efforts, particularly in regions rich in untapped oil reserves. Many NOCs are also starting to invest in renewable energy as governments in oil-rich countries look to diversify their economies away from fossil fuel dependence.
However, the geopolitical dynamics of oil exploration are also shifting. As global powers vie for control over energy resources, oil exploration may become increasingly politicized, especially in regions like the Middle East, South America, and Africa.
Navigating a New Era of Exploration
The future of oil well exploration will be shaped by a confluence of technological innovation, environmental concerns, and shifting global energy demands. While the oil industry is unlikely to disappear anytime soon, it is clear that exploration efforts will need to evolve in response to these pressures.
Technological advances will make exploration more efficient and less environmentally damaging, but the challenges of exploring in remote and hostile environments will persist. Meanwhile, regulatory pressures and environmental activism will force the industry to rethink its approach to oil exploration.
As the world transitions to a more sustainable energy future, oil well exploration will remain an essential, though increasingly complex, endeavor. Oil companies that can adapt to this new landscape—by embracing technology, investing in greener alternatives, and navigating the regulatory environment—will be best positioned to thrive in the decades to come.
