Optimizing Energy Assets: The Role of Oil and Gas Valuations and Petroleum Consultants

Understanding Oil and Gas Valuations

Oil and gas valuations are critical for assessing the financial worth of reserves, infrastructure, and ongoing projects. These evaluations provide a foundation for key business decisions, including investments, divestitures, and mergers. Companies rely on advanced techniques like reserve-based assessments, cash flow analysis, and market trend forecasting to derive accurate asset valuations.

The insights gained from these assessments help businesses allocate resources effectively and identify high-yield opportunities. For instance, during market volatility, a well-structured valuation can reveal lucrative ventures while safeguarding against financial risks.

The Expertise of Petroleum Consultants

Synergizing Valuation and Consulting Services

The integration of oil and gas valuations with petroleum consulting creates a robust framework for energy projects. While valuations provide a snapshot of financial viability, consulting services offer actionable strategies to optimize operations. This synergy ensures that businesses can navigate industry complexities with confidence.

Consider the example of well design in offshore drilling. Accurate valuations enable cost-benefit analysis, while consultants provide technical expertise to execute the project efficiently. This dual approach reduces downtime, enhances safety, and boosts profitability.

Adapting to Industry Trends

The energy sector is constantly evolving, influenced by technological advancements, geopolitical dynamics, and environmental considerations. Companies must stay agile to remain competitive. By working with experienced consultants and leveraging thorough valuations, businesses can adapt to these shifts effectively.

offshore pipeline market size at USD 14.7 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects global offshore pipeline market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.12% reaching a value of USD 20.68 billion by 2029. Major growth factors of global offshore pipeline market include rising demand for crude oil and natural gas, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, as well as a growing emphasis on safe, cost-effective, and dependable connectivity for oil & gas exploration and transportation. Due to increased shale gas discoveries and exploration in the North American area, the gas pipeline segment is likely to drive demand in the offshore pipeline market. This is projected to increase demand for gas pipelines significantly. Also, the growing oil and gas imports through subsea (offshore) pipelines in the European and Asia-Pacific regions are likely to hold massive potential for the offshore pipeline market over the forecast period. However, high installation and maintenance costs of offshore pipelines and environmental concerns related to offshore drilling and pipeline operations are anticipated to hinder the overall market growth.

Global Offshore Pipeline Market – Overview

An offshore pipeline, also known as a submarine pipeline, is a pipeline that is constructed on the seabed or below the sea in a trench or primarily on land but in spots that cross water expanses to transport oil or gases. These pipes are built with sturdy constructions to resist the harshest environments while ensuring that production is not stopped and stays economically viable. Offshore Pipeline is an export pipeline that aids in the transportation of resources to shore. The global need for crude oil and natural gas transportation is driving the offshore pipeline industry.

Let's Stand Again With Standing Rock

It's time to take action and stop the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL)! It's been over six years since DAPL began carrying oil and nearly a year and a half since the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the pipeline operator Energy Transfer's attempt to avoid producing a required Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Today, in violation of a separate court order, DAPL continues to operate illegally, without a federal easement. Finally, after interminable delay, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finally released an extremely problematic draft EIS for public input.

That's where you come in. You now have just a few weeks to submit your public comment demanding the Corps shut this pipeline down and require a new, valid EIS. Please stand with Standing Rock in this critical moment and write to the Army Corps right now.

Now that the EIS has been released, we can confirm what we already suspected. Prepared by a member of the American Petroleum Institute -- clear conflict of interest -- the EIS addresses none of Standing Rock's many grave concerns about DAPL. Those include DAPL's imminent threat to the Missouri River, big problems with Energy Transfer's emergency response plans, Energy Transfer's horrendous safety track record, continued lack of transparency with Standing Rock throughout the environmental review process, inaccurate characterizations of tribal consultation, and sensitive habitat and sacred burial sites along the riverbank.

Earlier this year, four U.S. senators including Bernie Sanders submitted a letter to the Corps seeking an explanation. The reply from Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Michael Connor did not adequately or honestly address the tribe's complaints. Standing Rock replied, pointing out the flaws in approach and demanding redress.

For now, it's up to us to lend a hand. We must flood the Army Corps with a single, unified message: This illegal pipeline's operations must be terminated and the Army Corps must start over with a legitimate environmental review. In the midst of a climate emergency, let's defend sacred ground and safeguard Unci Maka (our Grandmother Earth). This may be our last, best chance to end DAPL once and for all. Please take action now.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

Support for wind power and solar energy among Republicans has dropped significantly since 2020, as older Republicans in particular soured on renewable energy sources, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

Still, a clear majority of Americans, 63 percent, want the country to stop adding carbon dioxide from the burning of oil, gas and coal to the atmosphere by 2050, the study found. That’s the goal that scientists say all major economies must reach to avoid the most deadly effects from climate change. To that end, 78 percent want more solar energy while 72 percent want more wind power, the survey found.

But that marks a softening in public support for renewable energy, driven by Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, whose approval of clean energy started to fall sharply after President Biden took office in 2021, according to Pew.

In the new survey, 64 percent of Republicans said they favor more solar farms, down from 84 percent the year Mr. Biden was elected. Similarly, 56 percent of Republicans said they support more wind turbine farms, down from 75 percent in 2020. Over the same period, support among Democrats for wind and solar remained high and steady.

“This is a sizable and significant change,” said Alec Tyson, associate director of research at Pew Research Center. “It’s a new level of polarization on energy issues that we had not previously seen.”

The public’s appetite for electric vehicles has also fallen, with just 29 percent of Americans saying they would consider an E.V. for their next purchase, down from 38 percent in 2023.

The future of clean energy and electric vehicles is at stake in this year’s fight for the White House between former President Donald J. Trump, who has dismissed global warming as a “hoax” and wants the country to continue to produce record amounts of oil and gas, and President Biden, who wants the country to pivot away from the fossil fuels that are driving climate change.

In 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, or the I.R.A., the nation’s most ambitious climate law, which invests at least $370 billion in the manufacturing of electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels and other renewable power. It also provides rebates to consumers who buy E.V.s, heat pumps and other clean energy technology. Mr. Biden has also used environmental regulations to limit the pollution from tailpipes and smokestacks.

All of that became fodder for Republicans, led by Mr. Trump and the fossil fuel industry, who have spent the past four years attacking renewables while promoting oil and gas. The American Petroleum Institute, a trade group, is running an eight figure advertising campaign that portrays fossil fuels as vital to the country’s prosperity. A group of Republican attorneys general has been challenging the Biden administration’s environmental regulations in a series of lawsuits.

The Pew study found that when it comes to energy policy, the gap between Democrats and Republicans has only widened since 2020.

In May 2020, 91 percent of Democrats said the national priority should be developing renewable energy, compared with 65 percent of Republicans.

Four years later, that gap has ballooned, due almost entirely to changing views among Republicans. Just 38 percent of Republicans now say renewable energy should be prioritized.

At the same time, the share of Republicans who believe that priority should be given to developing oil, coal and natural gas has grown from 35 percent to 61 percent, the survey found.

“Solar and wind are code for Democrat,” said Mike Murphy, a Republican political consultant and founder of EVRepublicans.org, which tries to build support for electric vehicles among Republicans. “We’ve started to apply political identities to things that shouldn’t have political identities.”

The Ultimate Guide to ESG Investing: Strategies and Benefits 

Socio-economic and environmental challenges can disrupt ecological, social, legal, and financial balance. Consequently, investors are increasingly adopting ESG investing strategies to enhance portfolio management and stock selection with a focus on sustainability. This guide delves into the key ESG investing strategies and their advantages for stakeholders. 

What is ESG Investing? 

ESG investing involves evaluating a company's environmental, social, and governance practices as part of due diligence. This approach helps investors gauge a company's alignment with humanitarian and sustainable development goals. Given the complex nature of various regional frameworks, enterprises and investors rely on ESG data and solutions to facilitate compliance auditing through advanced, scalable technologies. 

Detailed ESG reports empower fund managers, financial advisors, government officials, institutions, and business leaders to benchmark and enhance a company's sustainability performance. Frameworks like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) utilize globally recognized criteria for this purpose. 

However, ESG scoring methods, statistical techniques, and reporting formats vary significantly across consultants. Some use interactive graphical interfaces for company screening, while others produce detailed reports compatible with various data analysis and visualization tools. 

ESG Investing and Compliance Strategies for Stakeholders 

ESG Strategies for Investors 

Investors should leverage the best tools and compliance monitoring systems to identify potentially unethical or socially harmful corporate activities. They can develop customized reporting views to avoid problematic companies and prioritize those that excel in ESG investing. 

High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) often invest in sustainability-focused exchange-traded funds that exclude sectors like weapon manufacturing, petroleum, and controversial industries. Others may perform peer analysis and benchmarking to compare businesses and verify their ESG ratings. 

Today, investors fund initiatives in renewable energy, inclusive education, circular economy practices, and low-carbon businesses. With the rise of ESG databases and compliance auditing methods, optimizing ESG investing strategies has become more manageable. 

Business Improvement Strategies 

Companies aiming to attract ESG-centric investment should adopt strategies that enhance their sustainability compliance. Tracking ESG ratings with various technologies, participating in corporate social responsibility campaigns, and improving social impact through local development projects are vital steps. 

Additional strategies include reducing resource consumption, using recyclable packaging, fostering a diverse workplace, and implementing robust cybersecurity measures to protect consumer data. 

Encouraging ESG Adoption through Government Actions 

Governments play a crucial role in educating investors and businesses about sustainability compliance based on international ESG frameworks. Balancing regional needs with long-term sustainability goals is essential for addressing multi-stakeholder interests. 

For instance, while agriculture is vital for trade and food security, it can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. Governments should promote green technologies to mitigate carbon risks and ensure efficient resource use. 

Regulators can use ESG data and insights to offer tax incentives to compliant businesses and address discrepancies between sustainable development frameworks and regulations. These strategies can help attract foreign investments by highlighting the advantages of ESG-compliant companies. 

Benefits of ESG Investing Strategies 

Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience 

The lack of standardization and governance can expose supply chains to various risks. ESG strategies help businesses and investors identify and address these challenges. Governance metrics in ESG audits can reveal unethical practices or high emissions among suppliers. 

By utilizing ESG reports, organizations can choose more responsible suppliers, thereby enhancing supply chain resilience and finding sustainable companies with strong compliance records. 

Increasing Stakeholder Trust in the Brand 

Consumers and impact investors prefer companies that prioritize eco-friendly practices and inclusivity. Aligning operational standards with these expectations can boost brand awareness and trust. 

Investors should guide companies in developing ESG-focused business intelligence and using valid sustainability metrics in marketing materials. This approach simplifies ESG reporting and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. 

Optimizing Operations and Resource Planning 

Unsafe or discriminatory workplaces can deter talented professionals. A company's social metrics are crucial for ESG investing enthusiasts who value a responsible work environment. 

Integrating green technologies and maintaining strong governance practices improve operational efficiency, resource management, and overall profitability. 

Conclusion 

Global brands face increased scrutiny due to unethical practices, poor workplace conditions, and negative environmental impacts. However, investors can steer companies towards appreciating the benefits of ESG principles, strategies, and sustainability audits to future-proof their operations. 

As the global focus shifts towards responsible consumption, production, and growth, ESG investing will continue to gain traction and drive positive change.

The Complete Tattoo Aftercare Guide

So you finally got that incredible tattoo you've been dreaming of! Now comes the crucial part: ensuring it heals properly and maintains its vibrant colors for years to come. Fear not, fellow ink enthusiast, for this comprehensive aftercare guide will equip you with everything you need to know.

The First 48 Hours:

The Big Reveal: After a few hours, your artist will remove the initial bandage. Resist the urge to peek beforehand! This initial bandage protects the fresh tattoo from contamination.

Gently Cleanse: Once the bandage is off, gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free, antibacterial soap. Pat the area dry with a clean, paper towel (avoid using towels that could harbor bacteria).

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of a fragrance-free, alcohol-free ointment or lotion recommended by your tattoo artist. Petroleum jelly is generally not recommended as it can trap moisture and impede healing. Keep the tattoo moist, but not soaking wet.

Wrap It Up (Maybe): Depending on your artist's instructions and the tattoo's location, you might need to re-bandage the area loosely for sleeping to prevent snagging on sheets.

The Healing Journey (Days 3-14):

Cleanse and Moisturize: Continue the cleansing and moisturizing routine 2-3 times a day. Be gentle and avoid harsh scrubbing.

Listen to Your Skin: Your tattoo might itch as it heals. Resist the urge to scratch! Scratching can irritate the skin and potentially damage the ink. Try a gentle pat or apply a cool compress for itch relief.

Keep it Breathable: Let your tattoo breathe whenever possible. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing that rubs against the area.

Sun's Out, Buns Out? Not Quite: The sun is your tattoo's worst enemy during healing. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) whenever the tattooed area is exposed to sunlight.

Beyond the Initial Weeks:

Long-Term Hydration: Even after the initial healing phase, keeping your skin hydrated is crucial for maintaining vibrant tattoos. Incorporate a fragrance-free lotion into your daily routine.

Sun Protection Forever: Sun exposure can cause fading and discoloration. Make sunscreen your best friend, especially when outdoors.

Listen to Your Body: If you experience excessive redness, swelling, or pus discharge, consult a doctor immediately. These could be signs of infection.

Lifestyle Matters: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact healing and ink vibrancy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is beneficial for both your body and your tattoos.

Bonus Tip: Avoid soaking your tattoo in baths, hot tubs, or pools for extended periods during the healing process.

Remember: Every tattoo heals differently, and your artist might provide specific aftercare instructions. Following their guidance and these general tips will ensure your new tattoo heals beautifully and becomes a cherished part of your story.

Happy healing!

What Can I Do To Protect Pipes From Corrosion On The Inside?

Internal pipe corrosion is a major issue for many oil and gas companies with a whopping estimated global cost of around $2.5 trillion. Pipelines carry natural resources such as oil, gas, chemicals, and petroleum to related companies and production plants from specified locations. Sadly, these intricate structures are highly prone to rust and corrosion over time.  

Luckily companies such as DISTEK specialize in resolving these issues through Corrosion resistance coating. We have nailed down some effective methods to keep your pipe in optimal condition and avoid future problems. 

Preventive Measures For Pipe Corrosion 

Corrosion is one of those problems that worsen over time if we don't fix it. If we ignore it it can pose serious problems for buildings and the environment. The good news is that there are different ways to prevent excessive corrosion in pipes. These methods help to avoid serious problems and keep them safe. 

Keeping A Close Eye On Pipeline Health 

The first step in preventing pipe corrosion is to conduct regular inspections. This allows you to identify any signs of corrosion at an early stage and take appropriate action. Inspect the visible sections of your pipes for any discoloration, flaking, or pitting. In addition to inspections, regular maintenance is crucial. Consider hiring a professional plumber to clean your pipes and remove any built-up deposits. This can help prolong the lifespan of your pipes and prevent corrosion.

Provide Protective Coating 

Another effective way to protect your pipes from corrosion is by applying a protective Corrosion resistance coating. Thermo-diffusion coatings are often used to create a barrier between the metal pipe and the water flowing through it. 

This coating can prevent contact between the metal and corrosive substances, thus reducing the risk of corrosion. Consult a professional plumber for the most suitable coating option and ensure it is applied correctly for maximum effectiveness.

Use Corrosion-Resistant Pipes

When replacing or installing new pipes, choose corrosion-resistant materials. Stainless steel, copper, and plastic pipes are ideal options since they are less prone to corrosion than typical iron or steel pipes. Keep in mind that using the proper pipe material can greatly reduce corrosion risk and extend the life of your plumbing system.

Protecting pipes from internal corrosion is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of your plumbing system. At DISTEK, we are dedicated to providing top-quality Corrosion resistance coating for steel products. 

Our Corrosion resistance coating can help you safeguard your pipes and ensure their longevity. Don't let corrosion wreak havoc on your plumbing system, choose us for reliable and effective pipe protection.

Seven Step Dog Health Checkup at Home

Dogs don’t always make it easy for us to figure out what’s going on with them but keeping an eye on their health is an essential job of being a pet parent. One way you can stay in tune with your dog’s health is with regular dog health checks at home.

Before you start the exam, take a good look at your dog when they’re just hanging out; observe their posture and general demeanor. Getting a good picture of your dog’s “normal” in a relaxed environment will help you pick up any subtle changes that may occur. After a home checkup, you can consult your veterinarian if you’re concerned about any exam finding; early recognition can save your dog’s life.

1. Take their temperature

Using a digital rectal thermometer (the ear type is less reliable, and mercury thermometers can break), lubricate the end with petroleum jelly and gently insert it into the rectum, about 1 inch for small dogs and about 2 inches for larger ones. If it does not slide in easily, do not force it. A normal dog’s body temperature is between 100º and 102.5º F.

2. Check their heart rate

Take their pulse at the femoral artery, which you’ll find on the inside of their thigh; feel for the roll of the artery and a pulsing sensation. Count the number of pulses in 15 seconds and multiply by four. A dog’s pulse rate is highly variable, but generally, normal dog heart rate is 80 to 120 beats per minute. Relaxed, large-breed or athletic dogs tend to have slower rates, while the rate for puppies and small dogs tends to be higher.

3. Start at their head

Nose: smooth, soft and clean, like supple leather (noses aren’t necessarily always cool or moist). Eyes: bright, moist and clear, with pupils equal in size; the whites should be white, with only a few visible blood vessels. Ears: clean and dry, almost odor-free; you should be able to gently massage them without complaint. Mouth: teeth clean and white, gums uniformly pink and moist to the touch.

4. Watch their chest as they breathe

The chest wall should move in and out easily and rhythmically in an effortless way; each breath should look the same as the last. (Unless they’re panting, you should not be able to hear your dog breathe.) A normal dog’s resting respiration rate is 15 to 30 breaths per minute; a sleeping or relaxed dog would be near the low end, while an active and engaged dog would be higher. As with heart rates, smaller dogs tend to have a faster resting breathing rate than larger dogs.

5. Examine their skin.

One of the body’s major organs and an important indicator of overall health, the skin of a healthy dog is soft and unbroken, with minimal odor and—except for wirehaired breeds—the hair coat is shiny and smooth.

6. Check their hydration with the skin turgor test.

Pull the skin over their neck or back into a “tent” and release; it should return quickly to its original position. If it returns slowly, or remains slightly tented, your dog may be dehydrated.

7. Finish up with the torso.

Starting just behind the ribs, gently press your hands into your dog’s belly; if they’ve just eaten, you may feel an enlargement in the left part of the belly just under the ribs (where the stomach lives), which can be normal. Proceed toward the rear of their body, passing your hands gently over the entire area. Lumps, bumps or masses; signs of discomfort; or distention of the belly warrant further investigation by your vet.

How to prepare skin before applying Lukewarm Glycolic Solution?

Before applying a Lukewarm Glycolic Solution, it is important to properly prepare your skin to achieve the best results and minimize the risk of complications. Here are some steps to follow for preparing your skin before applying a lukewarm peeling solution: 

Cleanse your skin: Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin. This will help to ensure that the peeling solution can penetrate your skin effectively. 

Test a small area: Before applying the lukewarm glycolic solution to your entire face, test a small area of skin to see how your skin reacts to the solution. Apply a small amount of the solution to your inner forearm or behind your ear, and wait 24 hours to see if there is any adverse reaction. 

Protect sensitive areas: Apply petroleum jelly or a barrier cream to areas of your skin that are particularly sensitive or prone to irritation, such as around the eyes, nostrils, and lips. 

Avoid exfoliating: Refrain from using any exfoliating products or treatments in the 24 to 48 hours before applying the peeling solution. This will help to prevent over-exfoliation and reduce the risk of irritation. 

Avoid direct sunlight: Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing a hat, sunglasses, and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. It is important to avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours before and after using a peeling solution. This is because the sun can increase skin sensitivity, making it more vulnerable to irritation and damage. 

Rinse and moisturize: After the recommended time, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and then apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe and hydrate your skin. 

Use a sunscreen: If you must be outdoors, be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. 

Be gentle: When cleansing and applying the peeling solution, be gentle and avoid rubbing or tugging on your skin. This can cause irritation and make your skin more sensitive. 

Don't use on broken or irritated skin: If you have any cuts, scrapes, or other injuries on your skin, avoid using a peeling solution until the area has healed completely. 

Follow the instructions: Always follow the instructions provided with the lukewarm peeling solution, including how much to apply, how long to leave it on, and how often to use it. Overuse of a peeling solution can damage your skin and lead to complications. 

Remember to be gentle with your skin and listen to your skin's reactions during and after the application of a lukewarm peeling solution. If you experience any pain, redness, or excessive peeling, stop using the solution and consult a skincare professional.

What is Value-added Tax Reduction Policy in 2022?

In order to stimulate growth and recover the economy after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government has issued a policy to reduce value added tax. The reduction of value-added tax is an effective solution and tool to stimulate consumption and is expected to create a driving force for rapid development to help businesses restore business and production.

The value-added tax reduction policy has been promulgated by Decree 15/2022/ND-CP stipulating the tax exemption and reduction policy according to the National Assembly’s Resolution No. 43/2022/QH15 on fiscal and monetary policies currency to support the program of socio-economic recovery and development. Accordingly, value added tax will be reduced from 10% to 8%. This reduction will create conditions for consumers to increase spending, through which businesses will sell more products.

The value-added tax reduction will be applied to groups of goods and services currently subject to the 10% tax rate, except for the following groups of goods and services: (i) Telecommunications, financial and banking activities commodities, securities, insurance, real estate trading, metals and prefabricated metal products, mining products (excluding coal mining), coke, refined petroleum, chemical products; (ii) Products, goods and services subject to excise tax; (iii) Information technology under the law on information technology. However, if the goods and services are not subject to value-added tax or subject to value-added tax of 5% according to the provisions of the Law on Value-Added Tax, the provisions of the Law on Value-Added Tax shall be applied and not entitled to value added tax reduction.

It is important to note the value-added tax calculation method to apply. Accordingly, if the enterprise calculates value-added tax by the deduction method, the value-added tax rate of 8% shall apply; and in case the enterprise calculates value-added tax according to the percentage method on sales, collected, it will be reduced by 20% of the percentage rate for calculating value-added tax when issuing invoices for goods and services eligible for value-added tax reduction as prescribed.

The value-added tax reduction will be implemented quickly and businesses and consumers will immediately benefit. This tax reduction is expected to help reduce the cost of products and services, thereby stimulating consumer demand. Besides, it will help increase production output of enterprises and create more jobs for workers. Therefore, the reduction of value added tax is considered necessary solutions to promote the economy to recover soon after a long time affected by the pandemic.

The value-added tax reduction policy will be effective from February 1st, 2022 to the end of December 31st, 2022. Previously, value-added tax was only reduced for a few specific products, but with this policy, the object of tax reduction has been expanded in most fields of business and production. Therefore, the impact of this policy on the economy in the future is very large. However, in order for the value-added tax reduction to reach consumers, tax authorities need stricter inspection and control to meet the set goals. When in doubt, it is important to consult with tax lawyers in Vietnam for solutions and advice.
