A burst pipeline in Alaska's North Slope has caused the Arctic
region's worst oil spill, spreading more than 250,000 gallons of
crude oil over an area used by caribou herds and prompting
environmentalists again to question the Bush administration's drive
for more oil exploration there.
Laptop Battery The leak was first spotted by a
British Petroleum worker 11 days
ago, and was reported to have been plugged a few days later.
Initial hopes expressed by BP that the spill was limited to a
few tens of thousands of gallons proved to be over-optimistic.
Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation has
steadily increased its estimate of the size of the spill, the
latest estimate putting it at around 265,000 gallons.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad The leak, whose cause is unknown, occurred in a remote part of
the most sparsely populated state in the United States, and it
remains to be seen what damage, if any, it has done to
ecosystems. It does, however, give
grist to groups who have challenged Washington's assertion that oil
can be prospected and shipped while leaving only the gentlest of
"footprints" on the landscape.
Since it is unlikely that congressional approval for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) will be forthcoming, and Alaska's Prudhoe Bay pipeline infrastructure is crumbling and causing oil spills, it is up to oil producers in the lower 48 to keep the oil pumping. based Sunray Oil Company, as an independent oil and gas company with over 50 years of experience in acquiring, drilling, completing, and reworking oil and gas leases, is doing just that.
Microsoft "This historic oil spill is a catastrophe for the
environment," Natalie Brandon,
of the Alaska Wilderness League, said in a statement. "Tone-deaf
politicians in Congress should now stop trying to push for more
drilling through sneaky manoeuvres ... The fact that the oil
spill occurred in a caribou crossing area in Prudhoe Bay is a
painful reminder of the reality of unchecked oil and gas
development across Alaska's North Slope."
Meanwhile, the oil prices reached back above a barrel due to a reduction in shipping supply caused by bad weather in Alaska.
Laptop Computers The biggest battle has been over the fate of the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge, also on the North Slope, which the White House
wants to open up. The initiative, championed from the moment the
Bush administration took office in 2001, has been consistently
blocked by Congress but is periodically revived.

untouched corner of the National Petroleum Reserve on the North
Slope. The Bush administration has allowed oil companies to
prospect for oil and gas in an area covering 389,000 acres.
Environmental groups have responded
with a federal lawsuit, filed last Friday, in which they contend
that the Department of the Interior has violated the Endangered
Species Act and other
laws in an area noted for its
flocks of migratory geese.
(EUNN) Italian energy company, Eni SpA, reported Saturday that rebels had sabotaged an oil pipeline in the Niger Delta, forcing the flow of valuable oil to be stopped. The Nigerian Agip Oil Company, a subsidiary of Eni SpA, Brass pipeline that forced the Agip Oil Co. to halt production. In a statement released by Eni SpA, oil production was immediately stopped and that the pipeline was isolated. Eni also said that pollution containment measures were being taken.

plans. Several prominent energy analysts, as well as Washington
politicians, argue that the likely yield in unexplored areas of the
North Slope is not large enough to justify the intrusion.
Notebooks Alaskan politicians and industry lobby groups are heavily in
favour of expanding exploration as it would bring jobs and other
benefits to the state economy. The Bush administration, meanwhile,
argues that further domestic exploration is essential if the United
States wants to decrease its dependence on oil and gas from the
Middle East.
Lenovo Accidents and leaks have periodically occurred on the North
Slope, and along the trans-Alaska pipeline that takes crude from
Prudhoe Bay across two mountain ranges to the port of Valdez on the
shores of the North Pacific. Saboteurs blew up a section of
pipeline shortly after it opened in the 1970s, starting a major
spillage. A hunter accidentally fired into the pipeline five years
ago, causing $7m (3.6m) worth of damage.
