obama allows Brazil to drill in the gulf never mind about the ban

[edthecynic]

A perfect lesson on how CON$ lie. When caught lying as above, CON$ just keep on lying.

You've already admitted the Brazil permit was the SECOND, the first went to an AMERICAN oil company. So did the 3rd and 4th!!!!!!!

Who has been issued a 3rd and 4th drilling permit? What companies with a source, other than your opinion.

This is a perfect example of why GOP hate radio is so confident in lying to CON$. They know that CON$ are too lazy to research anything for themselves. You could easily google the answer for yourself, but as a CON$ervative you demand someone else do the work for you, even though you provided no back up for your lie that permits were not given to American oil companies when the first permit went to an American oil company and you admitted the Brazil permit was the SECOND. You should have required YOURSELF to prove that the FIRST permit went to a foreign oil company before you decided to lie in public.

Exxon Mobil lands a permit for deep Gulf drilling | Business | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON — The government on Tuesday gave Exxon Mobil Corp. approval to drill a new Gulf of Mexico oil well that had been blocked by last year's ban on some deep-water drilling.
It is the fourth deep-water well of its kind to be approved since that moratorium was lifted in October, and the first that will rely on equipment from the Houston-based Marine Well Containment Co. to respond to any blowout at the site.
The permit allows Exxon Mobil to drill a well in 6,941 feet of water in the company's Hadrian North field about 240 miles from the Louisiana coast.


Exxon Mobil was close to launching drilling at the site before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill at BP's Macondo well last April. Exxon Mobil already had secured a permit to drill and had a rig on location when the work was suspended under the administration's ban.
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement that issued the permit has focused on restarting 57 deep-water drilling projects that were approved before last year's spill, including 16 where drilling had already begun.
The three other deep- water projects approved since Feb. 28 - for operators Noble Energy, BHP Billiton and ATP Oil & Gas - were among those 16.
The ocean energy bureau did not subject the Exxon Mobil project to heightened environmental scrutiny because it had been approved before the ban. By contrast, newly proposed drilling - like three deep-water wells in a Shell Oil Co. offshore exploration plan approved on Monday - is undergoing environmental assessments by the agency.
Exxon Mobil said in a prepared statement that it supports the agency's "efforts to restart safe drilling in the Gulf of Mexico so that tens of thousands of Americans can return to work."
To win the permit, Exxon Mobil had to prove to regulators it could swiftly control any blowout at the site by using the Marine Well Containment Co.'s capping stack and other equipment.
The Marine Well Containment Co.'s current suite of equipment is designed to contain up to 60,000 barrels per day in wells in water up to 8,000 feet deep, but an expanded system under development could be used in up to 10,000 feet of water.
Exxon Mobil was one of the major oil companies - along with Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillips - that formed the MWCC after last year's spill. Others have joined since.
A separate organization, Helix Well Containment Group, also has developed a subsea well containment system.
Twenty-two deep-water oil and gas operators have contracted to use the Helix system in case of an emergency - including the three besides Exxon Mobil that have obtained permits since Feb. 28.
Michael Bromwich, the ocean energy bureau director, noted that the pace of approving deep-water projects had sped up in recent weeks, "since the industry confirmed its capability to contain a deep-water loss of well control and blowout."

Well congratulation you got your source yesterday. Dates 3/22/11

You asked for the names of the 3rd and 4th permit approvals, so I picked that news story because it named all the permit approvals and the Exxon permit number 4 was approved yesterday.

So please explain how the date of the article makes you less of a liar when you said that because the SECOND permit went to a Brizalian company there were no permits given to American oil conpanies when the article points out that the FIRST permit went to the Houston based company Nobel Energy?!!!!!

Fuck you Do you have anything else that Ameican oil companies were given permits before the date of your source? That is the fucking difference. An you use the word liar like yoiu have somethiung to hide yourself. You have nothing else.

As I have pointed out many times before, when CON$ are caught lying they play dumb and then they just keep on lying. BTW, your OP link is dated the same 3/22/11, so I guess that disqualifies that source too!

The Houston TEXAS based Noble Energy got their permit approved 2/28/11, Petrobras got theirs approved 3/11/11, Houston TEXAS based ATP Oil & Gas Corp got the 3rd permit approved on 3/18/11, and EXXON was approved 3/22/11.

Do you have any proof that Noble Energy, ATP, and Exxon are foreign oil companies, which is what you need to support your lie that only foreign oil companies were given permits since the moratorium was lifted other than your worthless opinion, that's the REAL difference

And this is the reason he's is allowing them to drill.

I think Obama has given in to pressure. He's starting to grant drill permits, but only 3 or 4, just to silence his critics. Meanwhile he has effectively shut down oil prodution, cost thousands of jobs with his ban, and helped raise prices at the pump.

FYI, granting a permit to drill does not mean he will allow those wells to be productive. He can simply reenstate the ban whenever he chooses. The goal is to slow down the process when you can't stop it which serves the same purpose....raising the cost of oil products to the consumer.

You have to admire the sheer pigheadedness of CON$! No matter how wrong you show them to be, they still insist they were Right all along.

Getting the permits was a matter of the oil companies showing they could manage a spill quickly and effectively. But that doesn't serve the perverted hate essential to CON$ervatism so bullshit propaganda is fabricated and that becomes CON$ervative dogma.

FYI, it is the oil monopoly that does not allow the wells to be productive to limit supply by capping the new wells as they are found, therefore the oil monopoly is solely responsible for the high prices. That's how the Monopolistic Capitalism CON$ love and defend so much works, so stop your whining, sucker!

Looks like you're whining. You're the one complaining about this issue now.

What's the best way to shut down drilling/production? Impose expensive EPA requirements on them. Make it more cost-effective for them to drill elsewhere. How bout Brazil? Libya is a bit dicey right now. This is how they raised the cost of R-22 refrigerant from $50 a gal to currently $200 a gal.

33 deep water drilling projects were put on hold during the ban. After the BP(another foriegn owned company drilling in the Gulf) oil spill, the President did decide to continue the ban on exploration of the outer continental shelf.

What controls the price of oil? Speculators predicting supply and demand.

 

[BlindBoo]

First, the Brasilian have discovered oil off their own coast not in America's gulf coast waters. Second, by using the U.S. Export-Import Bank the President indeed ensures Americans and American companies are involved in the new finds. That means more jobs for Americans.

US Production of crude oil has increases and the 33 deep water wells in the Gulf currently under being held up for safety concerns has not stopped the rig count and producing well count from increasing.

so

So? The OP was a lie plain and simple.

And as such the moratorium had little or no effect last year. The current rise is due to the unrest in the ME not the ban. If any thing with the governement issuing new permits now for the deep water rigs to drill there should be some downward pressure.

Word here in oil country is that 13,000 high paying oil field jobs are gone due to his policies, probably wants to get some union slack offs down here........ screw that punk and his idiot cabinet.

Got a source for that 13,000 job figure?

Funny which part of the Oil Patch? Upstream, Midstream or Downstream?

News from Houston is the the jobs are up in the sector despite the 33 drilling projects that have been shut down in the Gulf.

http://www.instituteforenergyresear...ason-Economic_Cost_of_Offshore_Moratorium.pdf

Thank you. The good professor was a little high on most all fronts. Specifically the nearly 8,000 workers on the existing deep water rigs did not loose their jobs, only about 2,000 of them did. He was correct in that the spending from these rigs did do downstream damage to service providers, but the economic cost of the loss of jobs to the area was minimize by BP's relief efforts.

Hate to break this to you but our own President is not our friend. He's the one that hates this country and wants it to fail. He rarely says anything good about it. If Obama fails we win.

Btw, Congress controls the purse but the White House makes policy thus controls regulatory reform.

Obama's actions helped raise the price of oil due to various factors. One of them is our dependence on foreign oil. Another is the shrinking of the dollar. Nevermimd his shortsightedness when he encouraged Mubarak's ouster which led to the current situation in Libya.

Hate to break this to you but our own President is not our friend. He's the one that hates this country and wants it to fail. He rarely says anything good about it. If Obama fails we win.

Btw, Congress controls the purse but the White House makes policy thus controls regulatory reform.

please explain how Obama hates the US he saved our economy from colapsedwe still have a working government , has he said this ? how many war has he gotten us into ?

And as such the moratorium had little or no effect last year. The current rise is due to the unrest in the ME not the ban. If any thing with the governement issuing new permits now for the deep water rigs to drill there should be some downward pressure.

Obama's actions helped raise the price of oil due to various factors. One of them is our dependence on foreign oil. Another is the shrinking of the dollar. Nevermimd his shortsightedness when he encouraged Mubarak's ouster which led to the current situation in Libya.

US production of Crude oil is up and our Importing of Crude oil is down.

If you say so sparky!!

So far one, but the year is young. But we aren't allowed to call it a war. It's just the Libyan Thingy.

We may have a working government but not a working President.

Obama did nothing to save the economy. Evidence is coming to light that he and his associates may have had a hand in it's near collapse, and are currently planning another in May.
