The latter figure represents the full cost of capital items purchased in the period covered by the WBC Claim.

Recalling that the Panel of Commissioners for the well blowout control claim was appointed specifically in light of the claim apos s special nature and special circumstances,

This documentation is only a fraction of the documentation underlying the WBC Claim.

If you go to the site of the blowout, it looks pretty unbelievable.

The work described above is referred to by the Claimant as the Well Blowout Control ( WBC ) Exercise.

Accordingly, the WBC Claim as amended amounts to US 950,715,662.

The WBC Exercise was one of the priorities of this plan.

The bulk of the costs claimed in the WBC Claim were incurred in United States dollars.

This is an early on photograph you can see, we had these gushers.

The WBC Claim as amended by the Claimant can be analyzed as follows

The new US rules for offshore oil operations in the Arctic which forced Shell to postpone drilling until next year are certainly stricter than the old rules, and will reduce the risk of a blowout. But, if one occurs, the only reliable way to stop it and cap the well is to drill a relief well.

Meanwhile, the technology used at drilling and production platforms has developed tremendously, but the challenges regarding depth, weather, and sediment structure have grown even more, as easy to exploit oil fields have been exhausted. Blowouts have become the most troublesome type of oil spills, and in deep water they tend to continue for a considerable time because of the difficulties faced in containing them.

The Panel determines that the loss, damage or injury for which compensation is being sought in the WBC Claim is compensable in this Claim in the amount of US 610,048,547.

The costs incurred in the WBC Exercise include revenue expenditure as well as capital expenditure.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY THE PANEL OF COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED TO REVIEW THE WELL BLOWOUT CONTROL CLAIM

There is, however, one way to shorten the time required to cap a well to a matter of days drill two holes in parallel from the start. In case of a blowout in one hole, the other could quickly become the relief well.

Following a well blow out, Magma claimed losses for US 12.5 mil from Tugu under the policy.

Based on the evidence and testimony presented, the Panel finds that, although part of the damage for which compensation is being sought in the WBC Claim may be a result of the allied bombing, the bulk of the oil well fires were directly caused by the explosives placed on the wellheads and detonated by Iraqi armed forces.

Subsequent to the oral proceedings the Claimant amended the WBC Claim, which resulted in a reduction of the amount claimed by US 915,209.

The Claimant states that, upon the withdrawal of the Iraqi forces from Kuwait, out of a total of 914 operational wells in Kuwait, 798 wellheads had been detonated by the Iraqi forces, of which 603 were on fire, 45 were gushing oil but not on fire, and 150 although damaged were neither on fire nor gushing oil.

Drilling a release well finally did the job of stopping the flow of oil. Deepwater Horizon is still spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico, even though BP has succeeded in inserting a smaller pipe into the main leakage to suck off part of the flow.

The recommended dosage used for spraying is 1 2 grams (g) active ingredient per square meter (m²) of sprayed surface.

The purpose of the on site inspection was to review the accounts, invoices and other documentation underlying the WBC Claim that had not been submitted to the Commission.

Then the spray dries. It turns into powder.

Water's pumped from the lake and is filtered and shot as a fine mist through an array of high pressure fog nozzles, 35,000 of them. And a weather station is on the structure.

The Murais have gone back to Japan?

The situation is becoming intolerable. The authorities are trying to buy time, but time is running out.

The authorities are trying to buy time, but time is running out. The crisis is rapidly reaching a climax.

This issue and the related issue of the Claimant s standing to pursue the WBC Claim are considered by the Panel as preliminary issues.

Accordingly, no allowance was made by the Claimant to reflect any residual value of these items as at the end of the WBC Exercise.

In these circumstances the Panel determines that 80 per cent of the common KOC Al Awda costs are to be verified in the WBC Claim.

The Claimant states that, generally, the WBC Claim includes all costs incurred in connection with the preparation for, and the execution of, the WBC Exercise provided that they were paid by 31 July 1992, except in the case of post capping costs, which have been included, irrespective of the time of payment, provided that they were recorded by KOC s accounting department by 30 September 1992.

And to top it all off, Moriyama and I had to go get Shirai.

So the blowout in the Gulf is just a little piece of a much larger problem that we have with the energy that we use to run civilization.

So I think that the oil blowout, the bank bailout, the mortgage crisis and all these things are absolutely symptoms of the same cause.

The issue arose in the course of the proceedings as to whether the WBC Claim can properly be categorized as a category E (corporate) claim.

So I actually spray painted a whole bunch of them brown.

450. A drive to find cost effective methods to drill and complete wells in deepwater has led to the development work for a dual purpose drilling completing vessel with a dual derrick and dual rotary table.

The documentation that would enable the Panel to perform such verification is presented in KOC s Physical Assets Claim and thus is not before this Panel, which was appointed to review the WBC Claim only.

They've got fountains there that squirt you

To the extent that the costs claimed in the WBC Claim can be verified in the present proceedings, the Panel is satisfied, based on the evidence before it and the verification procedures employed, that these costs have in fact been incurred by the Claimant.

Second, the Panel must verify, using expert advice where necessary, that such costs have in fact been incurred by the Claimant in the execution of the WBC Exercise.

As the main driver of Chinese growth shifts from external to domestic demand, who could benefit more than Japanese exporters? China is already Japan s largest export market, leaving it ideally situated to capture additional market share in the coming surge of Chinese demand for consumer products and services.

You could do the same with a space spray.

In addition, some of the staff at the refugee camps received overtime or other allowances.
