All the components of the industry such as oil and gas companies, drilling contractors, oilfield equipment suppliers and offshore fabricators experienced increased profits in 1997.

Drilling.

The optimism about 1998 and beyond is based on, among other things, a high utilization rate of offshore drilling rigs (near full capacity), a large number of new rigs under construction (e.g., largest number of mobile rigs since the 1980s), a surge in the construction of offshore supply vessels that support exploration drilling and field development activities, and an increase in spending by oil and gas companies on newly bid leases.

Deep borehole drilling

In the field of environmental protection, the Committee noted that a fibre optic sensor system was being used to evaluate fatigue on marine pipelines and risers, and on offshore drilling and oil production rigs.

It's a scientific drilling vessel.

Drilling should take two hours.

This is offshore.

That's four hours for the drilling alone.

What for? Because they're drilling, that's why.

He's right down there with those drilling crews.

VII. Offshore installations and structures

My point is that this is not oil drilling.

If you are a boy, why aren't you drilling?

The whole Japanese navy's anchored offshore.

The first offshore wells were called whales.

The first offshore drills were called harpoons.

Obviously, this would cause the cost of drilling to increase significantly.

The most common methods of deleting markings are grinding and drilling.

C. Pollution from offshore oil and gas activities

It was the greed and recklessness that led to the drilling explosion.

He stressed that much of the territory of Belize consisted of offshore islands and that a substantial proportion of its municipalities were located offshore.

It was six miles offshore and 1,250 feet down.

(b) Removal and disposal of offshore installations and structures

248. The offshore industry has essentially been self regulatory.

IMO has also been examining possible loopholes in the scope of application of SOLAS chapter XI 2 and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, which cover passenger ships, cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage and above that are engaged in international trade and mobile offshore drilling units not on station.

I could hear them all the way down the corridor above the drilling.

Medium concentrations in or offshore of Pinellas County have been reported in the past week, low to high concentrations offshore of Hillsborough County, background to high concentrations in Manatee County, background to high concentrations in or offshore of Sarasota County, background to medium concentrations in Charlotte County, background to high concentrations in or offshore of Lee County, and low concentrations in Collier County.

148. The UNU IIST offshore courses have three main objectives.

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.

While a regulatory overhaul of offshore drilling procedures and policies is clearly necessary, it will be insufficient to reduce the risk of spills and accidents if it is not accompanied by other demand side measures. For example, now is the time to begin reducing US oil demand through improved fuel economy standards and or progressive increases in fuel taxes.

But at the heart of this, is the offshore banking network.
