Flows through the Strait in 2011 were roughly 35 percent of all seaborne traded oil, or almost 20 percent of oil traded worldwide. ”. They are a critical part of global energy security due to the high volume of oil traded through their narrow straits. million bbl/d was crude oil. Panama Canal. —US EIA.
has started shipping crude oil bound for the US West Coast through Petroterminal de Panama ( PTP )’s trans-Panama pipeline, marking the start of a seven-year transportation and storage agreement between BP and PTP. BP Products North America Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, BP has leased a total of 5.4
A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates heavy fuel oil (HFO) use, HFO carriage, the use and carriage of other fuels, black carbon (BC) emissions, and emissions of other air and climate pollutants for the year 2015, with projections to 2020 and 2025.

The ship received approximately 20,000 gallons of a 50-50 blend of an algae-derived, hydro-processed algal oil and petroleum F-76 from the Defense Fuel Supply Point at Naval Base Point Loma. and a Landing Craft, Air-Cushioned vessel demonstration scheduled for early December at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, Panama City, Fla.
Ten days and one unexpected detour after SpaceX drone ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) departed Port Canaveral, Florida for what could be the last time ever, the ship has arrived at the Panama Canal. The post SpaceX drone ship Of Course I Still Love You arrives at Panama Canal appeared first on TESLARATI.
The Unified Area Command for the response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill reported on Sunday that the Riser Insertion Tube Tool—one of several subsea options BP is developing—was successfully tested and inserted into the leaking riser Saturday night, capturing some amounts of oil and gas.

Second, LNG is, and has been, less expensive than MGO and is now in some regions cheaper than heavy fuel oil (HFO). Moreover, to comply with IMO’s 2020 global sulfur limit, ships must either switch from HFO to more expensive very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) or use HFO with a scrubber, if they have one installed.

The US Energy Information Administration recently updated its brief on world oil transit chokepoints—one of which is Egypt’s Suez Canal. They are a critical part of global energy security due to the high volume of oil traded through their narrow straits, the agency notes. million bbl/d of crude oil in 2007 to 1.1
This is a key milestone toward commercial scale production, with initial results showing comparable system performance in the scale-up from our 4 barrel/day pilot system in Panama City, Florida to the 100 BBL/day demonstration system in St. — Rob Sues, CEO of ARA. The technology is proven in mature pilot systems.
The new apple-shaped tanks constitute an improved version of high-reliability Moss-type tanks, and they have been adopted on the Sayaringo STaGE as part of MHI’s initiative to develop a vessel in the New Panamax category, i.e. capable of passing through the newly expanding Panama Canal which is expected to go into service early in 2016.
The CLH Group is the leading company engaged in the transport and storage of oil products in the Spanish market and the second-largest logistics operator in Europe in terms of the extension of its pipeline network and storage capacity. Plug Power says that its customers are currently the largest users of liquid hydrogen in the United States.
lol so it sounds like OCISLY will be piggybacking on MS1 from the Bahamas through the Panama Canal – and possibly all the way to Port of Long Beach. Mighty Servant 1 is a massive submersible heavy-lift ship. link] pic.twitter.com/e1AXFe2F8C — Eric Ralph (@13ericralph31) June 10, 2021.
Geophones are commonly used in the oil and gas industry for seismic surveying, where the seismic waves are artificially generated to probe the ground below. Actually, a whole community of (mostly) amateur seismologists had, using a Raspberry Pi–based device called a Raspberry Shake , developed in 2016 by a group in tectonically active Panama.
The boom in oil consumption following the Second World War led to ever-larger oil tankers, with sizes rising from 50,000 to 100,000 and 250,000 deadweight tonnes (dwt). Technically, it would have been possible, but such a ship would not fit through the Suez or Panama canals, and its draft would limit its operation to just a few ports.
Wisy currently has 16 employees, who work in Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, and the United States. Chen is based in Panama City. Employees 16 “We had customers in the oil-and-gas industry, as well as construction companies, dealing with similar problems,” she says. Founded 2016. Headquarters San Francisco.
Container ships (23%), bulk carriers (19%) and oil tankers (13%) accounted for more than half of CO 2 emissions. Ships registered to Panama (15%), China (11%), Liberia (9%), Marshall Islands (7%), Singapore (6%), and Malta (5%) were the largest emitters. These flags account for 66% of the global shipping fleet’s deadweight tonnage.
Improving the fuel efficiency of these vehicles can go a long way to reducing dependency on oil and lowering carbon emissions. As the backbone of domestic freight transportation, 18-wheelers haul 70% of all freight tonnage. The Department of Energy launched its first SuperTruck initiative in 2010.
Marine shipping fuels will get cleaner in 2020 when a regulation by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires a decrease in the allowable amount of sulfur in fuel oil from 3.5% Some key regions include China, Singapore, Panama, Brazil and coastlines of Asia, Africa and South America. —i.e., Reduction in annual PM 2.5
Most recently, drone ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) completed the first leg of its journey from Florida to California, arriving at the Panama Canal’s Atlantic locks on June 20th. That means that SpaceX could theoretically complete its first two dedicated polar Starlink launches next month if things go smoothly.
That study provided estimates of vessel traffic (numbers of vessels and transits) based on modeling of current vessel activity patterns, growth potential, and vessel projection scenarios, including diversion from other routes, and oil and gas development. The emissions report focuses on the low- and mid-range diversion scenarios—i.e.,
It is also flex so that future biomass fuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol can be used (no oil). Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car. Those cars will reduce oil demand at most by about 1/5th of one percent. — Volt Enthusiast 7.
Incremental well-to-wheels GHG emissions from WCSB Oil Sands Crudes Compared to Well-to-Wheels GHG Emissions from Displacing Reference Crudes Click to enlarge. Domestic production of crude oil has increased significantly, from approximately 5.5 million bpd in 2010 to 6.5 million bpd in 2012 and 7.5 million bpd by mid-2013. million bpd.
