World’s high impact oil wells to be in Africa, Americas in ’21 7th February, 2021 11:37:56 NEW YORK: The majority of the world’s top 30 high-impact oil wells will be drilled in North and South America and in Africa this year, according to Rystad Energy. “These regions [the America and Africa] continue to be the hotspots for high-impact exploration, with 19 of the top 30 wells, seven in North America, six in South America and six in Africa,” the Oslo-based consultancy said in a new rep...

So a little perspective. imagine scouring chicago in the pitch dark. sit is it is a task that the u.s. navy admits will take two weeks to six months. you have ocean silt. those are just a few of the many challenges facing this piece of equipment. and tom foreman breaks down the other potential set backs that could affect the underwater search. tom? >> the challenges facing the crew operating the blue fin are really quite immense on the surface of the water. beneath the water it gets unbelievably...

Is there -- if they find nothing, closing up shot for a year, in the ocean, going back to just sheer science and then coming back with fresh eyes sometime later? >> they will have to do that. once they exhaust this area, the area surrounding the four pings and they are 17 miles apart. and obviously they will search all around the areas, but if they search all the area and they find nothing they will have to go back and regroup and see what else there is. thats all they have. >> thank you both ve...

That the communication tower picked up the call but it ended abruptly. we cant confirm any of this or actually, frankly, anything else regarding the malaysia airlines flight 370 of any kind at any time at all. crews do say that theyre investigating an oil slick not far from where they picked up these pings that are consistent with the planes black boxes. it will take a few days to determine if the oil is from the plane. heres some recent pictures on the monster wall. its called the fin 21. we ta...

Mary wants to know, the u.s. supplied the blue fin 21, cant another country supply the other one? what do you think? >> there are more than one, but they are owned by other people, private industry mostly and the australians said if they needed to get more they would ask for more but right now the u.s. navy has provided this one. they are very expensive and probably would have to be taken off of other jobs. there arent many. >> not many but more than one. rob canwants to know once this a is down...

Crews picked up under water sounds. but they havent heard any pings since tuesday. the editor of military.com. i thank you so much for joining us, sir. how would you describe the new technology? >> it is an unmanned underwater subas you said. it will take over where that towedpinger and found a ping and it was six days ago. we think it is the black boxes have run out of the batteries and map the sea floor in the area where the pings were heard. >> the understanding that the area which they are l...

Im optimistic that we will find the aircraft or what is left of the aircraft. in the not too distant future. >> now this marks the fourth time the signals have been detected. the first two over the weekend. the u.s. navy captain in charge of the pinger locator on that australian ship agrees a lot more methodical painstaking searching needs to be done but at least now they are narrowing in. >> i say we are more confident that we found the haystack. >> the next step is to let down the blue fz fin-...

Further signals. theyre trying to get as much information as possible until theyre absolutely certain that battery has completely run out. only then they say will they deploy the blue fin 21, the american provided underwater aton mouse vehicle to go down and try to look for any potential wreckage. but certainly, they are more confident about this location as being the most likely place where theyll find some wreckage. >> as you pointed out, the signal is getting weaker, and thats understandable ...

Actually say were closing in on not just the pinger but the wreckage. >> from what i understand, the ocean floor itself can make this a difficult search as well. can you explain that? >> well, this area is 15,000 feet, about 4500 meters. thats actually the limitations that the blue fin 21 has. theyre hoping that this is going to be within this range so they can map the bottom using auv. we haves got mountain ouster rain, well have bridges, valleys, gullies and we dont know where this would be in...
