Shell’s first summer nearly ended in disaster when they went to the Arctic. We find out if they are ready to take the challenge again.
Also, we talk to Energy Aspects’ geopolitical analyst Richard Mallinson about whether operators are protected from the political instability in Libya, discover more about the claims from The Center for Biological Diversity when they stated that fracking is ‘shrouded in secrecy’ and speak to Diane Austin, an anthropology professor at the University of Arizona about her work in researching the social impacts of an offshore lifestyle on the workers’ families and households.
Moreover, we speak to Michael Hall, senior geologist at Airbus Defence and Space to find out how planning researchers have begun working with satellite imaging technology to counteract the problems of pipeline routing, learn about enhanced oil recovery in the North Sea and look at how offshore operators have begun to weather the storm in the midst of the sanctions placed on Russia.
