| conocophillips fatality 2019: Guidelines for Writing Effective Operating and Maintenance Procedures CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety), 2011-11-30 The EPA investigation of a 1994 chemical plant tragedy concluded that the explosion resulted from a lack of written safe operating procedures...

| conocophillips fatality 2019: In the Dark Fan Zhang, 2018-12-12 Electricity shortages are among the biggest barriers to South Asia’sdevelopment. Some 255 million people—more than a quarter of the world’soff-grid population—live in South Asia, and millions of households and firmsthat are connected experience frequent and long hours of blackouts.Inefficiencies originating in every link of the electricity supply chain contributesignificantly to the power deficit. Three types of distortions lead to most of theinefficiencies: institutional distortions caused by state ownership and weakgovernance; regulatory distortions resulting from price regulation, subsidies,and cross-subsidies; and social distortions (externalities) causing excessiveenvironmental and health damages from energy use.Using a common analytical framework and covering all stages of power supply,In the Dark identifies and estimates how policy-induced distortions haveaffected South Asian economies. The book introduces two innovations. First, itgoes beyond fiscal costs, evaluating the impact of distortions from a welfareperspective by measuring the impact on consumer wellbeing, producer surplus,and environmental costs. And second, the book adopts a broader definition of thesector that covers the entire power supply chain, including upstream fuel supplyand downstream access and reliability.The book finds that the full cost of distortions in the power sector is far greaterthan previously estimated based on fiscal cost alone: The estimated totaleconomic cost is 4–7 percent of the gross domestic product in Bangladesh, India,and Pakistan. Some of the largest costs are upstream and downstream.Few other reforms could quickly yield the huge economic gains that powersector reform would produce. By expanding access to electricity and improvingthe quality of supply, power sector reform would also directly benefit poorhouseholds. The highest payoffs are likely to come from institutional reforms,expansion of reliable access, and the appropriate pricing of carbon and local airpollution emissions. |
| conocophillips fatality 2019: Refinery Town Steve Early, 2017-01-17 The People vs. Big Oil—how a working-class company town harnessed the power of local politics to reclaim their community With a foreword by Bernie Sanders Home to one of the largest oil refineries in the state, Richmond, California, was once a typical company town, dominated by Chevron. This largely nonwhite, working-class city of 100,000 suffered from poverty, pollution, and poorly funded public services. It had one of the highest homicide rates per capita in the country and a jobless rate twice the national average. But when veteran labor reporter Steve Early moved from New England to Richmond in 2012, he discovered a city struggling to remake itself. In Refinery Town, Early chronicles the 15 years of successful community organizing that raised the local minimum wage, defeated a casino development project, challenged home foreclosures and evictions, and sought fair taxation of Big Oil. A short list of Richmond’s activist residents helps to propel this compelling chronicle: • 94 year old Betty Reid Soskin, the country’s oldest full-time national park ranger and witness to Richmond’s complex history • Gayle McLaughlin, the Green Party mayor who challenged Chevron and won • Police Chief Chris Magnus, who brought community policing to Richmond and is now one of America’s leading public safety reformers Part urban history, part call to action, Refinery Town shows how concerned citizens can harness the power of local politics to reclaim their community and make municipal government a source of much-needed policy innovation. “Refinery Town provides an inside look at how one American city has made radical and progressive change seem not only possible but sensible.”—David Helvarg, The Progressive |

| conocophillips fatality 2019: Fire in the Night Stephen McGinty, 2010-11-23 The fire was visible from seventy miles away and the heat generated was so intense that a helicopter could only circle the rig at a perimeter of one mile. On the surface of the sea, a converted fishing trawler inched as close as possible, but the paint on the vessel’s hull blistered and burnt. In the water surrounding the inferno, men’s heads could be seen bobbing like apples as their yellow hard hats melted with the heat. On 6 July 1988 a series of explosions ripped through the Piper Alpha oil platform, 110 miles north-east of Aberdeen in the North Sea. Ablaze with 226 men on board, the searing temperatures caused the platform to collapse in just two hours. Only sixty-one would survive by leaping over 100 feet into the water below. Newly updated for the thirtieth year since the tragedy, Fire in the Night by journalist Stephen McGinty tells in gripping detail the devastating story of that summer evening. Combining interviews with survivors, witness statements and transcripts from the official inquiry into the disaster, this is the moving and vivid tale of what remains the worst offshore oil-rig disaster to date. |
| conocophillips fatality 2019: The First Billion Is the Hardest T. Boone Pickens, 2009-09-08 It’s Never Too Late to Top Your Personal Best. Both a riveting account of a life spent pulling off improbable triumphs and a report back from the front of the global-energy and natural-resource wars, The First Billion Is the Hardest tells the story of the remarkable late-life comeback that brought the famed oilman and maverick back from bankruptcy and clinical depression.

Boone Pickens’ sense of daring and innovation has never been sharper.”–Steve Forbes, president and CEO, Forbes Inc., and editor in chief of Forbes magazine |

| conocophillips fatality 2019: Ten Pathways to Death and Disaster Michael Quinlan, 2014 Why do mine disasters continue to occur in wealthy countries when major mine hazards have been known for over 200 years and subject to regulation for well over a century? What lessons can be drawn from these disasters and are mine operators, regulators and others drawing the correct conclusions from such events? Why is mining significantly safer in some countries than in others? Are the underlying causes of disasters substantially different from those that result in one or two fatalities?This book seeks to answer these questions by systematically analysing mine disasters and fatal incidents in five countries (Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the USA) since 1992. It finds that there are 10 pattern causes which repeatedly recur in these incidents, namely:engineering, design and maintenance flaws,failure to heed warning signs,flaws in risk assessment,flaws in management systems,flaws in system auditing,economic/reward pressures compromising safety,failures in regulatory oversight,worker/supervisor concerns that were ignored,poor worker/management communication and trust, andflaws in emergency and rescue procedures.The vast majority of incidents entailed at least three of these pattern causes and many exhibited five or more. The book also demonstrates these pattern deficiencies are not confined to mining but can be identified in other workplace disasters including aircraft crashes, oil-rig explosions, refinery and factory fires, and shipping disasters. At the same time, the examination finds no evidence to support other popular explanations of mine safety which focus on behaviour, culture or complex technologies. It finds that there is little to differentiate the failures that lead to single death or multiple deaths and 'disaster' studies would benefit from also examining near misses.The book examines why pattern causes have proved so resistant to intervention by governments while also identifying instances where lessons have been learned. How, for example, do governments strike a balance between prescriptive regulation and risk management/system-based approaches? Only by understanding and modifying the political economy of safety can these problems be addressed. It concludes by proposing an agenda for change that will address pattern causes and contribute to safe and productive work environments.

| conocophillips fatality 2019: Thinking Through Climate Change Adam Briggle, 2020-10-19 In this creative exploration of climate change and the big questions confronting our high-energy civilization, Adam Briggle connects the history of philosophy with current events to shed light on the Anthropocene (the age of humanity). Briggle offers a framework to help us understand the many perspectives and policies on climate change. He does so through the idea that energy is a paradox: changing sameness. From this perennial philosophical mystery, he argues that a high-energy civilization is bound to create more and more paradoxes. These paradoxes run like fissures through our orthodox picture of energy as the capacity to do work and control fate. Climate change is the accumulation of these fissures and the question is whether we can sustain technoscientific control and economic growth. It may be that our world is about change radically, imploring us to start thinking heterodox thoughts. |
