Our customers are the world's oil companies ("operators"), and our sole job is to drilling fluids to move between the rig-at the water's surface-and the sea floor.
Oil Drilling in Arctic Ocean: A Push into Uncharted Waters As the U.S. and Russia take the first steps to drill for oil and gas in the Arctic Ocean, experts say the harsh climate, icy seas, and lack of infrastructure means a sizeable oil spill would be very difficult to clean up and could cause extensive environmental damage. Russia broke the ice, so to speak, in 2013 with its Prirazlomnaya project, the world's first stationary oil-drilling platform in the Arctic Ocean. Oil companies are also vying to drill in Arctic waters off Canada, Greenland and Norway, although fickle oil prices have dampened some enthusiasm lately. Offshore drilling for oil and gas threatens marine life, and pollution from burning those fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change and ocean acidification. Oceana is working to prevent the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States. Oil spills contribute about 12 percent of the oil that exists in the ocean. The other 88 percent is a product of shipping, travel, drains and dumping . Together, all of these harmful activities are consistently creating an unhealthy environment for our ocean-going creatures to inhabit. Offshore oil drilling is an oil extraction technique which allows oil companies to access deposits of oil buried under the ocean floor. Most typically, offshore drilling sites are situated over the continental shelf, although advancements in drilling technology have made platforms even further out to sea economically and physically feasible. Opponents of offshore oil drilling claim that one oil rig can "dump more than 90,000 metric tons of drilling fluid and metal cuttings into the ocean" over its lifetime (data from Culture Change). Although we are all aware of the effects of oil on seabirds, oil is also extremely toxic to marine life (see Pew Trusts' "The Future of Oil and Water
