Food Supply Worries ofan Agricultural Scientist — Climate Change

People involved in world agriculture have no patience with the supposed “debate” about climate change. We are already seeing the effects, and the projections for the future are not encouraging.

The most troubling feature of this phenomenon (and one that occurs even if you don't believe that it is human-driven) is that we are facing increasing variation in climatic events. The yearly changes in average temperature or even annual rainfall may not be dramatic, but what we are anticipating is that there will be more extreme weather events.

Petrobras" investments are guaranteed until 2013

SÃO PAULO, 6/30/09 — The financial and investor relations director of Brazilian mixed-capital oil giant Petrobras, Almir Barbassa, said Monday that the company's investment plan is guaranteed until 2013.

Barbassa also mentioned that the company has been cutting down on costs and investments in order to ensure the exploration of the subsalt reserves. The executive pointed out that Petrobras” operating costs fell by 30% in the final quarter of 2008.

“We are also trying to cut down the equipment that will be used in the subsalt platform and lower labor costs by investing in automation”, Barbassa added.

Petrobras already has over US$30 billion in financing for its future oil and gas exploration and refining and gas transport infrastructure projects. “Petrobras expects to produce 5.7 million barrels of oil equivalent a day (boed) by 2020”, he added.

The 2009 production target is 2.7 million boed.

Criminal Intelligence Analysis

1 Criminal Intelligence Analysis (sometimes called

Crime Analysis) has been recognized by law enforcement as

a useful support tool for over twenty-five years and is

4 successfully used within the international community. Within

the last decade, the role and position of Criminal Intelligence

Analysis in the global law enforcement community has

7 fundamentally changed. Whereas previously there were a few

key countries acting as forerunners and promoters of the

discipline, more and more countries have implemented

10 analytical techniques within their police forces. International

organizations, such as INTERPOL, Europol and the

International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

13 (ICTY), all have Criminal Intelligence Analysts among their

personnel. The techniques are also widely used within private

sector organizations.

16 There are many definitions of Criminal Intelligence

Analysis in use throughout the world. The one definition

agreed in June 1992 by an international group of twelve

19 European INTERPOL member countries and subsequently

adopted by other countries is as follows: 'The identification of

and provision of insight into the relationship between crime

22 data and other potentially relevant data with a view to police

and judicial practice'.

The central task of Analysis is to help officials — law

25 enforcers, policy makers, and decision makers — deal more

effectively with uncertainty, to provide timely warning of

threats, and to support operational activity by analysing crime.

28 Criminal Intelligence Analysis is divided into

operational (or tactical) and strategic analysis. The basic skills

required are similar, and the difference lies in the level of

31 detail and the type of client to whom the products are aimed.

Operational Analysis aims to achieve a specific law

enforcement outcome. This might be arrests, seizure or

34 forfeiture of assets or money gained from criminal activities,

or the disruption of a criminal group. Operational Analysis

usually has a more immediate benefit. Strategic Analysis is

37 intended to inform higher level decision making and the

benefits are realized over the longer term. It is usually aimed

at managers and policy-makers rather than individual

40 investigators. The intention is to provide early warning of

threats and to support senior decision-makers in setting

priorities to prepare their organizations to be able to deal with

43 emerging criminal issues. This might mean allocating

resources to different areas of crime, increased training in a

crime fighting technique, or taking steps to close a loophole in

46 a process.

Both disciplines make use of a range of analytical

techniques and Analysts need to have a range of skills and

49 attributes.

How To Start A Career In The Oil And Gas Industry: What Employers Say

By Katie Weir

From Talent Acquisition Specialist, Campus

Talisman Energy

How to start your career, step by step

Fix up your resumé – take it to your career

centre at your university and they’ll help you.

Write a compelling cover letter that speaks to

your best qualities – save the pretentious language

5 for your English papers.

Join a professional association and attend

their events – if you feel uncomfortable attending

alone, try volunteering at them. By having a job to do,

it gives you an excuse to interact with the attendees,

10and an easy way to start up a conversation the next

time you see them.

Do your research – I can’t stress this enough. I

want students to apply to Talisman, not because we

have open jobs, but because they actually have an

15interest in what we’re doing, and want to be a part of it.

Be confident, but stay humble – it’s important

to communicate your abilities effectively, but it’s also

important to be conscious of the phrase: “sense of

entitlement.” This generation entering the workforce

20has already been branded with the word “entitlement,”

so students will need to fight against this bias from the

very beginning of any relationship with people in the

industry – be aware that you will need to roll up your

sleeves and work hard for the first couple years, and

25you will be rewarded in the end.

A Day in the Life of the Women of O&G

by Jaime Kammerzell

From Rigzone Contributor. Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Although far fewer women work in the oil and gas

(O&G) industry compared to men, many women find

rewarding careers in the industry. Five women were

asked the same questions regarding their career

5 choices in the oil and gas industry.

Question 1: Why did you choose the oil and gas

industry?

Woman 1: Cool technology, applying science and

money.

10Woman 2: It seemed interesting and the pay was

good.

Woman 3: They offered me a job! I couldn’t turn down

the great starting salary and a chance to live in New

Orleans.

15Woman 4: I did not really choose the oil and gas

industry as much as it chose me.

Woman 5: I chose the oil and gas industry because of

the challenging projects, and I want to be part of our

country’s energy solution.

20Question 2: How did you get your start in the oil

and gas industry?

Woman 1: I went to a university that all major oil

companies recruit. I received a summer internship with

Texaco before my last year of my Master’s degree.

25Woman 2: I was recruited at a Texas Tech Engineering

Job Fair.

Woman 3: At the time, campus recruiters came

to the geosciences department of my university

annually and they sponsored scholarships for

30graduate students to help complete their research.

Even though my Master’s thesis was more geared

toward environmental studies, as a recipient of one

of these scholarships, my graduate advisor strongly

encouraged me to participate when the time came for

35O&G Industry interviews.

Woman 4: I was working for a company in another

state where oil and gas was not its primary business.

When the company sold its division in the state

where I was working, they offered me a position at

40the company’s headquarters in Houston managing

the aftermarket sales for the company’s largest

region. Aftermarket sales supported the on-highway,

construction, industrial, agricultural and the oil and

gas markets. After one year, the company asked me

45to take the position of managing their marine and

offshore power products division. I held that position

for three years. I left that company to join a new startup

company where I hold the position of president.

Woman 5: My first job in the oil and gas industry was

50an internship with Mobil Oil Corp., in New Orleans.

I worked with a lot of smart, focused and talented

geoscientists and engineers.

Question 3: Describe your typical day.

Woman 1: Tough one to describe a typical day. I

55generally read email, go to a couple of meetings and

work with the field’s earth model or look at seismic.

Woman 2: I talk with clients, help prepare bids and

work on getting projects out the door. My days are

never the same, which is what I love about the job I

60have.

Woman 3: I usually work from 7:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

(although the official day is shorter). We call the field

every morning for an update on operations, security,

construction, facilities and production engineering

65activities. I work with my team leads on short-term

and long-term projects to enhance production (a lot of

emails and Powerpoint). I usually have 2-3 meetings

per day to discuss/prioritize/review ongoing or

upcoming work (production optimization, simulation

70modeling, drilling plans, geologic interpretation,

workovers, etc.). Beyond our team, I also participate

in a number of broader business initiatives and

leadership teams.

Woman 4: A typical day is a hectic day for me. My

75day usually starts well before 8 a.m. with phone

calls and emails with our facility in Norway, as well

as other business relationships abroad. At the office,

I am involved in the daily business operations and

also stay closely involved in the projects and the

80sales efforts. On any given day I am working on

budgets and finance, attending project meetings,

attending engineering meetings, reviewing drawings

and technical specifications, meeting with clients

and prospective clients, reviewing sales proposals,

85evaluating new business opportunities and making a

lot of decisions.

Woman 5: On most days I work on my computer

to complete my projects. I interpret logs, create

maps, research local and regional geology or write

90documents. I go to project meetings almost every day.

I typically work only during business hours, but there

are times when I get calls at night or on weekends

from a rig or other geologists for assistance with a

technical problem.

Historically, information security has been called a number of different things such as:

• Data security;

• IT Security;

• Computer security.

But these terms (except possibly data security) ignore the fact that the information that is held on the computers is almost always and most certainly worth many times more than the computers that it runs on. The correct term is ‘information security’ and typically information security comprises three component parts:

• Confidentiality. Assurance that information is shared only among authorised persons or organisations. Breaches of confidentiality can occur when data is not handled in a manner appropriate to safeguard the confidentiality of the information concerned. Such disclosure can take place by word of mouth, by printing, copying, e-mailing or creating documents and other data etc.;

• Integrity. Assurance that the information is authentic and complete. Ensuring that information can be relied upon to be sufficiently accurate for its purpose. The term ‘integrity’ is used frequently when considering information security as it represents one of the primary indicators of information security (or lack of it). The integrity of data is not only whether the data is ‘correct’, but whether it can be trusted and relied upon;

• Availability. Assurance that the systems responsible for delivering, storing and processing information are accessible when needed, by those who need them.
