Report reveals earlier problems at North Sea gas site

The Elgin drilling platform in the North Sea has been leaking natural gas since 25 March, and is still at risk of catching fire or even exploding.

Total, the company in charge of the platform, had already experienced problems at the site. A report written by one of its drilling managers and published last year describes how difficult it is to pump gas from the deep Elgin field. It even explains exactly how drilling operations can damage the wells in ways that may have led to this week's leak.

Demand for natural gas has risen steadily over the last 30 years, and global gas production has more than doubled in that time. Gas producers like Total have turned to increasingly difficult reserves to meet those demands.

The Elgin field is one of those difficult reserves. At 5500 metres it is among the deepest active gas fields in the North Sea. Temperatures there reach 200 ?C and the gas is under 1100 bars of pressure. Last year's report explains that working with this kind of high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) field is a particular challenge (Journal of Petroleum Technology, vol 63, p 116).

Once gas extraction begins, the pressure within any gas field will naturally begin to fall, but the drop is particularly acute in HP/HT reservoirs. This means that pressure at depth can vary dramatically and unpredictably once extraction begins, which makes it difficult to sink additional wells at a later date without damaging the expensive drilling equipment. To extract as much gas as possible, companies normally drill several wells into the reservoir before opening any of them. This ensures that they have backup wells, should some fail.

Wells failed

In fact, many of the wells in the Elgin field and the neighbouring Franklin field have failed since Total began extracting gas there in 2001, according to the report. The casings of some of the wells became badly deformed and their internal diameters shrank by 60 per cent, like damaged drinking straws. Others may have sheared off completely.

That damage was probably a direct result of gas extraction activities. The drop in pressure as gas was removed deformed the chalk layers above. Because the wells must pass through the chalk to reach the gas fields below, they too become deformed.

The damage to the well casings may explain this week's leak. We now know that its source is not the Elgin gas field itself, but rather a pocket of methane gas trapped within the chalk layers above. This methane somehow entered the casing of one well and travelled up to the Elgin platform.

The leaky well in question was actually closed over a year ago, and sealed at depth. But because Total continued to extract gas from the Elgin field, shearing forces within the chalk above may have cracked open the abandoned well-casing 4000 metres down ? 1500 metres above the main gas field ? allowing methane within the chalk to seep into the well and escape to the surface.

"Based upon the information we have available, I think it is highly probable this has happened," says Jon Gluyas of Durham University in the UK, who has 28 years of experience in the petroleum industry.

At the time of publication, Total had not responded to a request to comment on the relevance of last year's report to the current leak.

"Because of the demand for oil and gas, we will see this type of field exploited more often," Gluyas says. However, that does not necessarily mean we will see many more accidents along the lines of Elgin. Rather, the gas industry may improve its practices, for instance monitoring compaction in chalk layers more closely. "The industry will learn from this substantially," Gluyas says.

Analysis: Springtime in Cuba?

HAVANA (Reuters) - This week's three-day visit to Cuba by Pope Benedict marked another milestone in the Roman Catholic Church's cautious efforts to expand its role in the communist-run island.

Havana's Cardinal Jaime Ortega called it a "Springtime of faith."

While it remains unclear if or how the visit will change anything in Cuba, most analysts agree any notion of a ?Cuban spring' in terms of political change is still a long way off.

Even so, the visit seems to have ensured a growing role for the Church in Cuban society and politics, a potentially significant shift in the balance of forces in a country where religious faith was once scorned.

"The Catholic Church in Cuba has taken on a larger role. For the first time it is in a direct dialogue with the government, direct dialogue having to do with domestic policies," said Philip Peters, a Cuba expert and vice president at the Lexington Institute, a Virginia-based think tank who attended Wednesday's Havana Mass. "The Church is pushing more and deeper economic reforms. The Church is also pushing for political openings."

The Church hopes primarily that the papal visit will help spark a spiritual revival in Cuba, where religious faith was stigmatized for decades after the 1959 revolution.

Despite that, a much diminished Church survived and remains the largest and most socially influential institution outside of the government, a fact that Cuban leaders now seem more willing than ever to recognize - and perhaps reward.

Pope Benedict used the trip to deliver a shopping list of requests in talks with Raul Castro on Tuesday, including official recognition of Good Friday - barely a week away - as a national holiday, as well as pressing for greater access to the media and the right to open religious schools.

In fact, the Church has in recent years taken some baby steps in the field of education by offering after-school programs at a handful of churches, as well as university classes offered by a Spanish Catholic order, the Escalapios.

Late last year the government even allowed the Church to open a part-time Master's in Business Administration program at a Havana seminary with the help of Catholic University professors from Spain.

START OF THAW

Benedict's visit came 14 years after Pope John Paul's groundbreaking trip in 1998, which many Cubans say was the beginning of the thaw in church-state relations.

While Fidel Castro received the pope warmly in 1998, his brother and current president, Raul Castro, was even more attentive on this latest papal visit, attending the two Masses celebrated by Benedict, seated in the front row.

Critics, especially the hard-line Cuban-American exiles in Miami, as well as some human rights activists in Cuba, consider the transformation in church-state relations an unholy marriage of convenience, opening the Church up to accusations of not doing enough to defend the human rights of the island's political dissidents, who the Cuban government considers as mercenaries of the United States.

The Church argues that its engagement with the government is a necessary acceptance of Cuba's political reality. "The church is not going to dismiss a political system outright. The church will always work within the constraints of a system to find ways to improve human life and dignity," said Father Juan Molina, director for Latin America affairs at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Nor has the Church given up on a democratic opening.

"While improved relations are in the interest of both the Catholic Church and the Cuban government, it is also clear that the Church would like to see political reform on the island," said Geoff Thale, program director for the Washington Office on Latin America, a liberal think tank in the U.S. capital.

"While we may not see immediate actions on human rights in Cuba," as a result of the pope's visit, Thale said it had "strengthened the Catholic Church's ability to open space for dialogue and debate ... essential to building a climate that favors human rights."

In his public addresses in Cuba, the pope made repeated references to the need for "authentic freedoms" essential to the building of a "renewed and open society."

AREAS OF AGREEMENT

Raul Castro seemed to have no problem with that, noting in his final remarks before the pope departed that there were many areas where the Cuban government coincided with the views expressed by the pope, "though it's natural that we don't think the same way on every issue."

For Cuba, the pope's visit offers much-need legitimacy in its quest for international acceptance, all the more so given the health of their main political and commercial ally, Hugo Chavez, president of oil-rich Venezuela, who is battling cancer and faces a tough re-election in October.

One key area where the Church and the Cuban government share common ground is over the island's need for economic changes to raise living standards.

Since taking over the reins from his ailing brother nearly six years ago, Raul Castro has introduced tentative but ever-more-ambitious economic reforms to overhaul Cuba's rickety Soviet-style economy, including slashing a million government jobs and freeing up some business sectors to small-scale private enterprise.

Recognizing that these reforms are a difficult adjustment for Cuba after decades of tight economic and social control, Benedict used his visit to offer the Church's "constructive" support "in a spirit of dialogue to avoid traumas."

The pope's message of renewal and reconciliation resonates with Cubans looking for change.

"The country needs economic reforms and physical reconstruction, but there's also a huge job of moral reconstruction. Christianity can help us," said Oscar Espinosa Chepe, a moderate voice within the island's dissident movement jailed for "crimes against the state" in 2003 before being freed in 18 months on medical grounds.

Some Cubans remain skeptical about the Church's role.

"The Church does not need greater weight in society. I think society as it is works well. We have healthcare and education," said retired teacher Esperanza Gonzalez, 66, who attended the pope's Havana Mass.

"We are ready for reconciliation, but I don't think the exiles in Miami want that," she added.

But the pope's message is earning currency among Cuban-American exiles who, while wishing for a faster pace of change, also recognize the pitfalls.

"You don't change from a totalitarian society to an open society without a lot of pain, without a lot of sacrifices," said Carlos Saladrigas, a Cuban-American businessman from Miami who also traveled to Cuba to attend the pope's masses.

"What the church is advising us is that we need to do what we can to facilitate making change easier for all Cubans."

In the words of the Archbishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, who led a group of several hundred Cuban-American on a special papal pilgrimage to Cuba this week: "The interests of the Holy Father and the church here in Cuba is that whatever transition comes, that it be a soft landing."

Thailand Real Estate Transfer Tax and the ... - Finance information

In order to boost

the real estate property sales business and the real property development business The Thai government has extended the tax breaks for all real estate transactions for another year till 28th of March, 2010.

The renewal temporary reduction of the rate on the transfer fee from 2% to 0.01% in vivid, announced prior to the previous tax reduction between January 29 2008 and March 28 2009th The renewal of the temporary reduction of Specific Business Tax, from 3.3% to 0.11%, on gross sales Which thus expired on March 28 2009 has been announced after the previous expiration date and is again applied by the country offices since May 18 2009th Over real estate property transaction (land, house or condominium) between the previous expiration date March 28 and May 18 and Over Which the full 3.3% Specific Business Tax rate paid in vivid, a refund can be requested at the Revenue Department.

The Thai Revenue Department?s refund form must be prepared and submitted with the Revenue Department.

Thailand?s standard property transfer taxes (these will apply again after March 28, 2010, unless the current tax reduction will be extended):

1 ? A 2% transfer fee over the appraised value of the registered or property

Appraised or registered value of land is an actual price of the land evaluation Which calculated. by the land office by reference to each area the land situated at Which criteria set out and some more by the Land Department.

The appraised or registered value of a house by the Land Department depends on the floor area of The house, number of floors, materials used (eg wood or concrete).

So, condominium units have an appraised value or a registered calculation based on criteria set out by the Land Department.

2 ? A Specific Business Tax of 3.3% is calculated over the value or appraised value registered, whichever is higher. Specific business tax shall be payable if the seller sells the property within five years of the purchase registration date. The transfer is not subject to business tax if the seller is an individual and has possessed the property for more than five years before the transfer. . Companies with specific objectives are subject to Specific Business tax Irrespective the period of ownership

3 ? Stamp Duty of 0.5% over the registered value. If the seller is subject to Specific Business tax the seller is exempt from the payment of the stamp duty.

Internet Marketing Forums ? Tips for Creating Backlinks Using Forums

Using internet marketing forums to create back links can greatly influence your ranking in the search engines. When post and comment in forums related to your market and then link it back to your website, the search engines rate that back link much higher than a link on an unrelated website. In other words, where the link originates from is also considered by the search engine robots.

Whenever possible, you should use anchor text to create the link. That is when you insert the hyperlink inside the text. I am not sure why, but Google likes these type of links better than just typing out your websites address. Always try to use the same keywords you are targeting on the page you are linking to. For instance, if your keywords are ?making money online? on the web page you are linking to, then you should insert your hyperlink into the words ?making money online?.

The best place to create your back links is in your profile signature because every time you make a post, you create a back link without having to think about it. Go to your profile?s user control panel to edit your signature. Try to create a phrase that entices the reader to want more information. Something catchy, interesting or humorous works well. Sometimes it can be difficult to use your keywords and make the signature attractive, but don?t think too long about this, you can always change the signature later if you think of something better. It?s a good idea to test different signatures and keep track of the click-through-rates of each.

When using internet marketing forums to create back links you should do it for more than a back link to improve your websites rankings. You should contribute good, quality information and help others. One of the keys to success is to give more than you get. So if your purpose is to help others rather than making money, people who read your comments will see that you are not just every other spammer around and begin to trust what you have to say.

Some forums will require you have a certain number of posts (replies) to threads started by other members before you can start your own threads asking questions. As well, some forums require that you have a certain amount of posts before your signature link becomes active and able to be seen by other members.

If this is the case, start interacting and begin making quality and valuable comments. When you can start threads, ask questions that will get people thinking and talking about the subject. Controversy is a tactic that always seems to work at getting people involved.

Always remember that you need to reply to people?s posts to help keep the thread active and ranking high in the forum where other people will easily see it and join in on the conversation. Keep in mind, every reply with your signature is a back link to your website!

Forum marketing should be done with the intention of helping others however, I will say that the best information I have received on how to build a business online was through internet marketing forums. I personally like to interact with others online. If you would like a huge list of internet marketing forums that you can sign up to and begin making your contribution, click the link here: List of Internet Marketing Forums

Bailout worries see Spanish bond yields rise

(AP) ? Concerns over Spain's economy and fears that it might eventually be heading for a bailout pushed the country's borrowing costs in the world's financial markets higher on Friday.

The yield ? the interest rate Spain would have to pay on its debt ? for the country's 10-year bonds was up to 5.51 percent after rising all week. In early March, the yield was just below 5 percent. At the moment there is a 3.64 percentage point difference between the Spanish yield and what Germany, the strongest economy in the 17-country group that uses the euro as its currency, has to pay ? the biggest gap since early January.

Analysts blame Spain's rising borrowing costs on doubts that the new conservative government is committed to meeting deficit reduction targets. The markets are also concerned that a global economic slowdown will push Spain's to seeking a bailout package from the European Union or the International Monetary Fund.

There is concern in the markets that the rising yields could herald a rerun of the last months of 2011, when worries over the fate of Greece and bailouts for Portugal and Spain spread to other much larger eurozone economies. At the height of the crisis, borrowing costs for Italy and Spain on bond markets hit highs that would have been unsustainable without a bailout.

New austerity-minded governments in Rome and Madrid helped calm fears, but of far greater impact was the European Central Bank's decision to flood the market with more than ?1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in bargain-basement loans. This injection spurred banks to snap up battered government debt, driving Spanish and Italian borrowing costs down.

Economists warn that such relief is only temporary.

For the past two weeks, Spain has had a higher yield than Italy, which just months ago was thought to be the economy most at risk following the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal. On Friday, the Italian 10-year yield was 0.4 percentage points below Spain's at 5.14 percent.

On its own, Spain has a euro-zone high unemployment rate of nearly 23 percent and first quarter figures are expected to show the economy has slipped into its second recession in three years.

But speaking to reporters Friday in Singapore, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos described comparisons with bailed-out Greece as "total nonsense" and said that Spain will stay on track to meet its deficit target of 5.3 percent for 2012.

The government's maneuver to opt for 5.8 percent deficit target instead of the 4.4 percent it originally promised its partners in the euro was cooly received by markets. Irked by the bid, the EU eventually obliged Spain to settle for 5.3 percent.

Analysts also say the government's apparent decision to hold off on further reforms and its much awaited 2012 budget so as not to jeopardize the ruling Popular Party's victory chances in a regional election Sunday has not inspired confidence.

"Spain is seen as playing a cat-and mouse game and not fulfilling its commitments," said Javier Flores, an analyst with Asinver investment group.

Echoing some international analysts this week, Flores said that the risk of default was real and pointed out that British consultants CMA has Spain at No. 9 in the list of top 10 countries most at risk of default.

"Spain is almost certain to miss the deficit target and the possibility of a default right now is almost equal to that of Egypt," he said.

"People here just don't realize just how urgent and serious the situation is," he said, adding that much will depend on how the budget is perceived when presented next Friday.

(AP) ? Ohio State won the Battle of the Buckeye State and advanced to the NCAA regional finals for the first time since 2007.

Deshaun Thomas scored 26 points and Jared Sullinger had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead second-seeded Ohio State to an 81-66 victory over No. 6 seed Cincinnati on Thursday night.

Aaron Craft added 11 points ? all in the second half ? with five assists and six steals, taking charge during a 17-1 second-half run that turned a four-point deficit into a double-digit lead.

Cashmere Wright scored 18 and Sean Kilpatrick had 15 for the Bearcats, who were attempting to match Big East rival Syracuse by beating a Big Ten opponent to advance to the East Regional finals. The top-seeded Orange advanced earlier Thursday at the TD Garden by beating fourth-seeded Wisconsin 64-63.

It's the first trip to the regional finals for Ohio State (30-7) since it lost in the 2007 championship game to Florida.

The state of Ohio placed four teams in the round of 16, and the Buckeyes are the first to advance. Ohio plays North Carolina and Xavier plays Baylor on Friday.

Despite just about 100 miles separating their campuses along I-71, Ohio State and Cincinnati had played just once since the 1962 national championship game.

This one was evenly matched ? for about 30 minutes.

Wearing Day-Glo orange shoelaces and piping on their jerseys, Cincinnati (26-11) fell behind by 12 at the half before going on a 19-4 run early in the second. It was ahead 52-48 with 11:34 to play when Ohio State took over, allowing just one free throw over the next 5? minutes.

That effectively ended the season for Cincinnati, which fought its way back into prominence after a Dec. 10 brawl with crosstown rival Xavier.

The Musketeers, who were unbeaten and No. 8 in the nation at the time, lost their top three scorers and then five of their next six games. But Cincinnati, which fell to 5-3 with the 23-point loss at Xavier, won 10 of its next 11 games despite using a four-guard offense made necessary by the six-game suspensions of Yancy Gates and center Cheikh Mbodj.

The Bearcats reached the final of the Big East tournament and beat Texas and Florida State in the NCAAs to reach the regional semifinals for the first time since 2001.

Ohio State, which lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game, reached the round of 16 by beating 15th-seeded Loyola of Maryland and No. 7 seed Gonzaga.

The Buckeyes led Cincinnati by five when Thomas hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Ohio State scored 10 of the last 13 points in the half to open a 37-25 lead. But Cincinnati opened the second half with a run of its own, tying it 41-all on JaQuon Parker's baby hook shot in the lane.

The Bearcats led 52-48 on Gates' three-point play with 11:34 left. But Ohio State went on a 17-1 run to turn the four-point deficit into a 12-point lead.
