THE Tanzania Seafarers Community (TSC), has declared its readiness to start performing a wide range of tasks associated with exploring oil and gas, both in deep and shallow waters.

The move comes after the accomplishment of all legal procedures and fulfillment of sailor’s demands such as health insurance and working contracts to companies that they will be working with.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam, the TSC Chairman, Mr Frank Chuma said that they have reached agreement with the government on the fulfillment of important requirements that are needed by seafarers.

He said next process shall be signing contracts between the Community and Tanzania Petroleum and Gas Development Corporation (TPDC). “We are happy that everything went smoothly in accordance to expectations although it took three years until the accomplishment.

“The TSC concern was to see local sailors benefit from opportunities that shall be found in their homeland,” he added. He said the move shall reduce unemployment rate for local seafarers who are about 5,000 country wide, as they are now going to be attached to both foreign and local companies that are associated to the oil and gas exploration sector.

“In accordance with Tanzania shipping business laws, for a sailor to go to the sea he/she must have insurance. We therefore recommend the remarkable contribution by the finance ministry,” he said.

He added that the issue of employment is a major problem for sailors something which pushed them to have number of consultation meeting with different stakeholders including China embassy, Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), TPDC and the Ministry of finance.

He said, the Chinese Embassy has agreed to cooperate with them in fishery, oil and gas as well as other related activities and they are ready to bring their gears to help revive the activities in the country.

For his part, the renowned maritime instructor Mr Charles Chagula, urged the sailors to work hard once being attached to the companies as a way to prove their capacity and morality.

Check Out How oil and gas are Formed—-3 Easy Steps

/48 Comments/in /by

Everyone in his daily life are in contact with objects that depend on oil or natural gas on their making. For example In order for you are car to run it must be filled with oil, Most of you use gas for cooking.

Have you ever asked yourself where do this oil and natural gas come from?

Without using technical words, the article explains how oil and natural gas are formed with three easy steps. If a reader lack prior knowledge of oil and gas industry, do not worry the article uses simple language in order to give you a better understanding.

 

Note: Oil and natural gas are related products often found in tandem, so their process of formation is similar

Okay let’s see how oil and natural gas formed

Stage 1 – All of the oil and gas we use today began as microscopic plants and animals living in the ocean millions of years ago.. In the shallow water where these animals lived, sweep current comes on and pushes these animals down where there is not sufficient oxygen to live and so they die.

Over millions of years, these layers of sands and animals are burned and covered by more layers until the first layer get very deep.

Stage 2 – as they became buried ever deeper, heat and pressure began to rise. The amount of pressure and the degree of heat, along with the type of biomass, determined if the material became oil or natural gas.

 

Bonus:

 

In an area where more shallow and organic materials were buried in a short time we get heavy oil

In area where organic materials were buried very deep over 2,000 meters for long time we get only we get lighter oil

If organic materials buried more than 6, 000 meter deep and for a long time we get only  natural  gas

 

Stage 3 – after oil and natural gas was formed. They tended to migrate through microscopic pores in the surrounding rock.

Some oil and natural gas migrated all the way to the surface and ran away. Other oil and natural gas deposits migrated until they were caught under impermeable layers of rock or clay where they were trapped.

These trapped deposits are the reason why we find oil and natural gas today.

To explore opportunities in the sector, Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of State, Petroleum and Natural Gas, along with senior officials of MoPNG and senior executives of public sector oil & gas companies, met government representatives of African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Sudan, Algeria and Gabon during the 3rd India Africa Forum Summit.

You are about to learn  excellent  stuff

The articles intend to clarify advantages and disadvantages of working in oil and gas industry:

Lets meet them

                                                       Advantages
   

1:Trip opportunities
If travelling different countries is your dream, oil and gas industry is a perfect career for you.

As the oil exploration and production projects of oil and gas are carried worldwide, oil and gas workers must travel from one project location to another.

As I am writing this article, some of the Tanzanians are in the United Arab Emirates working with oil and gas companies:

Furthermore, Some of these oil and gas activities are conducted on land  and others on deep water you  should get outfitted to work on deep-sea as well

2:Great Salary
I know this is the point of interest for most of you.The fact is that oil and gas industry is the highly paid industry.

If you want to understand the great wealth in oil and gas industry, check out the lifestyle of oil and gas workers in petroleum companies, not to talk with investors themselves.

Technical staff like drilling engineers, field engineers, pipeline operators, geoscientists  petroleum engineers and other technical personnel  are in demand and hence their salaries are very higher.

The most amazing thing in this industry is as the oil prices raise the salaries of employees also rise, which is quite different in other companies or industries.

3:Entertaining and intelligent work
If you are very interesting in brainstorming  and you like to think for yourself and get things done, consider oil and gas industry:

Can you think how hard in controlling the huge pipeline system that passes from Mtwara to Dar es salaam?

Have you ever asked yourself the trouble in seismic interpretation and get the result that decides where to drill the first well?

                                                              Disadvantages

1:Stress and disappointment
Some oil and gas jobs can lead to stressing, you might work even night shift because drilling activities should run 24 hours, working long hours in a harsh environment and staying away from your family and loves one, is a great challenge.

Additionally pipeline operators might experience bad time since pipeline can easily leak, and if that pipeline crosses below nearby the cities, the  native remain at risk,

This is the reason pipeline operators and other oil and gas workers must be trained for safety issues in order to protect environments and their lives as a whole.
2:Health problems
Oil and gas workers  do at very risky, for instance, those who work in refineries for a long time can be induced by harmful chemicals. Also working on the land and deep seas(offshore) is very dangerous

Bonus:  if you want to have great understanding on how is threatening us to work into oil and gas industry, consider BP’s  oil

spills 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico in the united state which result in the death of 11 people in the rig floor and result of Chief executive officer of  BP, Mr     Tony Hyward  was forced to resign

Final Words
To consider a career in the industry you don’t know is wasting of time, before you join in the oil and gas industry you must have a clear picture of difficulties and benefits of the petroleum industry.

Good Luck
