It took nine months to cap the Ixtoc well.

A brisk wind had blown away the stench from the well.

Shale gas wells deplete far more rapidly than conventional fields do.

The power supply was cut off, so locals couldn't even pump the water from their own wells.

And the plastics, we get from oil, which we go to more remote locations and drill ever deeper wells to extract.

A radioactive leak, the rupture of an undersea oil well and, above all, CO2 emissions do not threaten just one country.

An interactive map showing Iraq's oil infrastructure, including the locations of oil pipelines, refineries, tanker terminals, gas and oil fields as well as oil wells, is available for the public for the first time ever.

There are also old wells that have stopped producing but that could be made productive again with modern technologies.

On the eve of the financial crisis, other Gulf states had started to look to Dubai for insight into how they might diversify their economies and continue to thrive when the oil wells run dry.

For hours and kilometres on end, members of the community walk to the nearest borehole, then descend 30 meters into a cave like well to fetch water for their cattle before the break of dawn.

But even more striking than the ferocious power emanating from that well was the recklessness with which that power was unleashed the carelessness, the lack of planning that characterized the operation from drilling to clean up.

The fact that oil wells are being drilled in La Macarena first came to the attention of Paloma Valencia, a senator from the Democratic Pole party, through a group chat.

In stunning large format photographs, Edward Burtynsky follows the path of oil through modern society, from wellhead to pipeline to car engine and then beyond to the projected peak oil endgame.

More recently, military installations in the Persian Gulf protected the oil supplies of the Cold War alliance and deterred both Ba athist Iraq and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini s Iran from grabbing the prized oil wells or choking off export routes.

The concept is beguilingly simple drill at least two boreholes five kilometers deep, inject cold water into one, pass it through the hot rocks, and then bring it back to the surface, where the energy is removed in a power station.

It won't, but it gives us a chance to study these kinds of asteroids. We didn't really necessarily understand these keyholes, and now we do and it turns out that's really important, because how do you stop an asteroid like this?

After a massive gas well explosion killed 243 people in southwest China last December, China's State Council and National People's Congress have announced new rules for industrial safety. The authorities' response follows a now familiar pattern high profile pronouncements in the wake of workplace disaster give way to neglect of basic safety standards.

Not just the priests. Everybody.
