(Reuters) NIGERIA: HOSTAGES' RELEASE DELAYED -- Gunmen continued to hold 165 oil workers on two oil rigs well past the expected time of their release because of logistical problems, officials said.
If you feel the election is rigged, well the answer is yes it is.
The state-owned network of rigs, wells, pump houses, pipelines, reservoirs and wharves was accompanied by a regime of state-mandated production quotas, storage in state warehouses, inspection and transport from state wharves.
He added, "You are right that it was rigged, but you did not rig it well enough".
I highly recommend it – it looks great on low-end hardware but it's a good workout for a nice rig as well.
He was in charge of collecting mud that was being transferred from the rig's well.
That was the case with the Deepwater Horizon rig as well.
Since August 21 when there was an accident at the Montara offshore drilling rig's well head, around 403,000 litres of oil have been pumped into the Timor Sea.
The group said that the Interior Department had imposed new standards for rig safety, well design, blowout preventers and spill response, but that the new systems had not been adequately tested and the regulatory changes had not been written into law.
Among those freed were two Americans, two French citizens, two Indonesians and a Canadian who had been abducted from an oil rig, as well as eight Nigerians taken hostage from an Exxon Mobil platform and four others, two officials involved in the operation said.
