Hello everyone,
Welcome back to The ROC Blog, we at Murrenhil hope everyone reading this, is enjoying the beginning of summer. In central Ontario, Canada, we are enjoying a heat wave, three days so far of high 20s Celsius or 90s Fahrenheit.
I want to talk about Alaska, did you know the ice is just off now, just in the last couple of weeks. Imagine how happy Alaskans must be right now, open water, finally. Their season has begun, time to get ready for tourists. a great deal of money is generated through tourism, and why not, it is such a beautiful place.
Most residents can hardly wait for the warm season, not just because of the long COLD winter, but because the warmth brings visitors, who spend money, and awaken the economy, giving back jobs to those in the tourism business.
Oil on the other hand, is a business that doesn’t stop in Alaska. It runs 24/7 365 days a year, the industry is huge, employing many a man, woman and families. Pulling from the Earth, a dark gooey substance we have come to rely on so heavily. We all know the pros and cons of the oil industry.
More and more care goes into the extracting and moving of the oils, but SHIT happens. Whether it is human error, or Mother Nature, accidents occur. Remember the Exxon Valdez, who doesn’t. The devastation is still present on the beaches today, so many years later.
Contingency planning is crucial, everyone involved in the oil industry is looking at new technologies, and products that will help in the event of a spill. We at Murrenhil Corporation have introduced Alaska to the ROC Barrier, hoping to help if an instance occurs.
Together we can keep Alaska beautiful, and its industries running smoothly, together we can ROC Alaska.
