                                                               Off the Deep End in Brazil
                                                                        Gerald Herbert

With crude still hemorrhaging into the Gulf of Mexico, deep-water drilling might seem taboo just now. In fact, extreme oil will likely be the new normal. Despite the gulf tragedy, the quest for oil and gas in the most difficult places on the planet is just getting underway. Prospecting proceeds apace in the ultradeepwater reserves off the coasts of Ghana and Nigeria, the sulfur-laden depths of the Black Sea, and the tar sands of Venezuela’s Orinoco Basin. Brazil’s Petrobras, which already controls a quarter of global deepwater operations, is just starting to plumb its 9 to 15 billion barrels of proven reserves buried some four miles below the Atlantic. The reason is simple: after a century and a half of breakneck oil prospecting, the easy stuff is history. Blistering growth in emerging nations has turned the power grid upside down. India and China will consume 28 percent of global energy by 2030, triple the juice they required in 1990. China is set to overtake the U.S. in energy consumption by 2014. And now that the Great Recession is easing, the earth’s hoard of conventional oil is waning even faster. The International Energy Agency reckons the world will need to find 65 million additional barrels a day by 2030. If the U.S. offshore-drilling moratorium drags on, look for idled rigs heading to other shores. Available in: Retrieved on: June 19, 2011.

In Text II, Herbert illustrates the possibility of “...idled rigs heading to other shores.” (line 26) EXCEPT when he mentions

• A. prospection in ultra-deepwater reserves off the coasts of Ghana and Nigeria
• B. deepwater operations in the sulfur-laden depths of the Black Sea
• C. the quest for oil in the tar sands of Venezuela’s Orinoco Basin.
• D. the suspension of the US offshore-drilling moratorium.
• E. Brazil’s drillings four miles below the Atlantic.

Gabarito: D

Comentários

• No Texto II, Herbert ilustra a possibilidade de "... sondas ociosas atuando para outros mercados." (Linha 26), exceto quando ele menciona
  a) prospecção em águas ultra-profundas reservas ao largo das costas de Gana e da Nigéria
  CORRETA referindo-se a outros mercados Gana e Nigeira
  b) operações em águas profundas, nas profundezas de enxofre-laden do Mar Negro
  CORRETA Referindo-se a outros mercados  Mar Negro
  c) a busca de petróleo nas areias de alcatrão da bacia do Orinoco na Venezuela.
  CORRETA Referindo-se a outros mercados Bacia do Orinoco na Venezuela
  d) a suspensão da moratória EUA de perfuração offshore.
  ERRADA A unica opcao que nao se refer e a atuacao de sondas ociosas em outros mercados
  e) perfurações do Brasil quatro quilômetros abaixo do Atlântico.
  CORRETA Referindo-se ao Brasil como outros mercados

• d-

  idle rigs will head to other shores unless the moratorium is lifted. else, it will stall the development of offshore drilling on the us coast. the other examples are locations where deep sea drilling is more likely. 

  A questao quer saber o que nao é exemplo de "idle rigs heading to other shores". other shores sao locais de exploracao submarina.
