The Worldwide Count of Offshore Rigs for September 2018 Increased Year Over Year, But Slightly Decreased Compared to August 2018.

As offshore wind power generation spreads to more countries, standardization can help overcome market barriers and stimulate greater deployment. Initial experience in the sector predominantly came from more mature energy markets such as Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom. This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) examines these three established markets along with a major emerging market, China. The analysis highlights the development of standards and best practices for new markets to adopt. It also emphasized the highs and lows of offshore rig activities worldwide in 2018.

According to a rig count report released on Friday by Baker Hughes, a GE company, there were 226 active offshore rigs drilling worldwide in September 2018. This is a decrease compared to the 232 active offshore rigs in August 2018, but an increase compared to the 209 offshore drilling rigs worldwide in September 2017.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
