Shell today produced its first oil and natural gas from the Perdido Development, the world’s deepest offshore drilling and production facility.

The facility sits in approximately 2,450 meters (8,000 feet) of water, which is roughly equivalent to six Empire State Buildings stacked one atop the other, and will access reservoirs deep beneath the ocean floor. Perdido smashes the world water depth record for an offshore platform by more than 50%.

How to adopt a baby - Ebook
The laws and policies which regulate who are actually able to adopt a child will vary from state to state, as well as from agency to agency. But there are certain requirements that almost all adoption agencies will be looking at when they talk to those people who would like to adopt a baby.
What is important to know, however, is that, although the provisions required by laws in each state can not be either changed or ignored. But there are very few, if any, requirements or rules which are not inflexible.
However, if you do find yourself during the adoption process having problems with a particular rule or guideline, then it might be advisable if you can see if that particular one can be waived.
You may be surprised that there are certain exceptions where this can occur, if the circumstances are right, or the right people have asked for it to be waived.
Although you may think that you have the right to adopt, this is simply just not the case. No one in today’s society has the absolute right to adopt a child, and can only do so after they have met certain criteria that both the adoption agencies and the government place.
It is therefore important that any prospective people wishing to adopt a baby should carry out as much research as possible on the subject. Learn everything about the rules, regulations and guidelines that can be imposed upon prospective adoptive parents by the various adoption agencies.
In this book, we will be taking you through the basics of what is required in order for a couple or single person to become an adoptive parent.
