Around the world
Snow-drenched landscape, with steam emitted from a crude oil upgrader, converting bitumen mined from Canada’s oil sands into crude oil.

Sorry for the lack of personal updates. Have been meaning to write a bit more, but have been travelling for the past two weeks and didn’t help that my work laptop died on the first day I arrived in Canada.
So the whirlwind tour of the world in the last couple of weeks included flying from Singapore to Tokyo, to Los Angeles, to Calgary, up to Fort McMurray, back to Calgary, to Houston, then finally Moscow and back to Singapore.
I feel like I don’t want to travel now for a long long time and feel extremely guilty about the carbon footprint of all that flying - am looking out for a reliable website where I can possibly pay to offset my flights.
But in general, the trip has been thoroughly interesting and I feel like I now know a lot more about the energy sector, particularly after visiting projects such as Canada’s oil sands, and deepwater drilling projects in the US, off the Gulf of Mexico.
More on that coming up, since I don’t know what will be published yet, as of now.
