PROJECT SCENARIO & PERSONAL PROJECTS
Your team has been selected by ADNOC to study an interesting prospect – an onshore sour gas reservoir in a foreign country.
Each team member must carry out the following personal assignment allocated in agreement with the rest of the team:

a. Choose one of the following subjects by agreement among team members (different subjects to each team member):
i. Likely future product prices for gas, condensate and sulphur
ii. Decommissioning or abandonment techniques and costs for facilities after the end of production
iii. Political and economic issues in your “host” country
iv. What new technology could be applied to improve recovery and/or economics
Note 1: Teams with 3 members should skip the last subject.
Note 2: If teams have problems agreeing on which subject members should take on, the instructor will draw lots.

b. Each team member will collect information and write a report on their subject which will form an appendix in the final project report. The report should summarise the issues in the subject area associated with the project description, and especially the country. Then it should make recommendations about what to do or what data to use which relate to the subject above. The rest of the project should be aligned with these recommendations as far as possible.

c. There must be at least one reference to the course textbook and at least three to other published work. You can use web page references but at least one reference must be to a refereed publication or book. Use SPE guidelines for the citation.

d. The report should use a minimum of 1000 works but not exceed 3000 words.

e. Don’t forget your Student Pledge of Academic Integrity!

f. Please submit your agreed individual assignments by Monday 16th Apr. using turn-it-in, but you should try to complete the work as early as possible, as other project work is likely to depend on it.

g. This assignment will be worth 25% of the overall project grade, which counts for 20% of the course grade (so this assignment will be 5% of your total mark).

More data on your particular project will be sent soon.

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
