You can do this with ALL of the ships. You can see who is going where, and where they came from. Where is everyone going? Where do they go back and forth between? I think we can find out what they are doing. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1021078 United States 07/22/2010 12:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If the first well blew out on feb 3, then why didn't any oil hit the beaches? Surely it wouldn't take 4 months. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1020434This is the first thing I thought about, as well, when I first read this thread. With a full month and a half of oil gushing, shouldn't SOMEONE have noticed and raised a curious eyebrow? More like two and a half months. Just clarifying. Whoops, thanks for catching that! How is that??Its a mile under the ocean. I don't think anyone on hear really knows the behavior of a leak under pressure at those depth. For all we know a small amount of oil, even it was not hit with dispersants could stay suspended in the water column in those conditions. I believe a lot of the oil that washed up was due to the DWH horizon explosion and fire, and during those first days all eyes had to be directed on that rig and dispersants could not be applied to both leaks. That is why so much oil washed up. |

Especially when tracking the War Admiral just got really interesting. You can click on the vessel and get an information window. Then inside the window is a link to TRACK the vessel War Admiral has been to some interesting places, over and over and over...especially an area about 10 miles from the "capped wellhead"....the fissure???

tweeny User ID: 1044395 United States 07/22/2010 01:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yes, I am working on the tracking too. But if the coordinates are only 100 yards apart on the two wells, then won't the ROV ships be sitting on the top of basically both wells, or do we think the Well A is further away. Please watch the video of the fire and tell me what you think of the 2 rigs, is that what you see? [link to www.youtube.com] |

That is some other shallow water rig that had a blow out. Look at the pictures of DWH it does not look like that rig. |
tweeny User ID: 1044395 United States 07/22/2010 01:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK maybe I agree with the rig in the opening shot, but the night shot is a pretty big burn and the rig at 3 minutes where it pans around to another rig looks a lot like the DWH sinking? No? But I cannot confirm this is DWH. Also, is there an error here? On the first page quote: BP WELL #B (the second well that blew up Deepwater Horizon) Latitude 28/44/16.027 N Longitude 88/21/57.340 W He is giving the same longitude coordinates as the ones from Well A. On the Scribd document the Long for Well B is 88/22/00.589W on the page with the map of wells A and B. How does that change the distance issue between the two wells? |

This is from page 3 of the initial exploration plan page 3. When I plot these on marine traffic they seem to be about 200 feet away from each other and just south of the BOA DEEP. |

tweeny User ID: 1044395 United States 07/22/2010 02:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, if you get the coordinates off the Skandi ROV Feed, they match up better with well A: X-1202750.63 Y- 10431641.39 So it looks like the BOP feed is definitely coming from Well A. So what happened to Well B if it was even ever drilled? We don't know. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1018917 United States 07/22/2010 03:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone know which ship has the CANYON XLS-28 ROV? I know it's a Canyon/Helix ship, but I don't know the name of the ship. And does anyone know what the "Joe Griffin" does? I'm tracking it today, but I sure would like to know where it was on 10 July 2010. The Offshore Service Vessel chosen to deliver the cofferdam was the Motor Vessel (M/V) "Joe Griffin." The M/V Joe Griffin is owned by Edison Chouest Offshore, operating as Galliano Marine, out of Port Fourchon, Louisiana, and is under contract to British Petroleum. Quoting: FromTheSouth nli 1044071[link to www.oil-electric.com] Thank you! Now I'm quite curious; I looked up the BP cofferdam, and the one that appears in the MSM is white. [link to www.fastcompany.com] (cofferdam) I've seen a photo, taken on 10 July 2010, that shows the "Joe Griffin" tethered to the CBC1268 barge, and on the barge is a very tall YELLOW structure, and it's round. Another picture in the group I saw showed the Canyon ROV I mentioned before. There's no link to the photos. They were taken by a private individual. I'm just trying to figure out WHERE the photos were taken. The person who took them worked on the unknown large ship that was tethered to the barge and thence to the "Joe Griffin." The ship, barge, and the "Joe Griffin" were near a large rig, and the CANYON ROV was on that ship. The entire flotilla was over an oil leak (could be seen in a couple of photos). The person taking the pictures wrote about being at the leak. I just don't know that those pictures show the same site we've been watching on television, on WEWHOWATCH, etc., and that's why I'm digging. |

This exploration well had been partially drilled by Transocean in OCT09. The Marianas semi-sub was damaged by hurricane Ida and was removed for repairs in late NOV09. BP immediately experienced serious problems with its Deepwater Horizon semi-sub operation on 03FEB10. They were unable to seal large cracks at the base of the well for ten days. BP informed the U.S. Minerals Management Service Dept. of the Interior on 13FEB10 that the cracks were causing uncontrollable bursts of natural gas and they filed a permit to abandon the well immediately. President Obama was notified of the well blowout on February 13, 2010. |

On October 21, 2009, the Transocean Marianas semisub arrived on location to spud an exploration well on the Macondo prospect. Several days later drilling commenced, but was halted on Nov. 28, 2009, when the semisub underwent repairs for damage caused by Hurricane Ida. BP leased another rig, the Deepwater Horizon semisub to complete drilling operations on the well.

If you want to call leaking gas and problems sealing the well a blowout - go for it - but it's not a blow out. If that were the case we would have a blowout in the GOM every month. - And because the MMS knew about the problems, doesn't mean they informed the President.

As far as the President being informed - I know that when the DWH sank the Pres was specially informed on how bad the situ was and that it would be till Aug. until relief wells could possibly kill the well. What did he do with that info - played down the damage and sat on his hands. Great F'n leadership. Last Edited by ByndPhkd on 07/22/2010 12:42 PM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1004291It is not in the Scrib Document. Heck people. I see this has been asked at least four times in this thread. Don't I get a chance to sleep or work? The Scrib link and the commentary were forwarded to me. I don't know who the original author was and I have no idea if it was quoting a document or not. After I started to research it, the summary seemed to make sense so I posted it in the OP and backed up most of what it said with additional links from internet posts, videos, and news sites which are on the first two pages of this thread.
