What kind of safety precautions do these flaring sites have, if any? Anyone ever do this type of work and can tell us? Don't know what precautions, especially given the 15-minute, 40-foot-high flare they had recently. I understand they're moving the butane to a cavern further away, but that could take up to a year to complete. And, if this is anything like gasoline, the vapors are more dangerous than the actual gasoline (a full tank is less likely to explode than one hardly filled), and so even if they clear the whole thing out, the vapors, I would imagine, could still ignite. But, I'm no expert in this area. I don't know what happens with butane vapor at those depths. I think it's reasonably safe because it's an oxygen-deprived environment. Still, there must be some risk if they'd go through all the trouble of moving all that butane to another cavern. As a side note, I used to sell butane lighters and once had a whole case catch fire in a car. Big fireball that blew out the hatchback. It was very similar to this: I guess you'd basically take the explosion in that video and multiply it by a few million to equal what's in one of those caverns, lol. . . . |

Quit asking about matching the samples. That has been done, a long time ago. They don't want you knowing the result because that only leads to the inevitable question, "How do we fix it?" We don't. You were warned. Dawgs right again. |

Quoting: Nika Officials said in a news release late Friday that the federal on-site coordinator approved the joint plan on Thursday. Coast Guard Capt. Duke Walker had required the plan, and federal officials had informed BP and Transocean they might be held responsible for the costs of identifying the source and the cleanup.
