PEMEX hired blowout control experts and other spill control experts including Red Adair (Adar, although not Adair, is a Hebrew month and means Saturn), Martech International of Houston, and the Mexican diving company, Daivaz.

Two relief wells were drilled to relieve pressure from the well to allow response personnel to cap it. Norwegian experts were contracted to bring in skimming equipment and containment booms, and to begin cleanup of the spilled oil.

I recall going to the beaches in TX as a kid and stepping on big balls of turd like tar. So that was why.

You can kiss that goodbye.

Well I'm not in the business, but I'd consider the field if I can get back into working condition.

The name Mediterranean is derived from the Latin mediterraneus, meaning "inland" or "in the middle of the earth"
And I just found this article posted:

Most of my early teen and teen years my family/youth/church would have coast trips to nearly Mexico on South Party Island.
Tar was common, a couple of yrs past during college, and on a return visit no tar, but many jelly fish. So I'd say 6-7 yrs.

Ixtoc I
The 2-mile-deep exploratory well, Ixtoc I, blew out on June 3, 1979 in the Bay of Campeche off Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico. By the time the well was brought under control in March, 1980, an estimated 140 million gallons of oil had spilled into the bay. The Ixtoc I spill is currently #2 on the all-time list of largest oil spills of all time.

Some poster a few months ago believed to have a system for predicting earthquakes. The above is proven and today's disaster in the Gulf will precede.

Brace yourselves Californians and the New York area as well.
