BREAKING - Gulf Oil Spill is Releasing Methane - I said it then and now is confirmed 5000:1

So explain the claims of conducting limited "burn-offs" of crude in the vicinity of the leak? Wouldn't that be STUPID with a methane leak of that caliber in close proximity?

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO - The deadly blowout of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, rig workers have told BP's internal investigators.

The real flow rate from the undersea well, based on aerial images of the oil slick and estimates of the thickness of the oil itself, is probably closer to 25,000 barrels (1,050,000 gallons) a day, MacDonald said.
Deep beneath the seafloor, methane is in a slushy, crystalline form. Deep sea oil drillers often encounter pockets of methane crystals as they dig into the earth.

As the bubble rose up the drill column from the high-pressure environs of the deep to the less pressurized shallows, it intensified and grew, breaking through various safety barriers, Bea said.

"A small bubble becomes a really big bubble," Bea said. "So the expanding bubble becomes like a cannon shooting the gas into your face."

By Sunday, the box the size of a house could be capturing up to 85 percent of the oil.

Peace

Thank you, never heard these interviews.

Very, Very informative.

Just as I had predicted, industrial accident.

Unavoidable, Catastrophic Accident.

Guess I timed out... link for above is [link to www.msnbc.msn.com]

accidents arent doom material though......gotta blame someone, possibly god or an interstellar beast that is waiting to sabotage their life

Copyright that shit!

you could have a script in two hours and you can sell it to that Emmerich prick for his next disaster, disaster movie.

You don't wanna know how much methane i release..

nuff said. Haliburton has one objective. Kill everything.

Tunguska event, methane explosion perhaps. mega doom.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

just a thought..maybe it has been leaking methane all along and they knew it, and that was why it seemed like they were dragging their feet when they should have been in high gear..fear of a mega explosion and fire.

didn't the Mayans say the world would end in a ball of fire?

HELLO!?

BP Insider: Massive Dead Zone Could Be Produced by Gulf BP-Congress Catastrophe


By Rob Kall (about the author)

A BP insider, providing information to OpEdNEws.com, reports that scientists and engineers, fearing the worst, have envisioned a worst case scenario,

"It could very well be that the entire Gulf and the East coast of Florida could become dead zones, with no aquatic life at all."

BP is not just the oil company with theworst safety record in America.It is also a criminal company, currently oncriminal probation, with numerous other offenses as well. Any human with this kind of record would be jailed.

Part of the reason this situation now exists is because BP secured a release from being required to use back-up acoustic coupler shut-off valves from Dick Cheney and the Bush administration, in 2003, when Cheney held secret meetings with energy executives-- the one the Supreme Court protected the secrecy of.

BP and the entire oil industry has been enabled by the Department of the Interior'sMinerals Management Service (MMS)a division that has, to a large extent, been handed over to industry to administer and run, with former industry employees in key roles, with attention to regulations ignored or decided by industry companies, not government regulators. My source informs me that "MMS is the same failed organization that allowed the Massey mining company to get away with all its violations." While immediate calls for congressional hearings and investigations of MMS and everything surrounding the Gulf BP-Congress Catastrophe would seem to be an obvious response, my source reports that the oil industry does not want hearings now, so they're focusing attention on stopping the leaks, as a distraction.

There are many companies involved in this catastrophe though, not just BP. Anadarko Petroleum and Mitsui are minority shareholders in the oil field-- also potentially responsible for damages.

The company which owned the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that BP subcontracted was Transocean.

Haliburton was doing the capping of the well about the time of the incident that caused the explosions, fire and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon Drilling Rig. Normally, a drilling rig is used to drill the well. Then the well is capped, taking the piping and encasing it in cement to make it more sturdy and stable. The well is temporarily closed, with about 50 feet of pipe extending from the well-head. Then a processing rig is brought in to operate the well and tap the oil from it. The processing rig sets up new, processing piping and re-opens the well.

But something went very wrong. Apparently, during the well-head capping, a natural gas pocket came to well-head -- that's what blew the rig up, killed the 11 people and kept feeding the fire. The oil in the well is mixed with natural gas, which is dissolved into the oil, like the fizz in soda pop. When the gas pocket it the Deepwater Horizon rig, it escaped, under the lower pressure, and flowed until it encountered some source of ignition, which caused it to explode. Gas is still a problem because of the leaking well. The deployment of the cone that BP is in the process of lowering by winch, to the well head, about a mile down, was delayed because of fear that sparks caused by scratching of the cone against the ship carrying it would ignite natural gas in the area. They had to wait until winds blew it away. (If the natural gas is that dangerous there, why isn't anyone talking about the possibility that it's also affecting sea life or even humans in the threatened areas of Louisiana and the surrounding environs.)

The plan for the cone is to place it over the leaking oil pipe. It has piping connected to it that will, hopefully draw the oil to the surface, where it can be put in an oil

According to my source, the Macondo oil field, owned/leased by BP-- the one where the well is spewing a "volcano" of oil, at what some experts estimate, based on oil slick size reported by NOAA, the leak is "throwing off 25-26,000 barrels a day." That's over a million gallons a day, far more than the 200,000 most media organizations are reporting. Reportedly, when the oil was pumping out of the well, at the surface, it was coming out at a rate of 8,000 barrels a day. That means that, without pumping, just from the pressure within the well, after rising through 5,000 feet of ocean water, there was still 8,000 barrels a day of pressure. This suggests that the release at sea-floor level would be far greater. My source reports that the pressure in the well was reported to be 135-165,000 PSi. That's massive.

In addition, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig sunk with 770,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board. That may also be leaking.

The real danger, my source reports, is that the pipe and incomplete well-head will deteriorate as the highly pressurized mix of oil, dirt and rock that is spewing out of the wellhead abrades the ten inch pipe, then the 24 inch wellhead. If that happens things will get much worse. There are an estimated 44 million barrels of oil reserve in the Macondo oil field-- about 1.8 billion gallons.

According to my source, the leaking Macondo field oil well is one of about a dozen mile deep wells BP has drilled. None of them have backup remote activation acoustic blow-out preventers.
These back-up units are built so a ship at the surface of the sea can produce a sound at a certain frequency which the acoustic activator recognizes and activates, closing the well opening. These are required in wells drilled in Europe and Asia. In total, there are about 4000 undersea oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Katla is going go blow the 25th of april !!

Nough said.

speaking of tunguska. watch this start to finish:

Metallica - All Nightmare Long

Notice the bariumd and arsenic aerosol : )

Did they drill another man-made disaster

Sidoarjo hot mud eruption, a Sidoarjo hot mud eruption, a man-made disaster....

what new here? HUGE methane gaz leak happen for more then 6 month in nothern canadian sea bed.


Still wait for footage of this "famous oil spill'' did you notice no image and video are release?

Too me this natural disaster is nothing compare with other thing going on the world.


American media are focus at this just to distract and made off a good soap TV show.


nothing more.

I have asked this before and maybe no one knows the answer, but what are the chances of a lightning strike causing it to ignite. Anybody anybody Buller

I think the methane is only a partial truth. I believe it could have caused this but I think it is being hyped to cover a nuke blast posing as a methane explosion to fuse the well.

I don't believe this box of oil shit either......

i actually have a little "insider news"..

i can't post link, nor can i reveal who, because they are friends with a job in this tight economy and that needs to be protected

LAST NIGHT..as in Friday, May 7, 2010, approx. 6 PM EST, they rec'd call to place BID on containing the oil. In other words..the current status is BID phase.

I have no idea if they will get it, but they tend to get some very interesting contracts because of what they do. If they do get the contract, I will share what I'm allowed to share, if you know what I mean.

last night there was someone who calld and asked about a key to something because they lost it..
they were in desperation..

seen this, quality video, as for the aerosol very freaky or metallica spend a bit of time on this website.

That rings all to well. I can see that being conjured to prepare the disinfo campaign.

What if the size of the nuclear bomb required was large enough to destroy many coastal areas and/or cities?

Or the resulting tsunami from a large enough blast?

They will NEVER tell us that is what they will do if the end results in a lot of life lost or large scale property destruction.

AC 964530, you sparked a thought and it feels too true. When I read your post I had that deep sinking feeling in my gut.

I think this may be it.

will be waiting Old Timer!

Thanks for the pin!

But it is not I that should be thankful. I can not conjure gratitude regarding such a potential loss of life and scope of the destruction of ecosystems.

Sea creatures have feelings too. Many species mourn over loosing a young offspring. The level of suffering in the Gulf is Biblical.

Human emotion isn't the only thing that matters, we are a speck.

It's a shame, broken hearts and lives shattered down there.

It's my opinion that this new "story" that is being released(since yesterday, BTW) was cooked up during the closed door meeting with Obambi and BP last week.

Reporters were refused access, if I remember right.

This article is VERY interesting regarding methane explosions in the past.

[link to www.astrobio.net]

*note: It mentions entire world oceans but it could still easily happen in a regional location such as the Gulf of Mexico. Which is loaded with methane gas on the seafloor. And since it is saturating the seafloor, it is in the oil as they are one of the same just different times.

In an article published in the September issue of Geology, Gregory Ryskin, associate professor of chemical engineering at Northwestern, suggests that huge combustible clouds produced by methane gas trapped in stagnant bodies of water and suddenly released could have killed off the majority of marine life and land animals and plants at the end of the Permian era -- long before dinosaurs lived and died.

The mechanism also might explain other extinctions and climate perturbations (ice ages) and even the Biblical flood, as well as be the cause of future catastrophes.

Ryskin calculated that some 10,000 gigatons of dissolved methane could have accumulated in water near the ocean floor under high pressure. If released quickly, perhaps triggered by an earthquake, the resulting cloud of methane would have an explosive force about 10,000 times greater than the world's entire stockpile of nuclear weapons. The huge conflagrations plus flooding and overturned oceans would cause the extinctions. (Approximately 95 percent of marine species and 70 percent of land species were lost.)

"That amount of energy is absolutely staggering," said Ryskin. "As soon as one accepts this mechanism, it becomes clear that if it happened once it could happen again. I have little doubt there will be another methane-driven eruption -- though not on the same scale as 251 million years ago -- unless humans intervene."

reporters are welcome..
the jail is pretty much my heart..always feels like it's about to explode (or something)

If you recall the 80s and early 90s they were hyping "the poor mans nuke" which was a dispersion of gas from a missile then the ignition source. It was/is a terrible weapon because of the expansive properties of gas it is an alomost limitless uncontrollable weapon. They began hyping this then saying Saddam Hussien had them.


Making my point now that I have taken the scenic route around the barn.

Methane can do the same thing, it is rumored to be escaping from the well. We can't control it because we are powerless against nature. It is a PERFECT cover for an intentional expolision that WILL cause terrible damage to everything land. air and sea. They can now prtoect the insurance companies and sink BP while at the same time "they will have to nationalize BP to absorb the "liability" of the company. A sort of inveted bailout. Now the government controls oil in the gulf.

"Never let a good crisis go to waste"

I say fuck being human now.. even people that look human around me...are not human.
