Quoting: Anonymous Coward 711803---------------------- Why BP may never plug the leak in the gulf Thread: Why BP may never plug the leak in the gulf According to the video shown on the news, the broken off pipe is lying on it's side on the bottom. The oil blows out sideways and then up to the surface. Therefore any attempt to put a cover over it will result in the cover being blown off to the side. That's what really happened to the cement dome. Short of using explosives, there's no other way to plug the leak. If the explosives fail, consider the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean gone. They aren't trying to cover, cap it, stop it or anything like that with these "Domes"...all these do is suck up the oils after it blows out...it's ALL these things CAN do... and so far they aren't even doing that... These things are an exercise to appease the public...nothing more...they do not, can not and never were meant to address the real problem. ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 690179 United States 05/13/2010 03:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bet with all the methane bubbles its not even safe at all for them to even be anywhere over it. My ideas is: Take a heavy piece of alloy or rock and sharpen it at the point. Kind of like a wide plumb-bob. Attach wide fins with propellers to it which will be attached by leads to ships used to lower it in a coordinated effort. It will lodge itself in the hole. That's if it was a hole on the bottom. But because its a pipe on its side maybe a giant slab will work better. A slab of something really heavy. take into account the contour of the bottom it will be resting on. Use guidelines from several ships-or propellers to steer it down, but let its weight guide it. |

Described as a "giant" find,[2] it is estimated to contain 4 to 6 billion barrels (640×10^6 to 950×10^6 m3) of oil in place[3], although BP states it is too early to be sure of the size[2] - a "huge" field is usually considered to contain 250 million barrels (40×10^6 m3). It required the drilling of a 10,685-metre (35,056 ft) deep well under 1,260 metres (4,130 ft) of water,[4] making it one of the deepest wells drilled at the time of discovery[4] (the drilling rig's owner states "the deepest ever".[5]) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 942322 United States 05/13/2010 03:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lack of boom to contain oil spill worries Mississippi Delta By Dan Reed, USA TODAY Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser says there's not enough oil boom in the world to adequately protect his ecologically diverse and fragile jurisdiction at the mouth of the Mississippi River from the oil spill. He's probably right. The massive Mississippi Delta consisting of bayous, estuaries, saltwater lakes, bays and barrier islands has hundreds of miles of shoreline. Yet there's only about 100 miles of boom on hand to protect the entire Gulf Coast from oil leaking from the well site where the Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20. Boom is a ribbon of PVC fabric attached to flotation foam. When anchored to the ocean bottom in chains off the coast, it acts like a curtain blocking oil from reaching shore. Even counting the miles of existing boom being sent to the region from around the world, and the miles of new boom being produced each day by a handful of manufacturers, it will be weeks before the Gulf Coast region has enough boom to provide the full protection local leaders say they need now. The target zone for the oil spill is about 500 miles wide, as the crow flies, from East Texas to Panama City, Fla. But because of the gnarly Gulf coastline, the region could use as much as 2,000 miles of boom to lay the double layer of protection that officials such as Nungesser want. "This is not a high-volume business in the sense that we're consistently making product the way GM and Ford would," says Omid Javadi, project manager at Vancouver-based Versatech, one of a handful of North American companies that make marine containment booms. "Typically we build to order," Javadi says. But this time, "People are buying as fast as we can make it." Versatech has added a second shift and is installing new machinery to increase its output. It's also gearing up for a third shift to meet the urgent demand. Still, businesses can't respond fast enough to soothe concerns of local officials worried about what the oil will do once hurricane season arrives next month. Local, state and federal officials along the Gulf Coast now are looking at alternatives for protecting the land. One idea is to use dredges to build an 80-mile-long barrier island off Plaquemines Parish to protect the Mississippi River Delta. Boom then could be concentrated at the mouth of the river and at bays. Nungesser says the plan would cost $250 million and, if approved, would have to be paid for by British Petroleum. Dredging likely couldn't begin for 10 days. In Lafourche Parish, spokesman Brennan Matherne says the National Guard is using sandbags to close gaps in the area's natural barrier islands. "It's a whole lot easier to clean up the oil once it gets into the sand on an island than it is to clean up our marshes." |
