OIL SPILL >>> Coming from Mardi Gras Pipeline

Why do you think that, OP?

read.

Leaks miles apart.

Multiple plumes that says the leak is larger then thought.

Different color oil slicks

This is bad

That's what Matt Simmons has been trying to tell us...

Looking for a map that shows the physical relationships to these sites...

Although hard to believe things could get "even worse"...

About 26,420 miles (42,520 kilometers) of onshore oil and natural gas pipelines snake through coastal counties between Mobile Bay (map), Alabama, and Galveston

There is a small map in the link. Scroll down a little and it is on the left.

Zoom in.

Large one here

That is incomplete.

Look at the map in the link at page top. I tried to upload to photobucket but it fails everytime

your on the right track ''crap' now see ahead a few chess moves .... think aout the plumes.... the distances apart... systemic.

ok heres a clue mcgue.... how much d2 does the us have in strategic national reserve?

There is definitely something more to this. Word of oil spills with sources miles away from this well. How does this network connect?

We better find a way off this rock within the next 2.5 years!

It dosen't look like it runs anywhere near where that rig went down, or that it was connected to this Highway...at least not from the area of the Gulf that they say the rig was in anyway..

I can understand how we might have leaks that have developed along a natural sub-sea fault to something, especially if they happened to be drilling next to it .
I can see where all the pressure from the initial blow-out could have created areas where oil would push up from the cavern below...
I can also see where them trying the top kill could have made these natural leaks worse...

Can you explaine just how you think this pipeline has been affected by the blow-out, and is now leaking?
I'd sure appreciate it.... :)

Well now you know why they don't want the fisherman out there who 'know' these waters.

look at this map again, look at New Orleans and then you will know where the rig was. Right on top of the network.

This is the only map I can find but it came straight from the oil companies in a 2005 article.

my bfds a ex captain. his freind is runnin a boat in louisian (getting paid loads of cash)and is texting what he is seeing down there:(

my bf didn't tell me about these texts cause he knew I'd get upset.

wow

dead dolphins being towed to shore...no chain of command....total chaos.

wow

Did you read the article I posted for you?

What are you talking about how are these pipelines an issue?
Its leaking from a newly drilled well not the existing pipelines.

The pipelines are and may become an issue.
People just aren't paying attention.

ok ill give you a free pawn. d2 ie bunker fuel is not held in strategic reserve. ie answer being '0' d2 has major producers like gazprom rosneft adnoc cnooc etc. but especially in Iran. if most of the continental production of distallate crude were to e endangered by problems in the gulf then where oh wehere would the usa turn .... we cant take out russia...china nope.... uae is an ally....but Iran? where is the bulk of the navy now again? scotoma ....think systemically.

Yup,
Feeder lines/pipes all over-underground TX-La-Ms-Al-FL- and some really big ones going inland feeding further East/North.

Its a goat-fuck...

These pipelines ARE the issue...

ok heres a knight for ya.... why did we turn down the persians offer of help concerning the pipe?

IMO, this is why a nuke in the hole is not an option. So many pipelines, and once onshore, they link into the continental US. Can you imagine these fittings being rattled loose in a nuke blast? anything that might create friction could send firey repercussions throughout the system. I know they have points of shutdown, but fast enough? I don't know.

Cameron, Halliburton named in lawsuit over Gulf spill

A BP investor has filed suit against the company's directors, saying they made cost cuts related to safety in order to pursue profits, which led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster that could cost the company billions.

The suit filed May 7 by shareholder Katherine Firpo also names Transocean and Houston companies Cameron and Halliburton as defendants. The companies' insurers also are named.

Firpo claims BP Chief Tony Hayward and other directors who sit on internal environmental and ethics panels did not improve safety practices as they promised in a settlement with other shareholders over the fatal explosion in 2005 at the Texas City refinery, Bloomberg said.

"Even after a 2006 shareholder derivative proceeding brought as a last resort to require BP to address safety concerns was voluntarily settled out of court, these defendants continued to ignore and disregard safety issues concerning the company's deepwater operations," Lewis Kahn, of Kahn, Swick & Foti LLP, said in papers filed May 7 in New Orleans federal court.

The directors made "purely cosmetic changes at the corporate level while ignoring the substance of the safety violations and the threat they posed to the entirety of the Gulf, commercial and private property, and the company's own survival as a going concern," Kahn said in the filing on behalf of Katherine Firpo, a shareholder since 2007.

Cameron is listed in the suit as the manufacturer of the blowout preventer that "failed to function properly." Halliburton provided cementing services.

The suit also claims that the defendants lobbied state and federal agencies to remove or decrease the extent of safety and maintenance regulation of Gulf operations.

Reuters reported that last year BP's lobby spending was $16 million, up from just $3.6 million in 2006.

BP spent $3.5 million in the first quarter of this year alone.

BP now faces almost 100 civil lawsuits, Bloomberg said. Many of those are proposed class actions on behalf of fishermen, shrimpers, seafood processors, property owners and tourism-related businesses.
