New Oil leak found 75 miles northwest of the BP webcam leak!!!! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 995008 Australia 06/06/2010 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK so HOW did this NEW leak get started. I say BULLSHIT!!! IMO it is a plume that has travelled under the surface and is settling in a low current area of the gulf. Unless the whole area has become unstable because of the initial shock of the leak this would be nigh on impossible as a natural occurance. |

It just may be a giant oil blob that came from the well. They could not find the edge. But it is 75 miles away from the well in an area that looks clear on the surface. |

I.E the oil from the current leaks is traveling underwater in giant plumes, and a new tentacle of the plume mass is heading where ever they discovered it Last Edited by nomind on 06/06/2010 10:19 PM My Interesting Karma messages: - "You are an idiot.

Kingman-Art (OP) User ID: 975792 United States 06/06/2010 10:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | no there is a map around here somewhere Quoting: Anonymous Coward 994598The article did say this: Last Sunday, NOAA confirmed reports of a second fissure about 5-7 miles from the original. This new fissure appears to be releasing a plume the size of Delaware and Maryland combined! So maybe NOAA has some maps ... Hmmm NOAA built the arc and the world got flooded. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 975904 United Kingdom 06/07/2010 01:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | from what I read, BP drilled a well, they drilled too fast ... made cracks ... they plugged that well and moved away then drilled another well (the one that is leaking now) so perhaps the 1st well is leaking I don't know the correct terminology, but here is a video: [link to www.youtube.com] |
mE User ID: 1023077 United States 07/02/2010 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | if the casing under the well isnt holding the oil/gas leaks into the adjacent formation which can cover a lot of area, if that formation is a depleted sand, the oil/gas will flow into it, its probably a sand saltwater formation that comes close to or breaches the surface in other places and may have a good caprock like shale covering it in most places, this would cause leaks to pop up away from the well, this isnt a pipeline leak or a "ruptured fault" whatever that is |
mE User ID: 1023077 United States 07/02/2010 01:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | if you want block locations you can download a map of GOM lease blocks from MMS from the web, I'm too lazy to look up the link but its there as I have it in pdf form on my desktop btw any cracks from drilling are tiny and cant cause this, by drilling too fast they can however connect a charged sand with a depleted sand that is seperated by a caprock and cause flow between the formations, along with other issues but thats not what is going on either for reference:a charged sand is a sand formation with high pressure and a depleted sand is a low pressure formation. see "abnormal pressure theory" for a deeper explanation of why we use casing programs to combat this, hydrocarbons are normally found in sand formations and there must be a caprock holding the hydrocarbons in the formation, like sand covered with salt or shale for most wells, imagine a jar of marbles, the hydrocarbons are found in the spaces between the marbles, these formations cover large areas and are pushed up in some areas and sunk in other areas, folded and sometimes even turned upside down, a reservoir is a formation that holds the hydrocarbons, its not a cavern, blowouts can happen underground just like they can happen at the wellhead btw, when this happens results like the article mentions often happen if the underground blowout was fairly shallow |
