BREAKING!Senator Nelson:Casing Broke...Oil Leaking from Seafloor!!! | |
Dread Pirate Roberts User ID: 989246 United States 06/07/2010 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BP Well Bore And Casing Integrity May Be Blown, Says Florida’s Sen. Nelson [link to emptywheel.firedoglake.com] Oil and gas are leaking from the seabed surrounding the BP Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico, Senator Bill Nelson of Florida told Andrea Mitchell today on MSNBC. Nelson, one of the most informed and diligent Congressmen on the BP gulf oil spill issue, has received reports of leaks in the well, located in the Mississippi Canyon sector. This is potentially huge and devastating news. If Nelson is correct in that assertion, and he is smart enough to not make such assertions lightly, so I think they must be taken at face value, it means the well casing and well bore are compromised and the gig is up on containment pending a completely effective attempt to seal the well from the bottom via successful “relief wells”. In fact, I have confirmed with Senator Nelson’s office that they are fully aware of the breaking news and significance of what the Senator said to Andrea Mitchell. Furthermore, contrary to the happy talk propounded by BP, the Obama Administration and the press, the likely success of the “relief well” effort on the first try in August is nowhere near a certainty; and certainly nowhere near the certainty it is being painted as. I may have been uncomfortably close to the mark. And the quote from Sir Richard Mottram was dead on the money; if Senator Nelson is correct about the breach of fundamental well integrity, the game is close to over for the Gulf of Mexico. We shall see where this goes from Nelson’s initial comment. But make no mistake, Nelson is a careful guy not prone to overt hyperbole, and he clearly understood the ramifications of what he was saying. It also means, of course, that BP and the Obama Administrations continue to give the American public short shrift in the truth and honesty departments. How surprising. "From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 |
Jdd User ID: 919551 Canada 06/07/2010 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Vedic sastra (scripture) describes a situation that took place millenia ago on the earth planet, where one of the major demons began removing huge quantities of gold from the earth. The result was that the earth orb 'lost its balance', and fell down into what is known in Vedic cosmology as the Garbhodaka Ocean (think of it as falling out of orbit). It's also said that removing too much oil can have the same affect. These underground pressures fit that scenario. Then again... Sickscent's commentaries on the effects of magnetosphere anomalies fit, too... I heard a woman call in to radio show over weekend, and she suggested that the floor is cracking or splitting since the Haiti quake. I am not sure what show it was, maybe Ben Ferguson? but the host said. OH THERE YOU HAVE IT BETH FROM x says that's what happened.. sarcasm, ridicule.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 607554No one wants to entertain the idea it could be natural and part of larger issues re: methane, shifting, seismic activity etc. The methane, underground craters, seismic shifting is natural, man digging to such depths that he cracks the seafloor like an egg, altering the process and speeding up his own demise is NOT natural. But it is the excuse man uses to justify his reckless greed and refusal to respect the laws of nature. And the fact that he is a creature of the earth, not lord and master of it. If he doesn't know, he's about to find out. Very shortly. |

This is potentially huge and devastating news. ---------- They're all liars yet people still believe it's gotta be true. the Deepwater Horizon rig was drilling into what BP itself considered a very small deposit of oil5000 feet down. You could stop and wonder why they went to the expense and trouble of doing that for little or no return on an estimated 100 million barrels. THUNDER HORSE is the main oil deposit it's BP's BIGGIE. Now if TH was leaking BP might need some diversion to attract people's attention away from it while they worked to attempt to fix the problem. My guess is BP may have blown Macondo for that purpose. And they would have known in advance that it was impossible to pipe the oil up from 5000 feet down.... never been done before ( according to the experts) so they may have 'rigged' it to blow Most of the oil spill out there in the Gulf is likely from Thunder Horse not Macondo.

In fact, on the surface his claims to not make a lot of sense as he said there was a lake of oil forming on the bottom of the sea bet 5 or 6 miles from the well head. He went on to say that the size of the lake was enormous -- covering hundreds of square miles. If this were the case, why are we not seeing a lake of oil covering up the BOP as it is only miles away.
