TX PATRIOT User ID: 1011195 United States 06/29/2010 04:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: TheWatcher I conducted a bit of methane hydrate research the first day of the rig explosion after reading the fishermen's eyewitness account. Some of what I found...let's start with this one: Methane Hydrates: A Primer - and implications... Methane hydrates represent an enormous untapped energy resource. Estimates of the total volume of methane gas locked in hydrate deposits worldwide range widely from about 105 trillion standard cubic feet (TCF) to 2.7 x 10^8 TCF (i.e., 2.8 x 10^15 to 7.6 x 10^18 cubic meters). Even at the lower end of this range, the energy contained in the methane hydrate resource exceeds that of all known coal, oil, and natural gas reserves. If practicable recovery techniques can be developed, then methane hydrates may play a major role in meeting the world's future energy needs. Hydrates are crystalline solids comprising water molecules linked by hydrogen bonds in a tight polyhedral cage structure. Guest molecules, which can include various hydrocarbons found in natural gas mixtures, reside in the interstices of this lattice. Methane (or other hydrocarbon) molecules are packed closely together in the hydrate lattice. A cubic meter of hydrate yields about 160 cubic meters of methane at standard temperature and pressure and about 0.87 cubic meter of water. This relatively high energy density has prompted studies to investigate hydrates as an alternative means to transport and to store natural gas. Methane hydrates are found in high-pressure, moderate-temperature regimes in ocean sediments and low-temperature Artic permafrost zones. Methane hydrate is stable in seafloors below about the 450-meter depth in open oceans with an average temperate hydrothermal profile. Significant marine hydrate deposits have been identified worldwide in continental margins. Sediment layers in deep ocean basins also may contain large deposits of methane hydrates, but these areas have not yet been thoroughly explored. The photo shows a surface outcropping of methane hydrates encountered in the Gulf of Mexico. During the first half of the 20th century, blockage of natural gas pipelines by methane hydrates posed a serious problem for the gas industry. Research was initiated to study hydrate properties and formation and dissociation phenomena, and to develop means to inhibit and remediate hydrate formation in pipelines. After solutions to the pipeline blockage problem had been identified and implemented, interest in methane hydrates waned. Naturally occurring methane hydrates remained largely a curiosity for many decades, with limited practical use. Beginning in the early 1990s, interest in methane hydrates began to revive. While offering tremendous opportunities as a future energy resource, sedimental marine hydrate deposits also emerged as an immediate and formidable nuisance to offshore oil and gas operations, compromising sea floor stability and imperiling drilling activities. The hydrate problem has become more critical as oil and gas exploration and recovery move into increasingly deeper waters where hydrates abound. From a military perspective, it was recognized that characterizing the geo-acoustic properties of hydrate sediments was important to a number of naval operations, such as surveillance and mine detection. Finally, methane hydrates may exercise a profound effect on the global climate if the carbon sequestered in these solids is released into the environment by commercial exploitation of the fuel or through destabilization and outgassing induced by ocean warming. [link to www.hnei.hawaii.edu] ----- A couple notes of impact here: 1. GOM is the second largest field(s)/location to date of hydrates. Second only to that found in the perma frost. 2. There is now a race for hydrate energy. Were they (BP) looking for this? Was is an unintended "find"? Did we pop the hydrate trap? How large is this hydrate shelf? 3. Massive release of hydrates natural or otherwise is scientifically linked to quick shift in climate change (past ice ages from core samples) More findings to follow if you guys are interested..... . |

RenegadeSon User ID: 1020033 India 06/29/2010 05:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WE ARE FUCKED Quoting: dhlos 996606I FOUND WHAT B3 IS READ'EM AND WEAP "During the 1962-1964 period strategic analysts postulated the Soviet defense would have an improved discrimination (radar) capability and a greater defense in depth with "SPRINT" type interceptors by the post-1967 period. Various advanced POLARIS preliminary design concepts were studied by LMSC to offset the perceived Soviet threat. In October 1962, the POLARIS A3a was offered. It was a 66 in. diameter missile versus the prior 54 in. missiles. Concepts included a large single warhead, a three-warhead system, and penetration system options compatible with the missile system's desired maximum range. This was followed by various POLARIS B3 missile concepts. Various reentry system configurations were evaluated (e.g., a single warhead, a cluster of multiple warheads, an aerodynamic maneuvering warhead, a low-altitude terminal dash). These configurations were code-named B3D, B3H, B3E, etc. Finally in July 1963, Lockheed proposed a POLARIS B3D to counter the expected (1969 to 1970) increased defense against ballistic missiles. The POLARIS missile diameter would increase to 74 in. The SSBN launcher's inner tube sized for a 54 in. diameter missile would be removed and non-launchable seals (pads) would be installed directly to the outer tube to accommodate the B3D's 74 in. diameter." [link to www.fas.org] polaris hasn't been in use since the late sixties. In the seventies we were using poseidon C3 missiles. In the eighties they went to trident, which I think is still in operation. I suppose, for the sake of argument, someone may have a polaris B3 warhead.. but I doubt it.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 652750Please post link if you've got one working. Thanks Question to the ether. If the information is correct from Simmons about the size of the rim/caldera, what size volcano could we potentially be dealing with? Thank you to who ever can provide the answer. Good Q..don't know. He did mention that if it rises to the surface, we would eventually see the largest island formed in the world..in the Gulf. I think (according to Simmons) other catastrophic things are going to happen much before that though, he said the 1st of July we could see the worst case scenario, with the hurricane pushing toxic gases inland. Link is working but it says it's still in conversion ?? |

RenegadeSon User ID: 1020033 India 06/29/2010 05:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well people, I have been following this thread from the beginning. I have kept an open mind. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1002155After his last few posts I have come to the conclusion this OP is dangling a doom carrot in front of you all. I still not know exactly if he is legit or not...but it is looking like he is not. Sorry to say that, but you all need to start considering more seriously about this thread. Regards Be that as it may..and for what its worth..but,if what Simmons says is only half right, and I really have no reason to doubt him, we are in a world of deep do-do, even if the OP of this thread is stringing us all along..which seems somewhat unlikely given that what he is reporting strongly lines up with what Simmons is saying. |
