Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine

Note: Nothing near the Gulf of Mexico. No Polaris missiles involved.

The pressure and the temperature is what is causing the methane to freeze on the LMRD. Changing states to solid.

i see "lock down",
finally this bs thread will come to a end,
2 days left.

Thunder Horse built in South Korea houses 229, dry-towed on a 62-day trip to GOM, set sail from SK on 23 July 2004

BP Update on TH April 2009
"Offshore Engineer magazine reports that Thunder Horse is up and running... fast! The rig reached first oil in June 2008 and in April reached a production level of 310,000 boe/d (barrels per day) from just seven subsea wells, making the field the world's largest producer. Moored in 1900meters of water the oil gushes out at 1200 bar 135 degrees Celsius."

That'd be swell!!

135 degrees Celsius=275 F. hot enough to boil water 212 F.?

Here ya go, bottoms up, skoal! Anyone else?

You know what no one is mentioning, out of all the deep wells Russia drilled, only one didn't have to be closed off due to pressure. And, they made sure they only drilled deep on land due to this.

Where's that OP?

does a map of sunken nuke subs exist, maybe the warhead has such an origin

Well I'm hopping off for a bit, check back laters.

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.

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.....

Hey, Shill.

Scram!

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.

You maybe right ,but we each must find out for ourselves, anyhows,its one heck of a story if its not true, im on the fence on this one

Link is working but it says it's still in conversion ??

Your welcome

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.

Well, OP. Either you are truly on a lock-down or you have just milked your drama a little too dry.

Its after midnight in france, i'm sure he's asleep. Its following the same mode, leave us hanging until for the night and come up with something new the next day......he's good.

Iv`e Been following this thread since the start... havent a clue what the OP is trying to tell us ... BUT ....

I posted this 10 days ago on GLP, and was just wondering if it could be connected to what the OP is describing !!!!

Looks like we have a "Downhole" !!!!!!

I'm just now getting caught up from yesterday so I don't know if anyone offered you the name Gordon Michael Scallion yet.

Yes, he is.

Now, it could be that he got caught and is under lock and key at this very moment, electrodes attached to his nipples while standing in a bucket of water deep in the bowels of some gummit prision.

Or he could be in front of the computer, drink in hand, thinking of tomorrow's installment.

I don't know what to think anymore!

blech...

Wouldn't that be designated as a W47?

Just got a posting on my blog about this thread.

Someone mailed me :

Intelligence Community Directive (ICD)
- National security act, the intelligence reform and terrorism prevention act (IRTPA), executive order 12333, etc ...

Does anyone knows if that could be also a hint to what OP picked up ? code 301
I dont think so myself, but I could be wrong ;) I am not good in documents reading like this.

Probably in bed with a belly full of wine.

And laughing at the stupid Americans.
