ALERT! Sinkhole grows 400 feet, gas pressure too great for drillers

Growth was always expected they just don't know by how much. As for the gas I think that was unexpected.

I wonder how close this is getting to that butane area now?

they are piercing through the salt dome tomorrow
really hoping stuff doesn't collapse/explode/erupt/whatever
no way could i live there especially with all the strange seismic activity the scientists are trying to understand
hell no
i'd be happy to evacuate and get a check
i just don't have a good feeling about louisiana
sorry folks
between bp, seafloor holes, methane gas, dry/salty mississippi, an unexplained expanding toxic sinkhole, bubbles/gas, etc.
i just couldn't do it

No idea, don't know which way the spread is or where the butain is, I'm more concerned about the high presure of the gas pockets myself, that just seems strange. I'm a bit scared about when the get into the texas brine cavern, no one knows what will be found.

megavolcano. And its about to pop.

I noticed another thread about the sinkhole that got pinned but that YouTube was pulled. If you read the writers report the YouTube link is in her article. She can't even embed the video.

Interesting...

This link for latest sinkhole flyover:

I saw that yesterday or earlier, can't remember., but can't think of why they have taken it down, I must have missed whatever they don't want seen.

crackergeddon )

bonus of fucking out the sipp so no food shipments go out to useless eaters is also a possibility

Yeah - pulling that vid and having another one that you can't embed - now THAT is a conspiracy if you ask me!

Sounds like Disaster on a porn set!

hmmm,correction there - just the reporter can't embed the new vid in her article. Strange, and she has been on that story 24/7. Fishy.

thats so bad its awesome!

I'm just trying to workout why they changed it at all, it seems to be the same vid as far as I can tell.

They've disabled comments on it too. Obviously they don't want to deal with any questions there.

Interesting to see all the gas pipelines that go through that area and head to all the different areas of the US..

Here's a great vid they just posted today from a boat right up in the sinkhole area. Looks like they are least trying to disclose what it's looking like.

Blazar is very,very close now!!!!

Holy shito, we are so doomed....

Back in 2008 I saw well heads in the Barnett Shale rated 20,000 psi and you can control high Pressure gas wells by using coiled tubing with crosslinked gel... So it would have to be over say 15,000 psi which would be highly unlikley in a salt dome storage without some external geophysical force cranking up the pressure.... If it is indeed to high to be controlled by modern drilling techniques, my advice is RUN! RUN VERY FAST!

seriously?
what do you make of this bit from the Assumption blog?
[link to assumptionla.wordpress.com]

Drilling of the sonic rig that encountered gas at 90’ on Friday was stopped and plugged with cement and grout as they were unable to put in the water well due to the inability to control the gas pushing mud and water to the surface. DNR hired The Shaw Group engineers to redesign a well that can be placed for venting operations. The geo-probe rigs for observation continue to be placed at lower depths to check for the presence of gas. They’re currently working on the Dugas & LeBlanc property, north of LA-70 and two geo-probe wells have been placed on Triche property. DNR is currently looking for locations as well as willing individual property owners to place additional geo-probe observation wells.

followed by this:

As stated on yesterday, DNR has ordered all companies with active industry on the salt dome (Texas Brine, Chevron, Cross Tex, Dow, Pro Mix, Acadian, and PB Energy) to investigate for the presence of natural gas and ordered to vent any gas found. Each company was required to submit their plans regarding this order to DNR. Parish officials and state agencies will review and discuss these plans this afternoon at the industry meeting. The parish should also be receiving engineered plans from DNR for the vent wells that will be placed within the community sometime this week.

SWEET...SOUNDS LIKE DNR IS ORDERING A TAPPING INTO , ? , GUD KNOWS WHAT....AND THE DRILLERS ARE UNABLE TO CONTROL THESE PRESSURES FROM THEIR TAPS.....THIS PEEK A BOO...MAYBE DOOM...IS THERE MANACONDA PRESSURES IN THESE SALT DOME CAVERN?

babylon in one hour maybe

Would it seriously blow to the end of those lines.
Thats a long way.

Thanks OP!
I embedded them for you.

No...it takes lots of oxygen to make things go boom...

i have been reading all these salt dome threads and the sinkhole and the gasses and the 'oh shits' and 'dooms' but i have no idea what this all means. can anyone tell me truly what the danger is- i mean an explosion? how big would that be? how far reaching? harmful gas pollutants? what is the salt dome fear? I just dont know what this really all means in plain english to the people of louisiana, the enviroment, the rest the world?? someone please enlighten me on this frightening hole in the earth. thanks

It said 400 square feet, thats about the size of a standard two car garage
