Re: Methane Hydrate Site Immediately Offshore New Orleans,LA. Breaching Through Napoleon Salt Dome? The Smoking Gun.
Holy smokes! I think I found the smoking gun!!

This excerpt is from a USGS publication. It states as follows;

Hazards

Gas hydrates represent a hazard to
conventional oil and gas production. In the
Gulf of Mexico, oil and gas exploration is
extending into water depths where gas
hydrates occur at the sea floor.
Pumping
hot oil from great depths through drill
pipes can cause warming of sediments and
dissociation of hydrate, liberating large
amounts of methane, weakening sediments,
and perhaps generating pockets of
highly pressured gas.
The result might be
gas blowouts, loss of support for pipelines,
and sea-floor failure that could lead to
underwater landslides and the release of
methane from hydrates.

I have read that methane with a brine content burns with a purplish flame. I have also read in the old accounts of the new madrid quakes that the quake fissures released a gas that gave a purple tint to the atmosphere. Could these be related?

 Quoting: Tropicalgirl


Yes please do, I linked to a few others.

This needs to get out and go viral. This is either by plan or coincidence?
 Quoting: El Quisqueyano

how could it not be planned. it had the look of planned way back when. everything i have seen and read since have only confirmed it. no way could they not know the ramifications of what they were doing.
look how they have dragged their feet, and bumbled around and stalled to where it has got to this point and still they bumble around and stall, and act like they don't know what is going on.

La. sinkhole collapses after quakes, new size disputed

Snip:
Meanwhile, pressure building beneath locals who live above the salt dome, sometimes feeling like they are "walking on jello" and sometimes jolted from continuing quakes have sparked human rights concerns regarding security, especially for those experiencing these intrusions occurring out of the mandatory evacuation zone...

Well, I figure that it could only be one of three things:

1. Deepwater "blowout" was due to human error, they are attempting to deal with situations as they arise, and they are really not sure what is going to happen.

2. They were aware of building stress and fracturing which would eventually lead to catastrophic methane release, salt dome infiltration, cascading faultline rips, land subsidence and seawater inundation. They were attempting to mitigate these effects by systematic controlled-release of these stress forces.

3. They are directly attempting to cause the effects of #2.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 498151


It has always bothered me that they drilled so so close to the edge of a salt dome. Another deadly shortcut?

Thanks Mahala, that is an interesting read. If I felt the need to, I could probably find this on the U of M archival website. I was able to actually find my GF's law school photo there which was weird.

It's very scientific, but I will try to make my way through it. So much of what I am finding seems to be that common sense was ignored for the sake of productivity and cash.

Re: Methane Hydrate Site Immediately Offshore New Orleans,LA. Breaching Through Napoleon Salt Dome? The Smoking Gun.
Immediately off shore from New Orleans,LA there is a site of Gas Hydrate. Right in the same vicinity of the BP Macondo well oil spill. Could this be what has been breached and is now the cause of the bubbles and sink hole?

[link to pubs.usgs.gov]

You can see the red dot in the map. Dead smack in the middle of the area in question.

Excerpt;

Gas hydrates occur at many sites
along continental margins and in the Arctic
(fig. 1). Yet we know very little about
their composition, their volume, or the
best ways to exploit their resource potential.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
is investigating many aspects of gas
hydrates to understand their origin, their
occurrence, the factors that affect their stability,
and the possibility of using this vast
resource in the world energy mix.
 Quoting: El Quisqueyano


El Q, while I admire your tenacity, this is a little late in the game. I had already discussed this exact scenario with family members, and warned them of the dangers of drilling thru methane hydrates. Not just the enormous amount of pressure involved, but also their structure. Methane hydrates are lattice-like structures that are formed when methane/water freeze, sometimes at temperatures well above 32 degrees due to pressure. As you can imagine there is significant pressure where these hydrates form. Once you drill into these hydrates you essentially are relieving pressure and exciting the methane, on top of breaking down these lattice-like structures. Once this cycle starts, the only logical way to stop it is to expose the remaining hydrates to at least the same pressure and temperature.

As you can imagine, a little hard to do once this process starts. Who would have thought that we would be feeling the effects of the Deep Water Horizon so long after the incident?

I know this may sound wrong, but I am hoping for a sub-surface earthquake to heal the damage that BP has caused. It is the only power I can think of that can contain that amount of pressure and energy. It has done it for eons. So I have no doubt that it can contain it.

I just hope when the quake comes that it is not devastating, and people learn from it.

Methane hydrate extraction is a technology that should not be put to use for decades. The energy they contain is just too much for human kind to handle presently.

Kudos for this post!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18294120


^^^HAARP'S DADDY?!!^^^^

trying to add levity, but in all seriousness, you are insinuating the uptick in earthquakes is a "fix" for the methane that wants to come to the surface due to the tear caused by Deep Water Horizon?

Can I get a little more info here?
