Not sure how the mechanics of it work but if they pump water from the Gulf to cool down the engines and the water is full of oil and plugs up the syatem then maybe the result is that the engine catches on fire. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9316729 . That's an intriguing theory... No its not. First off he did not read. Its gas and the Cruise ship was not anywhere around that area. Do you think these boats get to sail right up to a platform and say look mommy its a drilling rig. Fuck you people. Engines are not water cooled in those things either. Get your facts straight before you mouth off next time. WOW!!!! Someone needs a release.. Take the seat off your bike and go ride a few miles. ![]() |

I plainly stated I did not know the mechanics of it and I suspect neither do you. The Gulf is already saturated with leaked oil. No one knows for sure how bad it is since they decided to put chemicals on it to sink it out of sight. Take your anti-suppressant pills and calm down and hopefully your mother will not make you go to bed early tonight and you can come back here and apologize to me. . . |

Who Inspected the Apache Corp drill site before the leak? The Minerals Management Service, part of Barack Obama's Department of the Interior. Who Granted the Drilling Permits to conduct the drilling? The Environmental Protection Agency, a Cabinet-level office of the Barack Obama Administration.

Get your facts straight before you mouth off next time. Ahh yes they the do you ever fish along the pylons of a rig some of the best fishing the gulf. Granted a cruise ship that size wont get up close a personal. And yes every boat and ship has heat exchanger raw water on one side sea water on the other and in fact oil will plug one and cause the SSDGs to over heat along with propulsion motors been there done that. |
| JIMMY User ID: 27653489 02/15/2013 07:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Uncontrolled gas flowing from well in Gulf of Mexico — UPDATE: Trying to stop it from moving underground A natural gas well located approximately 50 miles east of Venice in the Gulf of Mexico is releasing gas uncontrolled and has been evacuated, according to a report today in Fuel Fix, an energy news website operated in part by the Houston Chronicle. The site reports 15 workers were evacuated from the Ensco 87 rig, which sits in 218 feet of water, after tests found natural gas had migrated from the 8300-foot well to a sand formation approximately 1100 feet below the seabed. This uncontrolled flow happened after a blowout preventer had been activated. Quoting: Paa Tal [link to enenews.com] It looks like everythings under control at the moment. [link to www.offshore-mag.com] BSEE monitoring offshore gas leak 1 5 0 6 Share Offshore staff HOUSTON – Offshore oil and gas regulators in the US are responding to a report of an underground gas flow at an Apache Corp.-operated exploratory well in the Gulf of Mexico. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) said no gas or pollution had been detected at the Main Pass 295 drill site, which is in 218-ft (66-m) water depths about 50 mi east of Venice, Louisiana. Apache successfully activated the blowout preventer on the Ensco 87 when the drilling rig experienced what Apache described in a statement as “a kick from an abnormally pressured gas zone” on February 5. Subsequent testing detected gas migration from the bottom of the well, which had reached 8,261 ft (2,518 m), to another sand formation about 1,100 ft (335 m) below the seabed. “The well was shut in, and the blowout preventers are functioning properly,” Apache said. The company has brought in well control experts from Boots and Coots to kill the well and is mobilizing the Rowan Cecil Provine rig to the site in case a relief well needs to be drilled. There were no injuries associated with the incident. Fifteen non-essential crew members were evacuated and about 50 remain on board the rig, Apache said. 02/15/2013 |
