Well what do you expect from a company that also
practices fracking, greed makes incautious!

 Quoting: Trickster

But there's much, more going on here ...


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.

Who has certified TODAY that they detected no gas at the seafloor and no sign of pollution at the location?
Barack Obama's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.


So have no worries, friend.

Barack Obama's in charge.

Re: Uncontrolled gas flowing from well in Gulf of Mexico — UPDATE: Trying to stop it from moving underground
Maybe that is why that Cruise ship caught on fire. 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...
 Quoting: Professor Xavier


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34417115


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.

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.

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.

well still not going well for the wells!

this is not new or not again....but STILL!

the whole area down in the southern central states are having issues with gas coming up and an over all over pressure on the wells they have.
everyone down there seems hell bent on drilling more holes to relieve said over pressure....now is it getting better?

here is a picture from a work site down in La.

sinker air

will we need there everywhere soon?

Thank You Ohbummer & BP! There is no stopping this & it will NOT end well. When BP drilled the Macondo Well they fractured the Louann Salt Layer & destabalized the Methane Hydrate Layer. This dissaster is truly beyond the comprehension of the vast majority of People. This "gas leak", the Macondo Well, the sink hole & the bubble sites around the baou(?sp) are all symptoms of one MAJOR catastrophy slowly unfolding & when it finally goes.......she's going to go BIG!

Just what is the life span of these blowout preventers? Salt water is corrosive, so I can't imagine them being structurally intact for the long haul. I just wonder where we will be decades or a century or two down the road.
