*ALERT* Congressman suspects BP tapped multiple oil reservoirs while drilling the Macondo Well; Oil may also be rushing IN to damaged casing

Interesting theory

I used to drill enviromental wells a long time ago and as SHR can attest if the annulus is not properly sealed any water bearing zones above the targeted zone CAN leak into the annulus and be transported along the void into other zones.

This is a million times larger than anything I have ever done but I totally understand the implications of this theory.

Good post OP !!!

Excerpts:

The first report of cracks in the both rocks surrounding the well and in the well itself in February was only the first in a series of “well control events” or blowouts.

Since the initial February blowout, according to the findings of an interim investigation released by congress there have been a total of 5 “well control events” or blowouts including the final blowout that led to the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and collapse.

Details of the time line of the Macondo Well Blowouts are as follows:
1 - February 17-23: BP reports cracks in well casing and leaking of hydrocarbons into the surrounding rock formation. It took BP 3 attempts to fill the cracks with cement before the well control event was brought under control.
2 - March 2-5: BP reported another well control event that took 3 days to bring under control
3 - March 8-14: BP reported a well control event that took 7 days to get under control. A series of BP internal emails released by Congress showed
1. The surrounding rock formation actually collapsed on the drill.
2. BP was then given special permission to cement the well at a shallower depth than normally required because the hole caved in on drilling equipment.
3. Another BP email released by congress showed that unnamed MMS official at 11 p.m. on March 11 gave the special permission to insert the cement plug about 750 feet above the bottom of the hole .
4 - April 4-7: Well control event took 3 days to bring under control.
5 - April 20: Well control event leading to explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

You know, it just floors me that despite all of the problems they were having with this well, they decided to replace the drilling mud with sea water. WTF were they thinking?
