BP Drilling At the Macondo Site Again?
A New Drilling Rig at the Macondo Site?
[link to phoenixrisingfromthegulf.wordpress.com]

Contrary to BP’s press statements (about sealing the well), the site activities did not die down. The number of vessels working in the area seems to have increased in recent times. Now forty-seven (47) days after the rogue well was supposedly “bottom killed permanently at 18000ft bml on 15 Sept 2010”, a new drilling rig (West Sirius) arrived at the Macondo site.

Both DD2 and DD3, commissioned to drill relief wells C and D respectively had been at location since May this year. With each drilling rig costing between 0.5 to 1 Million USD per day, why would BP want to have 3 rigs at site? It does not add up especially when there has been no official news of drilling new wells at the Macondo site.

...with the mid-term election fast approaching, BP was forced to hastily declare Premature Victory. The world was still hypnotized with the magic spell cast on capping the wrong well...

Gulf Drilling Ban Officially Lifted



US President Barack Obama has lifted a ban on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico that was imposed after the BP oil spill.

The six-month freeze was ordered following the Deepwater Horizon disaster that killed 11 workers and released thousands of tons of oil off the coast of Louisiana.

Tough new safety conditions for oil firms will reduce the risk of a repeat of the spill, according to the US government.

"We have decided it is now appropriate to lift the suspension on deepwater drilling for those operators that are able to clear the higher bar that we have set," said interior secretary Ken Salazar.

"The oil and gas industry will be operating under tighter rules, stronger oversight, and in a regulatory environment that will remain dynamic as we continue to build on the reforms we have already implemented."

The BP disaster was a wake up call, but our leaders keep hitting the snooze button

The deepwater drilling moratorium was originally due to expire at the end of next month.

It was lifted early after US politicians pushed through the revised safety conditions ahead of mid-term elections in November.

The drilling ban had drawn protests from Gulf of Mexico politicians worried about job losses and a court challenge from energy companies.

While reopening the deep Gulf waters will be welcome news for drillers like Transocean Ltd and explorers like Royal Dutch Shell, analysts say it will take months or years for activity to return to pre-April levels as firms comply with the new rules.

Re: BP Drilling At the Macondo Site Again?


...a BP drilling vessel, consisting of an entirely British crew, goes to drill a new hole in the Gulf, only to accidentally cause another leak, prompting one of the crewmen to exclaim "Oh, don't tell me we did it again!"






The CEO of the company, Tony Hayward, immediately issues a "we're sorry" campaign to try and avoid a severe public backlash, changing the name from "Beyond Petroleum" to "Dependable Petroleum" (its new acronym, DP, new logo and motto being a reference to double penetration).

Hmmm?

The first in a 12 part documentary series investigating the the real effects of the BP oil disaster on the people and environment of the Gulf.

The BP oil disaster has the potential to shift the entire global energy paradigm - IF the public stays focused and aware of the situation and it's consequences. As the mainstream media shifts away from the people and stories of the Gulf, Global Access Media's 12 part series, The Consequence of Oil, will continue to shine a light on the reality and long term effects of this disaster.
