Sinkhole: “Declaration of Emergency” to ensure public safety after shallow gas pockets found near edge of Napoleonville Salt Dome
BATON ROUGE – Louisiana Commissioner of Conservation James Welsh announced today that he has ordered all companies operating on the Napoleonville Salt Dome to immediately begin work to assess the presence of natural gas in both the ground water aquifer and the salt dome cap rock beneath their operations; capture, vent or flare any natural gas that is encountered; and analyze any potential impacts to ground water in the Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer.

Welsh said he issued the order to dome operators as part of a formal Declaration of Emergency and Directive to ensure public safety following the Office of Conservation’s discovery of two shallow pockets of natural gas in an area between the western edge of the Napoleonville Salt Dome and the Bayou Corne community. A contractor hired by the Office of Conservation drilled monitoring wells to sample for natural gas, and encountered the natural gas pockets at a depth of less than 50 feet from surface on Thursday.

This discovery comes as Conservation staff analyzed new data from Texas Brine LLC’s report to the Office of Conservation. The data indicated pockets of natural gas within the Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer and the cap rock above the salt dome. That data came after DNR ordered Texas Brine to evaluate belowground conditions. Part of Texas Brine’s effort to comply with that order included the drilling of a shallow well to house seismic equipment in addition to the deeper well intended to enter the abandoned salt cavern.

And not to go all conspiracy or anything- but can anyone confirm when the "alleged" Russian sub was in the Gulf in relation to when the bubbling and sinkhole first started in Bayou Corne?

I love the way they keep peppering their articles with the word Natural all through them...psycologically it causes people to think less of the situation....if they used the word Methane instead then perhaps people would realise the serious nature of the situation!

This is a major disaster of huge proportions.

I think they are saying natural gas cause it is, sevaral companies are storing their natural gas in the napolian salt dome. I think we have a leaking cavern and not just the one texas brine are checking, as that was not storing gas.

[link to www.southernstudies.org]

"Although abandoned wells and leaky pipelines are no longer considered to be the source, bigger questions remain. The Bayou Corne and Grande Bayou communities sit atop the Napoleon Salt Dome. Until last year, Texas Brine mined salt from the dome and several companies currently store natural gas and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in the caverns."

That's not to say it's not a serious situation, it is, it looks like the whole salt dome may be in trouble, eventually. ie like a slow domino effect.

Methane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Methane (pronounced /ˈmɛθeɪn/ or /ˈmiːθeɪn/) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4. It is the simplest alkane, the main component of natural gas, and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. The relative abundance of methane makes it an attractive fuel. However, because it is a gas at normal conditions, methane is difficult to transport from its source.
Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas. The concentration of methane in the Earth's atmosphere in 1998, expressed as a mole fraction, was 1745 nmol/mol (parts per billion, ppb), up from 700 nmol/mol in 1750. By 2008, however, global methane levels, which had stayed mostly flat since 1998, had risen to 1800 nmol/mol.[3]

Some of these elite pricks would store it in their elderly mothers' vaginas if it was the cheapest and easiest way to make a lot of cash.

I know that is blunt, but people in this country need to wake up to what real evil is. We have went so far off the rails and we cannot even see it as a society. I am not talking about gays or the abortion debate, but about the countless things that are far more demonic than either of those subjects ever could be.

Really, the most of humanity around the globe is sick. People need to wake up, because somethIng is coming this way for us. We have seriously fucked things up at our own quantum level physically and metaphysically. The macro/universe will react and has begun to react to our transgressions.

I wish you all well, we head towards dark days. I hope our current generations come out of it with a chance to put things back together. Otherwise, we will die as a species or we will be reduced to the brink. Then, hundreds of thousands of years to rebuild, so one day, that society can have myths about us.

Here in Canada they almost exploded a nuclear bomb in the tar sands to see if it would free up oil. The bomb had already been acquired, but then Prudhoe Bay in Alaska was discovered and the oil company's budget dropped the oil sands project.

The Russians actually tried this and rendered an entire oil field unfit for use because the oil became radioactive.
