Massive Flow Of Bullshit Continues To Gush From BP Headquarters

[WHAMPOM]

2012 NEWS!! The uncapped BP spill is now rounding Cape Horn.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Pretty sure we have all seen live feed. Whats all the other stuff coming out with the oil.
Also it would seem that the 7,500psi of pressure is wromg by alot . It much much higher.

The people getting sick was said to be from the dispersant that also seems not to be the case . many other gases are coming out and is whats causing sickness. I won't print what the Psi real rate is until more conformation . But its higher than 20,000 psi which increases the amout of flow considerably . I was unaware that this was a deep well . Very deep well . 5,ooo water depth drill depth into earth is around 35,000 feet . Only the russians have gone deeper and thats on land . This is going to be a nightmare in real life.

All kinds of nasty stuff coming out where it would normally not.

They've tapped into the primordial soup.

Well it would seem that the very nature of crude oil is not what we thought. I was taught that Crude was a fossil fuel . There seems to be a hugh debate on that thinking. When I was taught this I often wondered how the oil got so deep into the earth .Many are saying now in scientific community oil is mocrob based . Which is good news for us . But BP and others will try to suppress this information . It changes everthing. IF true.

If the pressure is what the russians and others are saying . They will not beable to stop this . Which I already believed anyway. But scientific support on that thinking there is. But none will think anything of it till after august. Than the flags will go up . If the pressure is what the russians say it is these relief wells cann't be drill . We as a nation need to know befor BP drills these side shafts.

The relief wells will work. It is what has always worked in the past. Once they reduce the pressure of this well, they will be able to plug this one up.

The oil industry has been saying for a while that old wells when left capped for a while do appear to "refill" to some extent. There is some good evidence that oil is microbe based.

BP has never drilled this deep befor its new ground they tread . The russians have . I hope your right . But if the pressure is what the russians say and they do know . These relief wells will just add to the problem But oil is already coming up from fractures now . Not old fractures but new ones recent ones and there growing as the hugh pressure cuts away the crust.

😵 thats gonna be fun

 

[Nemesis 1]

No its not going to be fun it was never intended to be fun. But whats done is done.

For now many will find this amusing. But in august when the oil leak has increase its spill volumn . less will be amused come sept when all hell breaks lose none will lol.

Actually they have drilled this deep before. They recently completed a well that was much deeper.

Its funny to see the apologists keep apologizing.

It started with people saying "its only 1000 barrels a day" the Exxon spill was way worse.

Then it was 5000 barrels a day then 10k then 14k then 25k now possibly 40k and in some circles worst case is 100k. So excuse the world from giving 2 shots about how bp can drill even deeper then this. Do they know how to stop a leak even deeper? cus thats all I care about.

I am not being an apoligist, just stating the truth. BP has drilled deeper than this failed well.

Yes the relief well will eventually fix the problem. It is what has always controlled uncontrollable blowout well.

And yes BP needs to fix this as fast as possible and clean up the mess they created as well.

Listen this is real shit. This isn't a debate about some fucking meaningless in scope bullshit . You link a deeper drill well 1 mile at bottom of Gulf Ocean. A link now that BP has done this . We need not be passive on this issue. Help yourselves and help may find you. Than after you find the mystery well. I wwamt to know its head. Lets see this myth that BPdrilled. LINK.

This one is almost a mile down, but much deeper below that.

http://www.alabamarivers.org/press-room/headlines/bp-rig-drilled-worlds-deepest-offshore-well

Last year, it set a world record for the deepest oil and gas well when it drilled 35,055 feet into the Gulf of Mexico.


Who is being passive on this issue?

Both of you need to read little bit about what is oil reservoir geology - "microb based" theory is such BS that its not even funny. Mothballed "depleted" wells can produce oil again if oil move to their area from other parts of oil reservoir - how much of it can move there depends on viscosity of that oil, porosity and permability of reservoir rock etc.

meh. why do I bother, its not like people here in PN would listen anyway...

Your first link is interesting but follow threw . It has a known head what is that head . Find that info than we can continue . Also you said BP has fixed blow outs like these wells befor . Where and when . Your second link is this incident. Also the russians have drilled deeper but they must not count. Unless this record is for Deep water only.

When there have been uncontrollable wells for the last 100 years, relief wells were always the final solution when the other options did not work.

I am not saying it is true, but there does appears at some evidence of microbes being the cause.

This seems in some ways a novel issue. I do hope that they can solve it with a relief well.

Since most of the "Drill, baby, drill" crowd are members of the religious right, how come their all-powerful God hasn't chosen to stop the BP gusher? Surely God listens to their prayers. Surely their prayers are just. Surely the livelihoods of innocents are being destroyed. Not to mention the destruction of the environment. Surely God has the power to just stop that gusher in its tracks.

Come on, you religious idiots, where's the magic?

We'd drill in ANWAR where this type of thing wouldn't happen. But you left wing ecokooks prefer we drill at 50,000 feet below the sea instead of on a piece of land where nobody lives.

YOUR God Obamamessiah has done nothing. He can't even be bothered to pick up the phone and talk to the CEO of BP.
