As I noted Tuesday, there is growing evidence that BP’s oil well – technically called the “well casing” or “well bore” – has suffered damage beneath the level of the sea floor.
The evidence is growing stronger and stronger that there is substantial damage beneath the sea floor. Indeed, it appears that BP officials themselves have admitted to such damage. This has enormous impacts on both the amount of oil leaking into the Gulf, and the prospects for quickly stopping the leak this summer.
On May 31st, the Washington Post noted:
Sources at two companies involved with the well said that BP also discovered new damage inside the well below the seafloor and that, as a result, some of the drilling mud that was successfully forced into the well was going off to the side into rock formations.
“We discovered things that were broken in the sub-surface,” said a BP official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. He said that mud was making it “out to the side, into the formation.”

personally, I am sick and damn tired of reading about the oil spill. Who really cares, anyway? The way I look at it is it will just quicken the timeline where we finally run out of fossil fuels.
ReplyDeleteWe've got two choices, get ready for a survivalist, anarchy style of future of get our collective heads out of our azzes and finally do something about alternative energy. Let that spill continue - maybe that will finally force someone to do what they have only been talking about for the past 40 years.
please google UN vehicles at an air base in jacksonville, fl. i have seen utube videos on all this. i think "o" is going to declare a "state of emergency" very soon. when this happens "o" will have powers that we will not want him to have. this is a serious matter as it is in process now. sometime back there were UN vehicles being brought into a base in Texas. to the thinking people who read this blog; you must understand that "we are entering into a phase" we are not going to like. where do we go from here?
ReplyDeleteThe world has become part of the problem , not part of the solution.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we handle these things in the media. It looks like another 911 to me , but , it's not been mentioned. Sounds like another Obama cover-up.
12:26, take it up with 11:54 who's sick n tired of reading about it. Media's giving the people what it wants -- nothin.
