wonder how long the cap would last

Even if it breaks, it still bought some valuable time for a more long term solution to be developed.

Now would be a good time to start dumping cement on top of it.

I searched it up and this is the quote:
So BP is an angel now? :rofl:

And I think where the oil lands is much more important than how much oil has spilled out...(which is what the media has mostly focused on)
1 millions barrel washed ashore is a lot worse for the environment than 100 millions barrel spilled in the middle of the pacific ocean

Its bad both ways.

l2r
that's why I said one is "worse" than the other, i didn't say either one of them is okay

Well Cap Causing Seabed to Leak -- Engineer

(Ken Price is a mechanical engineer who worked for a large oil company for 14 years. )

There are cracks in the seafloor leaking, and the pressure tests are revealing that the casing will not hold; it has already been perforated in numerous places.

[This is in contradiction to the latest mainstream press reports that there are no leaks either in the well cap or the sea floor.]

I believe it is time to leave the gulf coast in case the sea floor expands then collapses delivering a tsunami to the region.

There is no way that this device can hold the pressures that are involved with this super-pressurized gas reserve. Advise loved ones to leave the region, now, and for a few days; this well cap poses a much more dangerous situation than they probably know.

How can we get people in the gulf region to watch a couple hours of YouTube (see below) and read all that I have, such that they would come to the conclusion that they are in grave danger?

These nuts deliberately let crude flow through the pipe casing for a long enough time to insure that it is worn and weakened in numerous places, and now they apply a cap, and now they start pressurizing all of the layers of strata in between the oil reservoir and seafloor.

Few know of the existence of a power "group" that rules above the spoon fed TV characters called presidents, senators, governors, etc. You and I know, such a diabolical event does not happen without plan and execution.

Dave Lindorff is the one who has most recently brought this situation of the pressure spreading out under the layers beneath the sea floor to light. I'm trying to predict the timing. If there is one thing I have learned over and over again it is this: I cannot predict the timing of these tragic events.


Videos of Seabed Leaking

This is less of a problem than having 1,000,000 gallons plus of oil a day coming out the riser. It does not look significant and will stop as soon as the 2 relief wells are completed.

I do not work for BP.

Gonna get messy if all the pressure results in a huge tsunami

All this BP news has drowned out another oil disaster in China.

dam.. oil disasters around the world

It's amazing how horrible we are to what we've been entrusted with.

Mankind is going to end up killing itself before any sort of natural disaster does it to us.

We'll have lived less than 1% of the time dinosaurs ruled the earth.
So much potential, yet so much foail :(

I really hope this isnt a repost....as i dont really wanna sift through 24 pages again....

but heres some humour....

sry but it is a repost

so what's up?

the spill is still going, yet this thread is dead
:cry:

Actually the well has been shut for the last 3 weeks. They are going through the static kill process right now to shut it off permanently.

did it work ?

does it blend?

Yes. They managed to force the oil back down the well pipe, and are beginning to pump in cement today.

well how bought that eh golf clap


this disaster is not as bad as people put it out to be according to the news


and at lest they know how to fix them now

why cant they use these??

Well the whole thing was mismanaged right from the beginning. Why they didn't think of the capping stack in Month 1 instead of Month 3 is beyond me. It was a simple solution that made a whole lot of sense too: Unbolt old riser pipe flange from BOP, bolt on new flange to capping stack with new valves. Done.

Both the big and little top hats, and the original top-kill with junk shots were a complete waste of time.

Wow... Those pictures are really sad :(

i guess the stuff was not made yet or some thing like a multiplex municipality action going on
