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."

“Looks like a CBL run for cement evaluation was never done.”
Correct - it wasn’t. Mid March (when the tool got lost) was also about when an internal memo regarding the conditions and summary of the hole to that date was prepared. Also about the time that BP CEO sold 1/3 of his BP stock. And Goldman-Sachs sold a bunch too.

I’m not trying to scare anyone, but I have been consumed with research this past couple of weeks (recovering from surgery and my laptop has been my best friend during down time) and these things are not some cooky stuff. I also watch a lot of Discovery channel and remembered the crater discovered off the Mexican coast and the part about hydrogen sulfides. Started looking into it and found a scientist who was familiar with the extinction event.
I am NOT saying we are all gonna die. I am saying that we take for granted that big giant things can’t happen out of our control. This was an event started by human hands, but it is a possibility that it will soon be out of our hands.
Ok, so, I guess I should use Corexit 9500 to wash my clothes in then...maybe my dishes too. perhaps we should let children swim in it as well. Should be fine.
Oh...That's nice...

He was right!
There is a thread today with a link to a local TV station where they broadcast a film of crop damage that is occurring. It is damaging all crops , and killing some birds.
Mystery Crop Damage Threatens Hundreds Of Acres....

I proposed, last week, that magma movement down deep could have caused a rise in pressure of the oil wells. The others, long in place, were safer, and constructed better (no skimping on seals).
No one probably remembers, or was aware of this, but two Volcanoes erupted in Guatamala. A sign of magma movement? Yes. Close to the Gulf? Yes.
These 'drills' are equipped with a 'homing device'. They target in on the magnetic field of the pipe casing.
I never said ALL dispersants are bad. I don’t give a flying *%&^ how many degrees you have, NONE of them make you an expert on millions of gallons of Corexit being used 5000 feet under the water. BP, EPA have both admitted this is uncharted territory.
I would hope than anyone that owns a computer knows how to copy and paste. If they don’t, they are sure wasting a lot of time. Are you suggesting that we should retype every link and article rather than copy or cut and paste? You are a maroon. Don’t bother to reply to me again, I won’t respond. How much Nalco stock do you own?
Indeed they are. :)
I am unaware of magnetic sensors, but there may be some aside from the normal survey tools. But come to think of it, those are affected by casing, and may well serve as a close proximity steering aid.
Thanks, mojitojoe. It really seems like there are a number of people doing whatever they can to deny, discount, crack jokes, or whatever about this spill. I can’t really understand why people are doing this, and I also don’t care.
DallasMike, if you want to continue to insert your head in the sand about this catastrophe, then please, by all means, do so. Let me just suggest that you stick your head in the sand of Grande Isle, Louisiana. Then perhaps you may understand the gravity of this situation, but somehow, I doubt it.
I know, and I don’t doubt you. They are not telling us the truth, they are hiding things. I’ve done research too and have several friends in the Coast Guard. There is a cover up and I don’t know why.
Do you wear a mask in case her’s falls off? Had to throw some humor in there.
LOL ... I did think that the picture, itself, was humorous ... :-)
WHERE did you come up with this??? Any hydrogen sulfide immediately dissolves in seawater, and then precipitates as a harmless solid, as soon as it finds a calcium or iron ion.
3000 ppb (actual 3 ppm) of benZENE (not benZINE) is about what is normally present in gasoline. You breath it every time you fill your cars gas tank. Have you died yet???
And "metholine chloride" (actually methylene chloride) is not a constituent of oil, nor is it naturally found in the earth. So this has to be total bullshit.
And your ravings about Corexit are completely nuts. There is nothing in Corexit that has that kind of toxicity.
Anybody else had it up to their eyeballs yet with the “dead mackerels and seaweed” theory of where all that oil is coming from?
This is abiotic oil coming from the mantle and there is far more there than what’s in the mideast.
But we might not be able to control/contain it.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
You got it in one.
