BP and Obama need to level with the Country!!
“BP and Obama need to level with the Country!!”
They won’t.
bflr
This strikes me as idle speculation. Seem more likely that it didn't work because the pressure was just too great and kept ejecting the mud, which would argue against this theory presented as fact.
Obama, level with the country?
Yeah... that’ll be the day.
NUKE IT!
These seem to be the same comments that were posted on The Oil Drum a couple of days ago. Very scary indeed.

No, it is pretty much the official position. The volume of mud (benite, etc.) injected was far greater than what was ejected through the BOP. It disappeared into the formation through the broken casings.
Yea why mess with oil contamination when you can have radioactive fallout drifting around the ocean.
Did they not understand the risks before drilling so deep?
Did they not understand that the technology for controlling this may not be adequate at those well pressures?
Did they not understand what the pressures would or could be at that depth?
Gouget said the loss of a wellhead is totally unprecedented.
"How bad it could get from that, you will have a tremendous volume of oil that is going to be offgassing on the coast. Depending on how much wind is there, and how those gases build up, that's a significant health concern," he said.
this has been debunked over on The Oil Drum. The situation is bad enough without getting our bebers stuned.
I spent 25 years in the oil and gas business. This is a pretty accurate assessment of the situation. It is potentially much more catostrophic than the public is being made to believe. At this point the remaining hope is the relief wells - and if those don’t work, BP better be poking holes all over the area to produce the oil and reduce the pressure and flow volumes.....red
“The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.”
Someone forgot to mention the relief wells, which would give them the ability to control the well, casing or no. Of course, such thoughts sure do foul up a good apocalyptic rant.
OK, the AP article is from early May and talks about the rate being more than the government estimate of 1-5,000 barrels per day.
We KNOW the rate is more like 50,000 barrels and BP is catching about 15,000 of that they hope to catch 90% this month.
So the riser leaks are unrelated to the total blowout leaking millions of barrels scenario.
IMHO the article posted above is largely BS, the relief wells are designed to kill the well far below the rock fissures discussed in the article.
Must not have followed the destruction of Kuwait's oilfields when the Iraqis left. Of course, we know those wells are all still burning away...NOT!
Hope you/\’re right. BTW — this isn’t my rant.
God help us!
Between that inept fool in The White House, and this disaster, it feels like America is dying.
