To work. The relief well needs to have an intact bore above where it penetrates.
You are correct- Drilling is needed to
lower the high pressure in the field,
which may lead to a worse blowout.
Not a ban on drilling. That field has
billions of barrels of oil. it is a formation
under that deep valley in the Gilf that
runs north under AL. They could drill on land
to help also. Put the oil on the market. The
surplus could improve our economic world
forever. Ed
At this point I am thinking NO ONE CAN BE WORSE THAN OBAMA!
Biden would be a breath of fresh air compared to the boy king.
Then we could also disagree with his politics without being accused of being a racist. Of course none of that would matter libs will just say some other equally stupid thing to discredit a logical argument.
Great analogy.
What a stupid D$%k we have in the oval office.
Biggest one EVAH!
It’s much worse that that. The Earth will actually split in two because of this.
ALL THE OCEANS WILL BECOME SEAS OF OIL!!!!!
Too bad the Environmentalists didnt allow them to drill..2 adjacent wells when this thing started they would be done by now and the thing would be a trickle.
Than you again liberal doogooders...Thanks for the oily mess.
The article strikes me as very frightening speculation. I don’t buy the premise.
Yes, they did understand.
Do you understand that when you drive to work today you may be killed in a fiery head-on collision? ...and you’re going to drive anyway?
They knew the risks, they took the risks, they - we - lost.
At least Biden is an American.
” drill the heck out of that deposit, and produce all the oil. Because the alternative, is to have it all flow out unchecked into the Gulf of Mexico?”
Thats exactly what I am saying. Produce it or lose it. Multiple wells should quickly reduce the reservoir pressure and allow plugging of the leaking well bore....red
So since we're talking about a mile deep, and we can't find a way to cap a well above the sea floor because it's so deep. How do you propose to dig this hole to put the bomb, so it's "UNDER the sea floor"? Robot bomb hole diggers.
If it's such a good friend, provide a link. Where and when were underwater detonations? Death valley is below sea level, but not underwater, no? And if you're taking beneath the sea floor, just how do you dig a hole to place a bomb a mile underwater?
Is that the idiot governor of Florida? Wonder what he had to pay the other guy to sit next to Obama, so he didn’t have to.
This is in a small manner like the scenario of leading world leaders being told that the Earth will die in 24 hours.
What do you expect them to do or say to the people?
Its no wonder Obama came off talking in such a monotone, he has no idea what to do and frankly wants to get as far away as possible and just let someone else take the blame.
Look up operation Hardtack.
BRING IN THE SKIMMERS OFFERED TO CATCH THE OIL!!!
Such a cop out, admit we are stumped, accept the help where ever it comes from....
The already have a second well bore going..that’s how th russians did it...if had bothered to watched the video someone else posted.
The russians told the world 5 days after the accident...”yeah we nuked a few we had”...
No they werent a mile down under water...but they did it...more than once..
But at least this is a sorta admission you were doing the henny penny on spreading radiation all over the oceans.
I heard that this is the 7th most productive find in the gulf.
