Convient how all/most the rig workers died..
Wonder if the rig accident was ENGINEERED?...
You know............. NOT an accident..

Funny how it happened just as the Cap and Trade thing was due to surface...
AND..... many roadblocks were put in the way of the cleanup... and damage control..

Very suspicious...

I place the blame at the feet of the green movement.

If it wasn't for them, drilling would be taking place in shallower waters and beaches where mishaps could be more easily contained.

So I take it you support the ban on future deep water drilling because its too dangerous?

Did you miss that MMS allowed them to do that by missing 16 inspections?

During the time period that the 16 inspections were missed, are you aware of how many inspections were made?

Soros and Brazilian oil. Rigs are leaving the gulf and heading for Brazil as we speak. Coincidence?

Coincidence in what way?

I am also investing in the same Brazilian company Soros is (though to a smaller extent).

That post is ridiculous and the author doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about. Notice how there is no proof of anything he or she says? For instance there is no such thing as “normal well” with a psi of 1500 psi. There is no such thing as a “normal well”, each one is different.

70,000 psi at the depth of 18,000 ft? That would make surface pressure what about 65,000 psi? remember they drilled and controlled the pressure hydro-statically for more than 24 hours and they are drilling 2 more wells right now into the same formation.

I didn’t bother looking up Benzine or Metholine Chloride, but my basic H2S orientation taught me that the safe working limit of H2S is 10 parts per million for 8 hours a day. So 1200 parts per billion being dispersed 5,000 feet below the sea probably isn’t going to do much harm to anything.

I’m sure someone with more time could pick apart that ridiculous post even further. It is bogus and far from grounded in fact and you should be quite wary of reposting it.

You were saying ...

That post is ridiculous and the author doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about.

It comes from the site "Oildrum" where the industry professionals get together and talk about industry issues. It's been quoted several times by other FReepers on several different threads.

I would rather take the word of industry professionals who are working in the field and discussing this issue among themselves, than many of the posters here on Free Republic ... :-)

I don't agree. There is evidence that BP cut corners in the drilling of the well.
For a disaster such as this, a real leader would have pulled all available resources to contain the leak immediately (not go golfing, then come out with an address near 60 days later). A real leader would have coordinated with BP to stop things from spreading, but would be honest and let them know that once the immediate danger was maintained, that there would be a price to pay.

Instead, we have a leader whose Chief of Staff lives rent free courtesy of BP, who takes a large amount of campaign contributions from same company, and who uses a televised address to use the event (after doing nothing for 60 days) to pitch legislation that would benefit a carbon exchange that friends of his would benefit from.

Criminal....

"Convient how all/most the rig workers died.."

There were 126 workers on the Deepwater Horizon when it exploded, of that number there were 11 fatalities.

Once a month but as I’ve read amny of the 16 missed ones were during the past 2 years. So yes Obama’s MMS was very culpable in this spill.

You read wrong. In total, the rig missed 16 inspections since January 2005. I think that's more like 16 missed out of 65 required (up to April 2010).

Well I am a completions engineer with Baker Atlas and have been in the industry for the last 5 years. If you wish to post nonsense which was obviously created to stir up emotions of those who do not take the time to actually research how an oil well is drilled and completed I guess you are free to do so.

Corexit is a 1/1 MSDS. Less than 5% volatile.

I have seen this stuff about corexit a number of times now...

People read an MSDS and get all scared over standard industry language.

Put up the “highly toxic” proof.
