I’m with ya on your concerns. Let us hope our assumptions on damage casings turns out to be not the case and that this is just one hell of a hot well site. But the problem of the clahrates cannot be ignored. We did not see this stuff weeks on back. BP may not be out of the woods even after the final bottom kill(s) are enacted. Hopefully I, you are wrong for everyone’s sakes.
If those indeed are Methane Hydrate chunks, it means at least that the gas is separating from the oil somewhere and is finding a way up. Now gas probably wont erode large channels, but some erosion is occurring. We do not want to see the oil make its way up and hopefully it wont. Have not seen any significant oil ejections from the seafloor, but will take another look when more ROVs arrive. And I guess even with oil flowing all around and clathrate projectiles flowing around, these darn ROVs can still get some work done. Also keeping an eye out for larger clathrate chunks or actual streams of methane bubbles coming out of the sea floor. We still got chance to stop this beast.
