This is a great time to consider sabotage as a possibility. The timing is very suspicious.
My thoughts exactly.
That wold be a very tough task to undertake considering no one who worked on that platform would be a saboteur and no one else had access to that platform.
Instead, it is a tragedy, a tragedy that hits very close to home and one that has my wife freaked-out as I work and have worked on offshore platforms.
Coincidence?
Release date: 02 September 2009
BP announced today a giant oil discovery at its Tiber Prospect in the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico.
The well, located in Keathley Canyon block 102, approximately 250 miles (400 kilometres) south east of Houston, is in 4,132 feet (1,259 metres) of water. The Tiber well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 35,055 feet (10,685 metres) making it one of the deepest wells ever drilled by the oil and gas industry. The well found oil in multiple Lower Tertiary reservoirs. Appraisal will be required to determine the size and commerciality of the discovery.
“Tiber represents BP’s second material discovery in the emerging Lower Tertiary play in the US Gulf of Mexico, following our earlier Kaskida discovery,” said Andy Inglis, chief executive, Exploration and Production. “These material discoveries together with our industry leading acreage position support the continuing growth of our deepwater Gulf of Mexico business into the second half of the next decade.”
When was the last time we had a rig blow?? I suspect we will hear the same speech from Obama...very shortly...
Let's keep things in perspective:
Real world first.
Politics second.
Maybe enviro wacko radicals?
I wonder how many radical Greenies were in the area the day this occured.
I’m sure Obama has the FBI right on top of it.
It would be insane, nobody in the industry would ever do such a thing.
“The timing is very suspicious.”
What you said, bro!
There can be no doubt about it. It is sabotage for earth day.
Envirowackos must be put away for ever.
no shiite sherlock, start in the white house, then china, russia, iran and venezuela
I have to agree with some other posts on this thread, stating that is highly unlikely. But isn't it so ironic and disgusting, that with this group of thugs in DC, such a suspicion, ever so quickly, comes to mind?
Yeah, this reeks of opportunism. The easiest guess is the BP did it to itself to keep oil prices high. Or the cfr globalists arranged for this to happen for similar reasons. High oil/gasoline prices are also a form of control on the unwashed masses. This might give the enviro-whackos enough to kill offshore drilling but there is still enough oil deep underground on shore right here in the USA (ANWR) to drop the cost of a gallon of gas to about .50 a gallon. IF we can get our ability to refine up to handle a dramatic increase in supplies. That'll be tough. There hasn't been a new refinery built in this country since 1975.
Exactly what I thought. Perfect for the anti-drilling forces!
Am suspicious also. . .little being said as to 'cause'; and yes, too much 'good timing' on behalf of the dark side.
