Bobbeh Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Its sad that I'm getting comments on from friends in the US blaming England for the oil spill... the media over there really know how to get people jumping on the nationalist bandwagon.

cowboy bebop Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Then they're not your friends. Seriously though, I don't know of and havent' heard of anyone blaming England as a country.

cowboy bebop Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Unfortunately, he did. Americans usually plead the 5th amendment in that case though. At least 20B is being set aside not including lawsuits, criminal charges, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 This isn't a reply to the previous post and apologies if any of this has been posted already, haven't read the entire thread and don't know how to make videos appear as a direct link yet but 'well' worth a watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig-SeZmL3YA Also, on a much more serious note, wellhead pressure according to Lyndsey William's inside source is 40k psi as measured by BP with intent to 'strategically' nuke if 'relief' wells don't work, as per Russia's similar super-deep wells - but they're on land. Total drilled depth of Gulf well approx. 25-30k feet below sea level. Topkill didn't work apparently, as it would/did rupture the rest of the pipe under the seabed, from which gas/oil is leaking also. No air quality tests released to U.S. public as too alarming etc. but rainfall hundreds of miles inland is killing plants from Corexit 9500 dispersant, (more toxic than the oil). Hurricane season also. 3400 parts per billion Benzene initial air readings for example reported once only. 'Safe' limits, 0-4 ppb. Basically they've hit a vent in The Motherload; the precursor gases and compounds for the 'traditional' fields of crude much nearer the surface, once formed abiotically, (without fossils, as way too deep). In other words, crude is formed from the natural effects of gravity as the earth settles and lighter molecules work their way to the surface under pressure, becoming trapped and forming hydrocarbons etc. on the way. The gases that escaped formed the atmosphere, in conjunction with some impact material. Fwiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I really struggle to believe its 40,000psi wellhead pressure. That's a monstrous pressure. Max i've worked on was around 15k flowing and that was one of the biggest pressure wells in the world so 40k is definitely wrong, maybe 4k more like.

Im not having a dig i just find it hard to believe lol PM Me mate Oh, it's quite ok, I normally get told I'm talking boll@cks again! I'm just quoting someone who obviously knows a lot more than me about it, as you obviously do. You just may not have access to the information he appears to have. For all we know, the entire crust could be floating on oil and judging by the explosive force of volcanos, I have no problem believing that a 30'000 foot deep oil/gas vein could have such pressures. It's unprecedented, afterall, in that region. I'd expect some earthquakes soon as well. By the time this stops flowing, something's gotta give. I don't work in the oil industry, no; far too dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANGRY...THEN NOTHING WILL ! Dammit this is going too far!!! This shot shows the serious damage caused to the wildlife by the recent BP blowout ... I feel it is my duty right now to go down to the coast and help clean the wildlife with my own two hands.

TLicense Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Looks like BP has managed to kill the oil well now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10862893 Looks like the total cost will be somewhere around $37 billion. A mere drop in the ocean when compared to the $10 trillion the sub-prime mortgage industry collapse cost the rest of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 So the world can now look away,until the next spill........ The failings go unpunished, no blame,no prison... Meanwhile the subprime fallout continues,the banking industry ( what do they produce?)tells everyone recovery is in progress, bonus culture returns,no blame,unpunished,no prison,plus ca change....
