From: greysky on 14 Jun 2010 01:32 BP proved that oil is not a non renewable resource. The oil rig explosion was caused when the drill head penetrated into a high pressure strata at 35,000 feet, something to be honest, BP was never expecting nor thought could be possible. The estimated wellhead pressure is between 25,000 and 75,000 PSI. This is totally beyond any human measure to contain. A relief well drilling into this strata will also fail because of this pressure. There is nothing we have in our technological arsenal that will contain this extensive pressure. In addition, the sea floor has fractured in other places releasing secondary and tertiary oil plumes. The only way to stop this disaster is to utilize a nuclear bomb to seal the drill hole, however, using a nuclear bomb also has a good chance of further rupturing the high level strata, and if this happens, it could literally change the makeup of the sea water on a global scale. In addition, the VOC (volatile organic compounds) levels of substances such as benzene, hydrogen sulfide, methalyne chloride, etc. entering the atmosphere is even now hundreds of times larger than maximum safe levels over the Gulf- for example, methalyne chloride levels measured in the gulf is now 3,500 ppm when the safe level is between 0 and 35 ppm. And this is now. If they fracture the superdome and release all the gulf oil not only will the oceans die, but slowly toxify the atmosphere. And there is nothing we can do about it. This is a disaster that is eventually going to be on the same level as the Siberian Traps and will eventually cause mass extinctions of most of the life on this planet... Today, the people of the Gulf states are being placed in danger as they breath these poisons, tomorrow it will be all of us. But, for the immediate effects, expect to see large regions of the ocean to die as the oxygen levels in the water fall too low to support life. Next, the airborne toxins drifting over the gulf states will poison millions of people - expect the gulf and the states immediately surrounding it to become a wasteland. Then when the levels of methane and other flammable gasses get high enough over the gulf, the waters will literally catch on fire. This poison fire will be carried on the currents until the entire eastern seaboard is burning, destroying the states along the east coast. Then the plumes will cross the Atlantic, and eventually toxify most of the water on the planet. As the pressure in the superdome lowers, there will also be earthquakes as the ocean floor caves in, squishing out more oil and VOC into the environment. I will leave it to you to guess how our world governments will deal with the disaster... or how it will effect you. Recently, I watched the DVD, 'The Road". It literally was the most depressing video I've seen in a long time. Now, the film makers left the nature and cause of the societal collapse as a mystery (although in the book it is alluded to peak oil), and I did wonder what could possibly make our environment turn so depressingly, hopelessly, hostile. Now, unfortunately, I am beginning to suspect I know the answer... G-

WOW Than my final stopping the leak would only create another "BLOW OUT" I posted that possibility. Skiming very effectively is at this spacetime the only way to go. Kevin Coster seems to have an invention that seperates water and oil. Hmmm An explosion works for oil on fire. It would only make matters worse. If those casings go down 35,000 feet I find that the worse news so far. It has to have a lot of heat down there.and could be causing the great pressure. I did post this as relating to a pressure cooker. Still have the worry ocean floor might get covered with tar balls if they get negative bouyancy. TreBert

Worse case, that's less than 11,000 psi differential, and by some BP accounts the open BOP wellhead is running at less than 4000 psi at the base. Technically this unfortunate escapement can be halted and even subsequently managed as a hydrocarbon and oily sulfur resource that's badly needed. Like other bailout fiascoes, we the public should have full ownership of this one by the time this environmental impact tragedy is over (a decade from now). http://www.horizonedocs.com/artform.php I suggested using an inflatable lead enema on a stout pipe, that could be easily forced down past those dysfunctional 18.75" BOP spool/ gate valves, and obviously the substantial (schedule 80<120) insertion pipe of <12" for placing this inflatable lead enema below those BOP valves could then be safely used to extract oil and gas. This heavy duty 12" pipe should be configured with ROV manual operated spool/gate valves, thus 100% cutting-off the leak and still giving safe access to all of that gas and oily sulfur. Optional hydraulic motor driven valve operators could be applied later. ~ BG

TreBert Only the most sulfur saturated tar is going to sink. We could artificially add lead to what's spewing out, but that wouldn't stay put long enough to do any good. The molecular mass of hydrocarbons will eventually float, no matters what. Why aren't we as worried or more so about all of that raw natural gas? (only a minor part of which is methane) Isn't polluting the sea and atmosphere with those volumes of toxic vapor elements worth anything to cry over? Isn't that open BOP venting those raw natural and mostly toxic gasses of <50e6 m3/day? I bet most folks don't even care to honestly know what's in that raw gas, and BP sure as hell isn't going to tell. ~ BG

TreBert- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - TV shows them throwing "sand" on oil Hmmm That could give tar balls negative bouyancy. Get the picture. Skimming most effectively only way to go untill other pipes drilled to releave the great pressure. TreBert Would like to know if drilling is going through hard rock and the time it will take to drill down 32,000 feet ?? TreBert |
