British Petroleum, Oil Spill

Just in case you forgot…yeah, the coasts and marshes are still being coated with oil…

Maybe it’s me, maybe I have been so focused on the pressure readings from the well and all they entail, that for a moment I forgot about the fisherman, the wildlife, the beaches and all those industries still being contaminated by the oil from British Petroleum’s catastraphuk. What? Can’t see the forest through the trees? Yeah, something like that. Here’s an article from the Washington … Continue reading Just in case you forgot…yeah, the coasts and marshes are still being coated with oil…

PSI…BP and the Feds Grading the Pressure Readings On the Curve…Yeah! Everybody Passes!

Last night I threw out a message, observing how it seemed every time we turned around either someone from British Petroleum or the Feds were changing the rules on this well cap. When all this began last week, when BP put the new containment riser onto the Macondo well and stopped the flow of oil from entering the gulf we were all told that the … Continue reading PSI…BP and the Feds Grading the Pressure Readings On the Curve…Yeah!

Despite Multiple Methane and Oil Leaks From BOP and Sea Floor Feds Allow BP to Risk Uncontrollable BP Gulf Oil Spill Blowout

As the condition of BP’s leaking oil well continues to deteriorate rapidly BP has tried desperately to prevent the Federal Government from monitoring the sea floor for oil and methane leaks. An anonymous government official said BP is not complying with the government’s demand for more monitoring of oil and methane leaks on the sea floor. BP spokesman Mark Salt declined to comment on the … Continue reading Despite Multiple Methane and Oil Leaks From BOP and Sea Floor Feds Allow BP to Risk Uncontrollable BP Gulf Oil Spill Blowout

BP: Seeps? Oil Plumes? Hazardous Materials? Dead Wildlife? Oil? What Oil?

Not even sure they exist anymore, British Petroleum continues along their merry way. Despite pledging to “makes things whole” again by doing everything they can to clean up this mess, they instead continue to obfuscate, or deny. It’s actually a pretty good system and has been in play since the fateful decision early on to attack this spill with dispersants instead of skimmers. Skimmers show … Continue reading BP: Seeps? Oil Plumes? Hazardous Materials? Dead Wildlife? Oil? What Oil?

BP: Cutting the pay of cleanup workers – the e-mails

Ah the life of a BP catastraphuk cleanup worker: used to be the only hazard to the job was inhaling benzene, Corexit and other assorted toxins from spilled crude due to a lack of respirators, (those masks look bad in the company brochure) but you know, once one gets used to a set of difficult and hazardous working conditions, one can always count on British … Continue reading BP: Cutting the pay of cleanup workers – the e-mails

Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen on Sunday evening agreed to allow a cap to continue to block the flow of oil from the Deepwater Horizon wellhead, despite the discovery of oil or natural gas seeping from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico at a location away from the well. But Allen ordered BP to report any discoveries of future seeps within four hours … Continue reading Update: Oil seeping from Gulf floor near well, but Coast Guard allows cap to stay in place another 24 hours

Government concerned about seep and methane leak, BP concerned about flow count.

Falling once again into the category of who is running this show: Scientists have expressed concern about a seep and possible methane seen near BP’s busted oil well and both of these could be signs of that much feared leak, the reason BP is doing all these integrity tests. According to the source, the government is demanding more testing, but BP is refusing to comply. … Continue reading Government concerned about seep and methane leak, BP concerned about flow count.

Update: Caution is Watchword…

“Caution” was the watchword Saturday for BP and federal officials searching for signs of leaks after a cap seemed finally to have stopped the flood of oil from a ruptured well that has poured crude into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly three months. Caution in deciding that tests will continue for at least a day longer to be sure the “shut in” procedure has … Continue reading Update: Caution is Watchword…
