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

Update: Oil seeping from Gulf floor near well, but Coast Guard allows cap to stay in place another 24 hours

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.

BP removes containment cap in preparation for method that could contain more oil

“With the Coast Guard’s blessing…” begins the article in the Times Picayune by Rebecca Mowbray about the latest action being taken by BP to install a new sealing device, one that could allow the company to contain more oil or stop the flow entirely. This is surprising since BP has never previously cared what Gulf Coast residents, the Coast Guard, the EPA or anyone else blesses or curses, instead always … Continue reading BP removes containment cap in preparation for method that could contain more oil

A Rogues Gallery in Oil, but Then a Leader Emerges…Kindra Arnesen

Let’s review, shall we? Thad Allen: National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill…or as I like to call it, The British Petroleum Gulf Oil Explosion Catastrophe. Since the beginning, he has claimed he is in charge but in truth merely serves as BP’s errand boy. He colludes with BP and the government to keep the oil estimates low and to … Continue reading A Rogues Gallery in Oil, but Then a Leader Emerges…Kindra Arnesen

Throw BP in the Gulf then Set the Oil On Fire

Well, the top kill failed. I don’t know why this surprises me…especially since Thad Allen said a couple of days ago it was a success. If there is one thing I think we’ve all learned over this past month, it’s that if the head of the Coast Guard makes a claim it is 1. untrue, and 2. been fed to him by British Petroleum. Not … Continue reading Throw BP in the Gulf then Set the Oil On Fire
