BP Continues To Move Itself Into Deeper Gulf Waters

by J John Swanko

06/01/2010 (People Port) BP continues to get itself in deeper waters. Chairman Markey has been around a long time. He asks very good questions. There seems to be tension between his office and BP. That is bad for all. If the reports are true, BP has attempted seeking shelter under a Republican Tarp.

Again, not the right choice. I give CEO Tony Hayward credit for being willing to speak while in the Gulf. Here, on People Port actions are given far more weight than words. Words can only give shape to actions. BP's actions seem to indicate they want to stop the hurt they are causing to our Gulf area. BP claimed they possessed the ability to contain a massive spill. They are now working through an unanticipated spill.

The scientific community has seen all types of new fixes not work. Underwater plumes are only one and their existence may not be real or connected. When the early science of this incidence is written each find may grab headlines, limelight. Real confirmed science is need, however, that may be years away.

I do not understand why BP could pump mud in, yet, they cannot pump the oil out the same holes they used to pump mud in. If their artist's renditions of the BOP, LMRP are accurate there is plenty of room for Y's and pumps. Myself, the first containment dome should have worked. Depending on which description was accurate, they only needed to heat the oil/water area or they needed 24 inch pipe a couple hundred feet tall connected to the top (allowing the crystals to become a gas and that gas and oil would pressurize the pipe) of the containment dome, allowing the gas to separate from the oil. That pipe would allow oil and gas to draw off salvaging the oil in that well.

Should the previous example seems to be a contradiction, or application of different versions of facts, I would suggest BP's detailed description, be a detailed description. From BP's website application (People affected by the spill) to their willingness to let their failures be filmed, BP seems to attempt to live up to their reputation as an environmental energy advocate.
