Offshore Oil Drilling and the Oil Rig Disaster in the Gulf

[Timkin]

true as that is samiam , putting these machines to use as well as other measures would help SOME and anything is better than nothing.

This is becoming painfully clear...BP cannot cap this well , at least not with any measures heretofore used.  I think my inverted funnel idea might be a partial help to at least contain what is continuing to come out.... attaching to that with piping and suctioning/putting into tankers.

BP should be implimenting use of as many of these seperation machines as humanly possible.. they also could/should be used where the oil is in the water along the shores ..

I agree, currently the oil is going in a ever growing circle. the prevailing winds and the current from the Mississippi river and mobile bay seem to be keeping most of the oil offshore for the time being but its only a matter of time before that changes.

I am running out of gas station to go to...I avoid Exxon because of oil spill,Citgo because of Hugo Chavez,Chevron and Shell because of stirring up wars in Nigeria,now BP because of oil spill,Gate because of mayor Peyton.
Damn,that leaves me with Hess station.

Interesting enough most of those big oil companies are US/British/Dutch owned or controled.
Most of them are either involved in some war around globe or under control of wealthy families suspected of being Illuminati.
From wars in Nigeria,Iraq to Iran.
BP for example is company that was involved inside Iran up to Iranian revolution in 1979,they funded and supported iranian shah which brought radical islamists in power.

You could say BP gave us radical Islam,radical government in Iran,support for Saddam Husein which caused wars up to 21st century and BP gave us suicide bombers which were created in war between Saddam and Iran.

All these wars and conflicts past 40-50 years (if not longer) where caused by these companies with CIA under control of rich families and governments.

Oil spill is not worst thing these oil companies have done.

Excellent insight.
And further consider historical British role in the business of so many countries and regions.

And here I add:
Our own rediculous role.We get the government we deserve.As card carrying "enviro" and outdoor recreation fan and promoter many have come to me for comments and discourse on the Gulf Coast 'disaster'.
The "Sportsmen's State" is getting what it deserves.Alaska & Sarah Palin another example of a curious blend of oil, wild land interest and long established conservationist constituency that has been ...polluted.There was a defection among the GOP outdoor ranks during the past two presidential elections.Obama siezed on it,if for no other reason than the fact that Federal conservation policy under Bush was so obviously damaging to a loyal constituency that was attacked by the GOP as "environmental extremist".And Obama delivered on clear public record campaign campaign promises with his selection of Department of Interior head.
So now we see a Red state pleading with the Federal government to "do something".

Two weeks ago in MJ post I noted that decades of Northeast Florida waves of DRI development/Comp plan 'revisions' ,local Government oversight heavily influenced by the applicant,could not begin to grab the attention of current events in the Gulf.No doubt few grasp the connectivity.

The "River" is our Gulf coast-algae blooms not a sufficient sacred catastrophe to garner nationwide news. Here in Northeast Florida we prefer to reduce natural resources one acre at a time-mostly unheralded within a maze of "Growth Mangagement", "Planner & Consultant" , 'environmentally sensitive', 'advocacy' process

What is frustrating to me is that most of the assets on the gulf coast are in a holding pattern waiting to see what happens. They are currently downsizing the vessel of opportunity( V.O.O.) program. That not only increases responce time. It take money out of the pockets of the people hurt most by this disaster

BP has a go from the Coast Guard to attempt top kill of well

[samiam]

Top Kill attempt has begun

Here is a collection of photos from Boston.com's Big Picture section:

FYI
The other attempt to stop this oil leak are two relief wells that will not be completed until august

[Timkin]

I hope the top kill works.  This is already a ridiculously large mess.

[JeffreyS]

I am praying it works.

How BP Will [Attempt To] Stop The Oil Eruption: The Top Kill Method
(with video)

[samiam]

I hope this works as well but I just don't see it working. I just wish I knew the weight of this (Mud) and the PSI of the oil coming out. Even if you pumped lead shot into the well the pressure would still shoot all the lead out. Another thing is if the Mud does block the pipe that is kinked it could take the kink out of the pipe or it could rupture at that weakened point

[Timkin]

I am praying it works.

So am I , Jeffery.  Please Lord, Let this work.
