Disaster looms as oil slick reaches US coast

No they got bought a shitty house and turned into something nice. Almost every time you build a home you do some kind of ecological damage... I would assume BP has done more damage than a retired couple who wanted to turn a shitty run down house into something nice...I just want to add Fuck you BP....

BP will do more damage than a single beach home, no doubt about that.

But there isn't just one beach home, is there? There are many, many beach homes, and that has an environmental impact.

And yah, I agree with you that BP needs to be flipped the bird. The internal documentation about this well, and the failed safety devices show a pattern of incompetence, IMO.

Why BP is readying a 'super weapon' to avert escalating Gulf nightmare


In a desperate attempt to stop a huge area of the Gulf ocean floor from possibly rupturing due to subterranean methane gas (leading to a calamity no human has ever seen) BP has ripped a page from science fiction books.

The giant oil company is now quietly preparing to test a small nuclear device in a frenzied rush against time to quell a cascading catastrophe. If successful they will have the capability to detonate a controlled fusion generated pulse.



While the world watches BP's attempt to contain the oil gusher at the former Deepwater Horizon site, company officials have given the green light on an astounding plan to use what is known as a nuclear EPFCG charge if all else fails.

Sea floor compromised

Reports still indicate that methane is flooding the Gulf waters at a rate one million times more than normal, and the NOAA research vessel, Thomas Jefferson has reported spotting new fissures. [1]

Last week the science ship stunned some reporters with the revelation that the oceanographic team had discovered and measured a rift in the ocean floor miles from the BP wellhead. The rift was reported to be more than 100 feet long and widening. Oil and methane continues to plume from that rift.

BP has also admitted damage beneath the sea floor. [2]

The Omega plan

Most enterprises—whether business, government, or exploration—have a Plan B to fall back on. To date, BP has attempted Plans B through N. Yet it is the last ditch plan-the Omega plan-that hold the greatest risk. Yet that plan may be the final hope to stop what some insiders now consider a catastrophe that could culminate with a world-killing mass extinction event that modern civilization could not survive.

At a super-secret security base-CFB Suffield-located in southern Alberta, Canada, area reports indicate that high level engineers, physicists and military scientists are feverishly working to complete an ‘explosively pumped flux compression generator’ (EPFCG).

According to published scientific papers [see sources below] an EPFCG generator can be powered by a very small, controlled fusion explosion-in other words, a tiny nuclear bomb.

Why the UK based BP has set up operations at CFB-Suffield is obvious: The company already runs three oil rigs on the base, have worked with Canada’s chemical and biological efforts on and off for almost 40 years, and have strong ties to the Commonwealth’s infrastructure.

The CFB Base, which incorporates DRDC Suffield, is one of six Canadian military research facilities and critical to the security of the country. DRDC Suffield is the lead facility for all of Canada’s engineering and weapons systems R&D.

The EPFCG—a Star Wars super weapon

A device that can only be used once, the EPFCG generates a high power electromagnetic pulse. It achieves this by using a powerful explosive, preferably nuclear. Advanced, nuclear driven EPFCGs can instantaneously create up to billions of amperes and hundreds of terawatts. Such raw power exceeds lighting bolts by huge orders of magnitude.



The pulse can be shaped and directed and used to knock out electronics-or more importantly in this case—to fuse virtually any material—including crumbling rock strata deep under the sea. The fantastically energized pulse can also compress objects to very high pressures and densities. [3]

According to engineers familiar with the technology, the devices can generate plasma arcs hotter than the surface of the sun that will melt and fuse materials in nanoseconds.

A special security force manned by members of AEGIS, a UK based paramilitary security corporation similar to the old US Blackwater Security company, is reported to have cordoned off the base. The security lid has clamped down hard while the engineers and scientists work with the nuclear materials.

BP’s secret Omega Plan kicked off in earnest on July 7th, 2010. According to sources on the base the British Geological Survey (BGS), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), BP and Halliburton have set up a test site at one of the drill rigs.

While the plan would admittedly only be executed if a worst case scenario seemed imminent, some geo-chemists have expressed concerns that detonating an EPFCG in the Gulf might ignite the methane.

Meanwhile the preparations for the test continue in Canada.

^ I agree. I'm not sure how much I trust john-doe-writer on "Helium.com".

Also, anyone has any scientific insight on this Methane thing? Why is there methane now, and not when the rig was operational? Why this particular well, and not others?

Don't get me wrong, I despise corporate capitalists probably more than the next guy, but I am finding this stuff too sensationalistic.
 
^ I was hoping you'd chime in :).

Is the pressure changing at a more rapid pace than it did when the rig was operational? I mean when you look at it, the hole is a pinprick compared to the size of the oil deposit. How does that work?
 
I'll be honest. My studies in petro geology are just beginning and are quite complex for the lack of math/physics that I have had. I'm more familiar with how to find the reserves, geometries of said reserves and formation of off shore deposits. :)
 
some of this goes too far. but, facts remain more opaque than they should be, especially environmental and toxicology details, everywhere.

however, here is something to put a different frame on it. BP has a shareholder meeting coming up at the end of July and the Wall Street rumors are that they have put out some advance word of good progress on the relief wells in order to be able to announce that they have stopped the leak at the meeting.

at this point it's starting to become a promise, so there must be a fairly high degree of confidence within the company that they are going to be able to do it. because this involves money and there is nothing more important in this story.

You mean there isn't much call for people who understand the physics of an underwater fart?
 
The pipeline may be plugged but what about all of the fissuring of the sea floor? Those cracks are leaking methane and oil as well.

I'd wonder what quantity are leaking from the cracks and where from.

Tried to google it, and everyone claims the NOAA said there was a fissure 5-7 miles away, but it seems like they are quoting a "Matt Simmons" who said the NOAA reported this.

Can't find the original NOAA report.

Googled several terms. The search "fissure oil methane deepwater horizon site:noaa.gov" only finds a few documents at their website, nothing that seems to be related to the current spill. A search for "'deepwater horizon' fissure site:noaa.gov" turns up no documents. If I leave out the search term "fissure", I find many articles on the spill.

Anyone care to dig further?
 
No matter the scale of the disaster nor whether it is driven by man or 'nature', the tin foil hat conspiracy theorists roll out black boards with X's and Arrows indicating that the sky will surely fall shortly.
BP is throwing money at it left, right, front and center . If the bore hole can be choked off. it well be . The proportions of gas pressure are not something that has been encountered previously, never mind their shoddy blowout preventer maintainance - that's their albatross!

My kin are on the gulf coast of FL and right on the water's edge .
