metronome Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: The gulf coast is fucked I still can't believe there was no contingency plan for a blowout like that, especially with it being so deep. I have no problem believing its 30K barrels/day, if anything that is a shallow estimate. They have a similar rig called Thunder Horse (LOL) I believe, and that rigs daily production estimate is 250k barrels/day ... do the math edit: I think BP had a refinery explosion last year or the year before in texas as well that killed a few dozen people. Somebody needs to overhaul their reliability programs ... nope sorry it was 2005. Killed 17 and injured >170 others, and then less than 5 years later they have this on their hands as well ... shits not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreSixO Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Re: The gulf coast is fucked http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/05/14/gulf-spill-solution-could-be-supertankers-bp-wont-listen/ A former Shell Oil executive told FastCompany.com that a solution to cleaning up the Gulf Coast Oil spill is right under BP’s noses. John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil, and Nick Pozzi, a former pipeline engineering and operations project manager say that BP could use their very own supertankers to suck up the spilled oil in the gulf and possibly salvage it for sale down the line. The tactic was proven effective during a Saudi spill in the 90’s — it sucked up 85% of the renegade oil. BP has tankers already sitting in the Gulf of Mexico, so we’re thinking, with their tactics failing left and right, why don’t they get on this already? NPR reported today that the spill is most likely gushing 10 times — possibly even 14 times — as much oil as previously thought, which would already put the spill in first place over the Exxon Valdez disaster. Hofmeister and Pozzi have been trying to get in touch with BP executives and persons in the Obama administration to present their genius idea to those in charge of the cleanup. They’ve been repeatedly turned away, and, once, a lawsuit was even threatened. Hofmeister thinks BP is turning a blind eye to their solution because they don’t want to tie up their supertankers in the cleanup efforts. Using their tankers for cleanup would mean tying up a huge part of their money-making process, not to mention they’d have to unload them of the oil that they’re holding first — which could prove a huge endeavor. It would take some planning to get in motion, but almost assuredly would clean up a vast amount of the oil already spilled across the Gulf. Plus they could deliver the oil to port, separate water out and then process it for sale. So what are they waiting for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injury Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: The gulf coast is fucked Peggy Noonan - "He Was Supposed to be Competent" Great editorial in this weekend's wall street journal. It goes, of course, beyond the scope of just the oil spill, but I like it for raising the issue of Obama attempting to lead the crisis while simultaneously deflecting accountability for it. Doesn't work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acer910 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: The gulf coast is fucked so why doesn't Costner just go ahead and deploy the 31 machines ? because hes a greedy bastard and he wont do shit till he gets ample recognition, a few copyrights, hella royalties and whatnot. hes probably working on a prototype shaped like his head as we speak. but really, i work for an organization known for a machine that helps people (universal nut sheller) and half of our board is like this fuck, they wont do shit until they see a check. so nothings going to be done until he gets his face incorporated into the BP logo. and also, why are there only 31 machines... this guy has the resources (money) to pay some company to make a shitload of these in no time. proof that he doesnt give a fuck.

redeyedanimal Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: The gulf coast is fucked check this shit out, kinda eased my mind a little. There have been a LOT of much worse oil spills.
