The "Up to the Minute" BP Livefeed Discussion Thread

What do you guys think that is in
that series of photos I posted in sequence?

Wish I new how to video...the pipe in
Q4000 ROV 1 feed, on the right side...
oil is leaking out in a continuous flow...

Ektar

Ektar, that's the same BOP Q4000 was at days or a week or so ago when there was what I said looked like a hydraulic leak, and someone (you?) said no it was oil. There is a different ROV down at the seafloor shining it's light on the vent pipes coming from wellhead pipe. I have or had some earlier pictures of the same thing - sure I still have one or two. It's also the same place where it was spraying the white/green stuff that me and Eyes Stitched Closed saw - still got those pics.

Dragonfire, the funny looking little thing on the seafloor looks like a hinged lid like the ones on oil tanks.

CloudsintheSky:
-- Seafloor is leaking, too much to be normal, everyday occurence; and violent volcanic like eruptions at times - on a small scale though nothing like a Mt. St. Helens .
-- No proof of looping, but I noticed the discoloration long ago from either light or camera filter. I've been refiltering it on stills just to get a better view but not saving and uploading the reworked image because I would be accused of manipulating it to get what I want. Blue is used in the water column to disguise the turbidity - blue diffuses more easily than other colors and doesn't penetrate as deep (same reason sky is blue). Green is used at the seafloor to disguise oil seeps and gas that forms a haze or fog over the seafloor surface.
-- I followed one ROV to the surface this morning (even got a shot of the moon pool from underneath) and the water was very turbid 200 ft below the surface - lots of those white balls we always see, some even right below the ship. So they could easily be sampled from the surface if someone would try.

People, the live feed is from the 2009 well A. You are not looking at the site of the deep horizon and we never will. The entire live feed is a BS smoke an mirror trick.

What do you think this is? Maybe a light
with hydrate build up?

TTATW is this what you saw with surfacing ROV? This is what I got on 1 yesterday....& I saw the turbulance as well.

Thanks for the filter color break down...

Clouds did any of the recent postings help?

The floor erupts SO often now it's hard to
keep up with everything...

Ektar

PS Texas not trying to blow you off...have not had a
chance to check out the ship feed...

It's so hard to know what's real......yesterday, I watched Skandi 2 dive from the boat and after it got a little way down, there were huge schools of silver fish.....they were swimming and following the camera.... must have been a hundred of them in the school! They looked normal (for the time being I guess)

Ektar....what IS that??? (the stuff at the top of the water) It looks so weird!! THAT is bizarre looking....

reply to post by Ektar


Looks like a jellyfish of some type. Closest one I can think of is a comb jelly - the combs are rows (4 or so) that go down the sides and emit light sorrt of like a neon light sign. I don't see any combs on that one but it has the same general body shape.

The other ones look like pipes with lots of rust buildup and a few barnacles. And no, what I saw at and near the surface were the marble size white balls that some call methane bubbles. I do not want to say they are methane bubbles, partly because methane bubbles are usually clear, it's the methane ice that's aqua-bluish white, and the bubbles that come off it are clear. These things are white when they come out of the seafloor and white at the surface. They do come out of the seeps, along with clear gas or liquid and sediment. It would have been so easy to sample, analyze and settle that long ago.

[edit on 10-8-2010 by ttatw]

Those rusty Barnacles I think were
probably the bottom of the boast as the ROV was surfacing

Yeah I have been seeing the all the bubbles, white methane ice, the hydrate build up, & oil...everything now though seems more intense
and larger in size...

Yes thanks, You guys are just watching this very closely and I wanted the XYZ on your conclusions thus far.......

It seems to me that everything is getting worse
& IMO I think they just want to get the well finished with
and then high tailing it out of there, abandoning ALL
& anything that has to do with the whole incident...
It will be interesting to see if anyone breaks contract
later & lets the cat out of the bag...like maybe one
of the camera dudes & etc...

That's for sure. I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out a way to find out about the MIA BOP! This REALLY has me concerned.....because you would think they would proudly present it to the world since they "killed" it and it's a great "success".......yet, it's nowhere to be found. It just doesn't make sense!

reply to post by Ektar


Thank you, Ektar, no hurry on reply. I'm on the Texas gulf coast & have been watching everyone's comments, videos & photos on here for a long time now.
It may sound paranoid, but for months now BOA DEEP C & all the other vessels have been on the live ships map. But now BOA DEEP C must have turned off it's transponder because the last known position timestamp is about 15 minutes or so after my post. Yesterday I watched it as it moved around to the northeast away from the site, wondering why it was moving. Maybe BP is monitoring this website & told BOA DEEP C to go "stealth"!

reply to post by Cloudsinthesky


Hey Cloud, are you the one who was doing the rain tests and all that? I remember reading about it a while back.....did anything come out of that?

Right on!! Just got about 8 to 9 good shots of BOP...
Leakage looks worse...Skandi ROV2
Better hurry they're house cleaning again...
Will post pics later...gotta go water my sheep...

Ektar

Skandi 2 is removing the "Hydrates" from the BOP..
..

Here they are in Sequence - Enjoy

EXCELLENT PICS!!! Is it just me or is it leaning? I was just watching and either the current is pushing the camera around, or it is swaying some like it did before. I wonder why all the sudden they brought it back online and with good feeds after hiding it for so long? Oh! Did yall hear that there is another tropical storm coming and they are going to bug out again? And..it's going to cause them to postpone drilling and bottom kill. uggggh

Well we now know the BOP is still there and now clean!.. If they go back and it is covered again... we'll know!
