Here's a video Like the one Dragon posted on (thread 234)...
it was taken 1 1/2 before Thad Allen's news conference...
The video is only 40 secs...at ~ 20 sec in the oil & hydrates
really blow...

Your Lying Eyes: Black blobs seep from capping stack as Feds deny any “flow of hyrdrocarbons” (VIDEO)

Hydrates leaking from the well stem that are related to my earlier video that I posted. Here is a screen shot caught minutes ago:



Here is a video I got of the leak yesterday:

The well cap on Olympic Challenger UHD 30 (ROV 1) just had a big burst of oil come out of it. I got fraps fired up to late to get it, but I did get video. Uploading now.

Here is the video I got. I missed the BIG oil burst, but the video I got is what immediately follows it. I really am disappointed I didn't get the burst though. I am guessing the green haze is Anti Freeze but who knows at this point.

Large blob of oil or some kind of odd creature? Olympic Challenger UHD 30 (ROV 1) August 31, 2010 9:20am EDT.

That was weird looking...symmetrical looking
like it had wings...if it is a creature...
Great videos...Thanks for sharing.

Unbelievable! If that is not hydrocarbons shouldn't someone be trying to figure out what it is? Looks like oil to me. The authorities seem to think we are all deaf, blind & stupid. Who knows? A few more toxins in that water and they might get right.

On a second note, my niece attends an alternative educational high school. One of her teachers was telling the class there is no bio-hazard associated with this gusher. My neice argued the point with him. I told her to suggest he take his kids to the Gulf and spend a day in the water. Eat the food. Enjoy the day.

Thus far he hasn't packed any bags.

::SIGH:: Why am I not surprised? Is that vapor methane?

Could someone please define 'dead' for me? Apparently I don't understand the concept.

“CAULIFLOWER” oil near Biloxi tests positive for THREE ingedients in ‘COREXIT’ — “Never seen it that thick before” says photographer

[Marco Kaltofen, part of the science team that found the oil told Raines, “I consider this to be very interesting scientifically, as few samples detect dispersant, much less three of their major ingredients in the same sample.”]

I thought this was a great read...A 3rd Well?

Houston, We Have A HUGE Problem ! ! ! (BP America is headquartered in Houston, TX)

Snippet
[The label “Well Location” intentionally left out the alphabet “A” as it was intended to be the well that was actually drilled which forensic analyses of the seabed debris determined to be 720 ft NNW of Well A. This mysterious “well that never was” (referred to as “S20BC”) is still being ignored publicly by the Authorities, BP and all those involved in the cover-up to continue duping the American public and world at large. This damaged S20BC well is the real gusher and the vertical conduit draining oil and gas out of the giant reservoir at 18,300 ft below mud line; not the bogus capped Well A.

Well A was drilled down to 5000 ft or thereof. It had to be abandoned on 13 Feb 2010 due to a broken drilling rod string which was jammed in the well. One must ask why a drill string of steel pipes could be jammed inside the well bore. Recently we hear BP admitting the possibility of formation collapse. And how could the formation collapse into the well bore without pressurized fluid forcing debris and jamming the drilling rods in the open section of the well?

So my independent geological model was right. Dr Bea was right. Matt Simmons was right. So did millions all over the world who did not fall for the Bogus Press releases and the blatant acts of Mass Deception.]

That's the definition of dead I understand. Does BP have a different dictionary? A secret dictionary? That's a real question. That well is either dead or it is not. Where are our BP lurkers? I would really like for them to explain this to me. I've seen dead. I've seen a lot of dead. Dead doesn't get up. It doesn't keep acting up.

Really! I do try to reign in the sarcasm. Really I do. This situation just begs for it.

I don't exactly know what all they got down there, but is there a reason they have a methanol skid down there?

reply to post by Creamy Goodness


They have been using Methanol all along to clean the hydrates off equipment as well as cleaning & flushing the hydrates out of the BOP...

It's an antifreeze mixture that they are using...

Ektar

Both q4000's are blowing right now..
quite a bit of activity...

Ektar

I see they still have not replaced the BOP yet. "Choppy seas?" I think it's more like they are trying to decide if this what they should do...not that they every 'thought' before...

reply to post by DragonFire1024


I agree, I think they're really worried at this point. What do you think about the "3rd well S20BC"?
Here's a few shots from last night...maybe some new equipment...

According to BP's twitter, removal of the BOP will begin tomorrow with Enterprise removing the capping stack. Q4000 will remove and prepare the BOP for lift.
