LOL at the notion that it's Anti-Freeze.

Sure. I'll go with what everyone else says. Notice the lack of responses on this thread? If this was Anti-Freeze BP can now be sued for breaking half of the EPA's Ocean hand book of law's.

Here is a part of an interview with Thad Allen discussing the use of antifreeze and methanol to melt the hydrates blocking the pipe....
Earlier in the day Admiral Allen explained some of the events that I discussed in yesterday’s post, noting that the rams in the stack had become jammed because of the formation of hydrates within the mechanism, that then led to them freezing as the hydrates were disturbed. BP then chose to flush the system again, using an antifreeze solution.
Question: What chemicals were used in the recent flush to remove hydrates?
A. BP used a methanol soak as the predominant medium for melting the hydrates. They also circulated MEG water - methyl ethylene glycol (antifreeze) - to help improve visibility conditions. Here is the link
