Just received this from Dr. Patty Doyle...first I've heard of it. Might be a big story here. She's
very sharp and doesn't miss much...ever.

I just went to my ROV watching page and notice that BP has moved in a drilling rig, the West Sirius. Can you ask one of your Gulf of Mexico oil researchers why BP would need a rig. drilling rig at 384' with drilling depth of 37,500' as this does seem a bit odd to me. Are they drilling another well to meet the Deepwater Horizon well? Are they doing some sort of well kill on another leaking well? Do we have another leak that the public is not being told about?
Check out the West Sirius:

Right now they seem to be "waiting" for a go ahead on whatever project they intend to do.

Kno22, But the problem is KEEPING SILENT about what they do. There are regulations and permits. The govt needs to inform.
Yes - just checked number of vessels still there - plenty activities still on going. Noticed now that discoverer enterprise and devl driller 3 (together) and - 5 miles from devl driller 2. Wonder what is up now.

I agree compeletly.The fact that BP isn't really keeping people informed is part of the problem. We watch all those feel good commercials about how responsible BP is, knowing it's just glossing over the whole situation. The ProjectGulfImpact.com folks are reporting the ways BP is denying claims, or reducing claims for what ever reason BP wants, as well as health issues involving people who live & work in the region. That our government allows this to continue is a disgrace.
I've said it before & will say it again...BP should not be allowed to use a can opener without supervision. Well informed civilian supervision.
