Gulf Oil Platform Explosion and Spill

Leading Ocean Scientists Issue Consensus Statement to End Dispersant Use in Gulf, Call for Independent Research
Published: Thursday, 22 Jul 2010

BLUE HILL, Maine, July 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- To break up crude oil unleashed by the Deepwater Horizon rig, BP has injected nearly two million gallons of Corexit chemical dispersants into the Gulf of Mexico. The massive volume of dispersants and the way they have been applied -- both on the surface and 5,000 feet beneath it -- is unprecedented. Once oil is dispersed in deep water, it cannot be recovered.

The statement, authored by Dr. Susan Shaw, Director of the Marine Environmental Research Institute, stands on a large body of research indicating that crude oil and dispersants are more toxic when they are combined than either oil or dispersants alone. The statement also calls for: Full public disclosure of all the chemical ingredients in the Corexit formulations and full toxicity data on these chemicals in combination with oil.

Full public disclosure of information about adverse health effects and all monitoring and testing data collected by government agencies.

Immediate funding for independent research to fully assess toxic impacts on the ecosystem and human health. The scientists believe the worst impacts of the disaster are yet to come, and without deliberate, independent scientific tracking and assessment, they could remain hidden.

PRESSURE At The Wellhead And What It Really Means
Posted on July 17, 2010 by concernedcitizensofflorida
By Dr. Tom Termotto

A CLOSER LOOK AT METHANE SEEPS AND SIGNATURES

BP and the Coast Guard are watching the pressure at the wellhead very, very closely because of what it will mean for the future prospects of this well. Pressure readings under a critical threshold usually mean that there may be leaking elsewhere in the system. If there is a single leak, it will be more easily diagnosed and remedied depending on where it is. If there is more than one leak present, a whole set of different challenges emerges. Most importantly, keeping the system under pressure, when leaks exist anywhere, will inevitably increase the potential for those leaks to worsen.

“OPERATE TO FAILURE”: How BP’s MO & The US Addiction To Oil Caused The Catastrophe Of The Millennium
Posted on July 4, 2010 by concernedcitizensofflorida
And Why It Is So Difficult To Put This Genie Back In The Bottle

Really, why has it been so difficult to put this GENIE (Oil & Gas) back into the bottle (Macondo Prospect, Gulf of Mexico)? Or at least keep any more of him from coming out?

There are many reasons, on many different levels, but let’s start with BP and the culture of corporate superiority that has evolved at this multi-national behemoth since its founding in 1908. We’re talking about the granddaddy here – the Anglo-Persian Oil Company – which was the first to develop the oil and gas reserves discovered in the Middle East. Simply put, when you’re the biggest and the oldest in that neck of the woods, you get used to doing it your way, and ONLY your way.

Well, British Petroleum’s way of developing oil and gas throughout their planetary stomping grounds (Planet BP — a BP online, in-house magazine) is known to many insiders and outsiders alike by the catchphrase that goes like this – “OPERATE TO FAILURE”. This British Petroleum modus operandi has been confirmed by former BP employees and contractors, and verified by many insiders, deep contacts and whistleblowers throughout the Oil & Gas Industry. Much of this testimony was received directly by this author in the process of setting up interviews with CBS 60 Minutes, as they complete their production of a followup Gulf Oil Spill segment to the season’s last:

Deep sea plume in Gulf 'changes concept' of an oil spill

Saturday, July 24, 2010

On Friday, the BP oil spill's true extent snapped into 3-D.
New evidence shows that micro-droplets of oil, too small for the
human eye, have streamed out from the spill site in plumes, adding a
third dimension beyond the smelly slick and glumpy tarballs spreading
across the map.And that dimension is down.Deep down -
nearly three-quarters of a mile below the surface -- past the point
where plants can live, down to right about where light gives up and dark
takes over, where the sea is not blue but black, to the deepest edges
of what scientists call the twilight zone.Yes, BP's oil is making itself at home down there, too.It
is not entirely a surprise. There have been reports of deep sea oil
"plumes" spreading out from the well site for a month or so.But
Friday University of South Florida researchers said they confirmed that
the invisible plumes they detected in May, 50 miles from the well, near
the DeSoto Canyon that ferries nutrient-rich deep-sea water to Florida's
western shore, did indeed come from the BP spill site.And a new
government report unveiled signs of what may be substantially higher
concentrations of dispersed oil closer to the well.USF's finding
"changes this whole concept" of an oil spill, said David Hollander, the
USF chemical oceanographer who made the confirmation, in a phone call
with reporters."The fact that petroleum hydrocarbons can reside
in the water column changes the paradigm of what a traditional oil spill
is," which is, usually, confined to the surface, he said.At the
deepest level, the USF researchers found oil at about 0.75 parts per
million. That's less than the 1 part per million that's commonly
considered acutely toxic, Hollander said, but he cautioned that exposure
time also matters. Some sealife have likely been exposed to those
levels of oil for months, potentially making it as damaging as more
concentrated oil, he added.The oil droplets could coat fish gills, be eaten by larval fish, or kill fish eggs, he said.As
a result, the dispersed oil could have a long-term impact on the Gulf's
marine life, he said, a picture that may not be fully understood for
years.George Maul, head of the Department of Marine Environmental
Systems at the Florida Institute of Technology, said that what's
happening in the water column is "much more complicated than anything
we've had before.""Some of (the oil) was certainly dissolved in
the water column. Some of it was probably eaten by microbes in the water
column. Some of it may have just dissolved, and heaven knows where it
is," he said.Jerry Galt, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration oceanographer who specializes in forecasting the spread
of oil spills, said that the subsurface oil has been spreading out
slowly and is mostly a problem in the area closest to the well site.Oil
on the surface tends to pool together even after it has separated,.....

Rig alarm system partly disabled at time of blast

. Friday, July 23, 2010

KENNER, La. — An alarm system was
partially shut down the day the ill-fated oil rig Deepwater Horizon
exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and setting off the
massive spill, an electronics technician who was aboard told an
investigative panel on Friday.Later in Washington, the House
Energy and Commerce Committee, which is investigating the spill, asked
Transocean Ltd. for documents concerning safety and the condition of
equipment on the rig. Transocean owned the rig, which was being leased
by BP PLC. BP is responsible for cleaning up the millions of gallons of
oil that have seeped into the Gulf.Technician Mike Williams told
the investigative panel that the alarm system was turned on to monitor
for fire, explosive gas and toxic gas but that its sound and light
alarms had been disabled. The Marine Accident Investigation panel was
meeting in Kenner. It is made up of Coast Guard members and the Bureau
of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement — formerly the
Minerals Management Service.Williams testified that he had asked
before about the settings and was told the company didn't want a false
alarm waking people at night.Williams said that if the system had
been fully active, an alarm likely would have sounded before the
explosion, which happened on the night of April 20......

MIAMI, July 24 2010Bonnie Breaks Apart in Gulf of Mexico
Tropical Depression Weakens; Storm Less Likely to Strengthen as it Heads Toward Site of Oil Spill

Bonnie Weakens to Tropical Depression over Gulf

Bonnie Hits Florida on Way to Gulf

(AP) Bonnie is breaking apart in the Gulf of Mexico and the tropical depression with winds near 30 mph could soon weaken to an area of low pressure.

Forecasters with the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Saturday that it was less likely that Bonnie would strengthen as the storm heads toward the site of the blown-out oil well in the Gulf.

The center of Bonnie came ashore Friday near Cutler Bay, about 20 miles south of Miami.

It moved into the eastern Gulf and was about 215 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) Saturday.

Forecasters say they will likely discontinue a tropical storm warning from Destin, Florida. to Morgan City, Louisiana, later Saturday.

Bonnie is moving west-northwest near 20 mph.

Samples taken 100 miles offshore Tampa for baseline tests
USF: Underwater oil came from BP well, WTSP Tampa Bay, July 23, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. EDT:
<blockquote>[O]il was found suspended at depths of 400 meters and 1,000 to 1,400 meters beneath the Gulf’s surface…
The 400-meter layer was approximately 30 meters (100
feet) thick, and was observed 45 nautical miles north-northeast of the
Deepwater Horizon site.
The layer at 1,000 to 1,400 meters was observed approximately 24 nautical miles east of the Deepwater Horizon site. …</blockquote>
The article added that scientists have gathered “baseline water quality and food web samples” from waters “north of Tampa and west about 100 miles off the coast.”

DIRE REALITIES OF THE METHANE PREDICAMENT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
Posted on July 13, 2010 by concernedcitizensofflorida



Methane Gas, Methane Hydrate & Methane Clathrate Formations and Behavior

There has been a spate of articles recently throughout the MSM and alternative media depicting the methane gas predicament associated with the BP Gulf Oil Spill. Many of these perspectives portray an alarming state of affairs concerning extremely high concentrations of methane that have accumulated in numerous areas in the Gulf of Mexico. The two primary issues of concern are the methane effects in the aquatic environment and the methane gas accumulations in the atmosphere above the Gulf and within contiguous land masses. In regard to the latter, the weather patterns will reign supreme. Once methane rises above the surface of the Gulf, where it goes, how it accumulates and what its toxic effects on life will be, is going to be dictated to a great extent by the weather.

More on the oil plumes as covered also by Spiritwarrior's post 230 above

Researchers confirm subsea Gulf oil plumes are from BP well

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Through a chemical fingerprinting process, University of South Florida researchers have definitively linked clouds of underwater oil in the northern Gulf of Mexico to BP's runaway Deepwater Horizon well — the first direct scientific link between the subsurface oil clouds commonly known as "plumes" and the BP oil spill, USF officials said Friday.

Until now, scientists had circumstantial evidence, but lacked that definitive scientific link.

The announcement came on the same day that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that its researchers have confirmed the existence of the subsea plumes at depths of 3,300 to 4,300 feet below the surface of the Gulf. NOAA said its detection equipment also implicated the BP well in the plumes' creation.

Together, the two studies confirm what in the early days of the spill was denied by BP and viewed skeptically by NOAA's chief — that much of the crude that gushed from the Deepwater Horizon well stayed beneath the surface of the water.

re mundras report above

The paragraph that stood out for me in this report is a quote from the chemical oceanographer David Hollander, "It has gone from a two-dimensional
disaster to a three-dimensional catastrophe."

am still not satisfied of where the underwater cams are from, or if their real or a Hollywood production as suggested by Mundra

I've lost track of the times I've thought this can't get any worse, it does.

the lack so little information coming from the locals, clinics, doctors, hospitals is worrying.

I though a blog would have been set up by the local people involved and the impact on the daily lives ect., would have surfaced by now.

so much just does not make sense. i'm aware that things are wrong but does anyone else get the feeling that's there's something REALLY WRONG about ALL of this? is it true that the military have road blocks in certain areas? how do we know if small amounts of the population have already been FEMAed away?

there was a CNN interview ages back with what they called their MEDICAL A TEAM?, where they showed the decontamination tents. he said something along the lines that the houses , roads, towns were empty, does anyone remember that? am looking to find the link but had to find archived videos fromCNN.

when workers are finished in the contaminated tents , BP refused to allow them to take away the clothes they came in with, imo, so they cannot be analysed.

must of the reports and articles are about the oil itself but very little on the impact of people, doesn't anyone feel this is strange, I'm beginning to think the reports are a distraction technique away from the destruction of the human impact?

maybe I've just got my paranoid hat on to-day.

Geochemist in Gulf says “When it rains, a lot of junk comes down from the particulate”

July 24th, 2010 at 11:38 PM Geochemist featured on PBS Newshour reports hydrocarbon remnants raining down near oil disaster
University of California Santa Barbara scientist and marine geochemistry expert Dr. David Valentine participated in a 10-day expedition to research the BP oil disaster.

Valentine noted that the area around the spill site “had a cloud of smoke hanging over it at all times”. The cloud was composed of surface burn smoke and the methane flair-up.

He said the burns form “one thick mass of clouds, and when it rains, a lot of junk comes down from the particulate“.

At least SIX ‘seeps’ found near Rigel methane deposits southwest of BP oil blow-out (PHOTOS)

July 24th, 2010

Rigel is known to be a “highly successful” unproduced methane gas field.
The seeps were identified by the Joint Analysis Group and research vessel Thomas Jefferson.
The Joint Analysis Group is comprised of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP).

• Report by the Joint Analysis Group.
  
• Report by the R/V Thomas Jefferson.
  

Several seeps southwest of the BP blow-out were first reported on
June 21, 2010 by scientists aboard the R/V Thomas Jefferson. The seepage
“appears to be natural gas” (methane) according to the NOAA report.
Did these seeps exist before BP began exploration of the doomed Macondo prospect?
Former Shell Oil executive and current Berkeley engineering professor Robert Bea is “troubled that we’re just now hearing about seeps three kilometers away, because a survey of the seabed conducted before BP drilled its well didn’t indicate anything like that,” according to the Times-Picayune.
He said, “There was nothing that indicated the presence of such a seep… I wonder why we’re just now finding that out?”
Bea has “very little confidence in what’s been said publicly about the seeps.”
This July 23 JAG report image shows areas of seepage near the BP
blow-out, with the majority appearing near the Rigel gas field. Seeps
are identified by purple cylinders:
BP blow-out = white cylinder (NOAA)

Seeps shown as ‘red and yellow columns’ & ‘purple cylinders’ in the June 21 report by the R/V Thomas Jefferson:
BP blow-out = solid bright red cylinder

EPA Whistleblower Says Federal Government Covering Up Lethality Of Corexit And Lying About BP Gulf Oil Spill Water Samples To Save BP Billions
Posted by Alexander Higgins -
July 24, 2010

Democracy Now has published a shocking interview with a top EPA official, Hugh Kaufman, who tells us that NOAA and the EPA are covering up the lethal effects of the neurotoxin pesticide dispersants and lying about Gulf Oil Spill water samples to save BP billions of dollars in fines.

In the interview with Democracy Now! Hugh Kaufman, a senior policy analyst at the EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, reveals some appalling details to the public. Here are some highlights of the revelations made by Hugh Kaufman. Well, Corexit is one of a number of dispersants, that are toxic, that are used to atomize the oil and force it down the water column so that it’s invisible to the eye.

In this case, these dispersants were used in massive quantities, almost two million gallons so far, to hide the magnitude of the spill and save BP money. And the government—both EPA, NOAA, etc.—have been sock puppets for BP in this cover-up.

Now, by hiding the amount of spill, BP is saving hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in fines, and so, from day one, there was tremendous economic incentive to use these dispersants to hide the magnitude of the gusher that’s been going on for almost three months.Congressman Markey and Nadler, as well as Senator Mikulski, have been heroes in this respect.

Congressman Markey made the BP and government put a camera down there to show the public the gusher. And when they did that, experts saw that the amount of material, oil being released, is orders of magnitudes greater than what BP and NOAA and EPA were saying. And the cover-up started to evaporate.…

People who work near [Corexit] are hemorrhaging internally[but the] EPA now is taking the position that they really don’t know how dangerous it is, even though if you read the label, it tells you how dangerous it is.… for example, in the Exxon Valdez case, people who worked with dispersants, most of them are dead now. The average death age is around fifty. It’s very dangerous, and it’s an economic—it’s an economic protector of BP, not an environmental protector of the public.

We know there is a cover up. Dispersants are being used. [In] Congress, at least three Congress folks—Congressman Markey, Congressman Nadler and Senator Mikulski—are on the case. And I think the media now has to follow the money, just as they did in Watergate, and tell the American people who’s getting money for poisoning the millions of people in the Gulf.

The sole purpose in the Gulf for dispersants is to keep a cover-up going for BP to try to hide the volume of oil that has been released and save them hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars of fines. That’s the purpose of using the dispersants, not to protect the public health or environment.I did the ombudsman investigation on Ground Zero, where EPA made false statements about the safety of the air, which has since, of course, been proven to be false. Consequently, you have the heroes, the workers here, a large percentage of them are sick right now, not even ten years later, and most of them will die early because of respiratory problems, cancer, etc., because of EPA’s false statements.

And you’ve got the same thing going on in the Gulf, EPA administrators saying the same thing, that the air is safe and the water is safe. And the [EPA] administrator misled Senator Mikulski on that issue in the hearings you talked about. And basically, the problem is dispersants mixed with oil and air pollution.

[The] EPA, like in 9/11—I did that investigation nine years ago—was not doing adequate and proper testing.

So we now have statements directly from a top EPA official that Government Agencies are doing doing inadequate and improper testing of Gulf waters and statements stating the Government is lying to the public about the dangers of Corexit to save BP millions of dollars in fines.

In the interview Hugh Kaufman then goes on to discuss how independent water tests performed by an local news station directly contradicted EPA test results and proved that the director of the EPA lied under oath in a congressional hearing about water samples taken from the Dauphin Island Alabama area.
And the Dauphin Island water samples are only one of many instances in which the EPA has lied about the contamination of Gulf waters.For example independent
water tests performed by Project Gulf Impact showed high levels of Corexit in the waters around Grand Isle, Louisiana while EPA data shows
no such contamination.

In fact in my last post I actually dug through the test results of all of the water samples that the EPA has done up until July 13th and pointed out dozens of instances showing the EPA is lying.

The bottom line here is that the Federal Government agencies has allowed tens of thousands of Americans to be poisoned during the Exxon Valdez and during 9/11 and history is once again repeating itself.

Why? To protect the profits of the billion dollar corporations from having to pay out liability claims and fines.

We find ourselves once again in the same exact situation again. The difference is we now have a top EPA official warning us that the Government is allowing us to be poisoned and lying to us about it just to save BP money.

Furthermore it is clear that the available evidence corroborates the claims of this official yet we sit idle allow it to happen.

When will we finally act and do something about it?

When tens of thousands of Gulf Coast residents end up with cancer,

genetic mutations or some other mysterious unexplained illnesses?

Why must we wait until after the damage is done when we can act now and prevent that damage from being done?

Perhaps we are not motivated to do anything because at this point it time it does not directly affect us?

But surely there has been enough oil and toxic dispersant released into the Gulf of Mexico to contaminate the food chain and even NOAA has admitted that may have already happened.

So then why must we wait until it is us or our children that have been poisoned?

Now is the time to act to put an end to the Government coverups of environmental disasters such as the BP Gulf Oil Spill.

Scientific research has already revealed that the BP Gulf Oil Spill has created a massive dead zone off the Coast of Alabama and BP is already paying off scientists and universities to keep such research from the public. Yet instead of revealing such data to the public the Federal Government says it can’t make such information public because of litigation with BP but immediately turns over the data BP.

If we simply sit by and continue to allow this to happen history will continue to repeat itself until we become part of the collateral damage ourselves.

If we don’t act now sooner or later it will be us and our children that are being poisoned in the name of profits for big corporations.http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com
