#1 Some Artics on the Net ascribe that the oil field underneath the DEEPWATER HORIZON RIG so so POROUS = FULL OF [natural?]LEAKS that even iff BP successfully capped the original, it may result only in the oil gush dievrting its flows + forcibly breaking thur one or more alternate leak spot(s), VEE "PATH(S) OF LEAST RESISTANCE"???

#2 We are 599 ft away from the O taking credit.

#3 The extent of leakage outside of the well casing under the Deep Horizon rig is unknown until the intercept well starts pumping. Some oil men have predicted the leak will not end until the undersea reservoir has basically been drained, however long that may take, and however many wells will have to be drilled to drain it/control the leak. Estimates on the size of the leaking reserve are, after all, just estimates.

#4 Yeah, bad news is that lake of oil, good news is dollar gasoline if the kooks are right. Ha!

#5 Adm. Thad Allen: OK all right. What’s going to happen is they’re going to slowly close the well bore 10 or 15 feet at a time for the next 600 feet or so when they get to the – and this will be slow and laborious because they’re going to stop every 10 to 15 feet and make sure they know exactly where that well bore is at.

When they finally make the decision to go in this could be a two stage process but you have a pipe in the well bore and then you have the area the well bore between the pipe and the outside of the well bore, which they would call the (annualist).

annulus

That is basically a ring of area out there. They will intercept the well bore and start pumping mud in and the mud at first will probably go up the well bore to a point where it stops. That’s the reason having the capping device would be of some assistance at this point.

And then the column would slowly fill with mud down the well bore to the reservoir and at that point the total weight of the mud in the well bore will overcome the pressure at the reservoir and create a static situation where there are no hydrocarbons coming up. It would then allow cement to be pumped in and basically plug the well.

This could happen in two stages because it may be necessary to pump mud into the (annualist), which is the area between the pipe and the well bore perimeter, and then actually drill into the pipe itself and repeat that process inside the pipe. Talking to the folks at BP and the scientists that are overseeing this, this could happen very quickly or it could take several days depending on the actual status of the well.

If you’ll remember, I’ve stated earlier that we don’t know the status of the well bore right below the wellhead itself down about 1 or 2,000 feet. We don’t know if there are integrity problems with that. That might require a large amount of mud to be pumped in because some that might go out into the strata of the formation around it.

I think the general – I think the general estimates that I’ve heard it could be as quick as two or as many as five to get this done depending on the condition of the well bore.

#6 We need to drill baby drill! HAHA, bites Obama in the ass. I love it, the only answer to the problem is to drill as many wells as we can and pump the oil out to reduce the pressure. We should call this Palen field!!!

#7 Gotta nuke that baby so that GAIEA = EARTH can have its own massive MAN-CREATED RAMJET ENGINE on one side of the planet.

AIRPLANE > POINT_COUNTERPOINT > D *** NG IT, WE BUILT THAT OIL NUKE FAIR AND SQUARE - I SAY, LETS NUKE THE GUSH + BLOW A HOLE IN THE SKY JUST BECUZ WE CAN!

SUN OR OIL FIELD, THEY MUST SURRENDER!

#8 ION NOT-NECESSARILY-UNRELATED to BP + OIL GUSH

* TOPIX > [Armenia vs. Azerbaijan]RUSSIA'S RESPONSES ARE [usually] 150 YEARS LATE: AFRD GROUP SPOKESMAN.

Replace RUSSIA wid Politicians = Govt-critters, HYPER PCORRECTNESS, OWG + POLITIX-AS-USUAL, ETC. to find out why the future OWG-NWO SUDDENLY RAN LOW OR OUT OF ENERGY, or in the altern blew a massive sky hole on one side of the Planet.

SILLY MORIARITY THOUGHT OWG-NWO + GLOBALISM DIDN'T HAVE ANY MAJOR ISSUES!

COMET APOPHIS + MOON BOOMS > the OWG-NWO has 19-26 Years to review + "perfect", doublecheck + quadruple check, its MATH,MODELS, + ANTI-SPACE ROCK FIREPOWER, ETC.

D *** NG IT, CLEARLY 19-26 YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR GOVT-CRITTERS + "24"s KIEFER SUTHERLAND!
