Sea Floor Exploding! Where's the BOP?

reply to post by linux2216


Did you see them saying in the comments section on that site that one of the workers gave the finger to the camera? Those rotten turds!

Here is some video that I shot less than 1 hr ago:

From what I know.

Skandi ROV 1 is above the BOP/actual leak, it's filming the thing capping oil and the dispersants breaking up the oil, which is why you white stuff and the uneven flow as the thick oil breaks up.

Enterprise ROV 1 is still showing the BOP.

Regarding Skandi ROV 2 I got 4 hours recorded before my pc stopped. I never saw any red glows but I did see the ROV being connected to that rock on the floor with a laser looking device as the ROV moved around twice shortly.

Watching these right now. Compared to just 5 hours ago, both of these have increased in intensity dramatically. Skandi ROV1 was nowhere near that violent earlier today.

Basically, its worse.

Wow, have to wonder what the daily flow rate is now.

If they were admitting to 100K BPD, we could be tripple that now.

i don't have television and i never can see the live feeds, but wasn't it....blacker before?

like, is it obviously spewing more gas...or is my mind playing tricks on me?

First.
It's not magma but lava you people are talking about and there's none.
Nada, zero, nothing.

If it was magma it wouldn't be red but gray/black and there won't be anything to watch because everything down there would be in orbit around our planet. Not that bad but you get the picture. Lava would be red.

Magma scenario
If they had tapped in an active strat volcano down there, this entire stuff would wave blown up and generated one huge column of ash. It would also have created a "mouth" a couple of 100 meters in diameter and everything down there (well, bore, BOP, rov's) would have gone up in the sky in that ash plume. If that had happened, oil leak wouldn't be the least of our problems.

Lava scenario
Not even sure it's possible to have a lava flow down there, because of the pressure, temperature and nature of hidden calderas. But I could be wrong.
Anyway. That lava would have melted everything and it would have created a crater too.

No volcano, no lava, certainly no magma. Take my word for it.
We see oil, reddish paint from BP's infrastructure and white clouds of dispersant being mixed with the leaking oil.

Otherwise I don't see anything unusual on the cams, compared to past weeks. It's still leaking the same amount of oil, whatever the real amount is. But I've the feeling they increased the injection of dispersant since a couple of days.

Hope this helps,

I have to say it doesn't appear any worse than when they first put that cap atop the BOP. Prior to them hooking up that additional collection hose, you couldn't even see those 4 legs protruding on the bottom of that cap because of the outflow. Sometimes the output looks greater when they close off that manifold for a while, but even then it still doesn't look like as much as in the beginning. Certainly though, as the pressure eventually begins to drop down below in that reservoir, any frozen methane will begin to turn into gas, thus probably pushing the pressure back up there again. It probably will eventually start to slow and grow and slow and grow.

BTW, that containment cap sure looks deceptively smaller down below when there isn't anything within the picture to reference its size alongside. Here's a picture of the thing while it was topside. It sure looks big in this picture, but not so much when you are looking at those ROV cams.

Just to point out, it is possible.
