Senator confirms reports that wellbore is pierced; oil seeping from seabed in multiple places

Vatic Note:  Well, finally we were able to obtain a link that worked.   This is serious and they still are not saying just how serious.  Is this an extinction level event in two years when the oil AND TOXTIC DISBURSEMENT have poisoned the seas and oceans?  What impact will this have on the creation of rain from the oceans and seas???  What will be then the impact on fresh water?   What will it mean for our crops and farming?   Oil in the rain?  Its happening in Florida already.   IS THIS WHY THERE ARE UNDERGROUND BASES WITH LIVING FACILITIES?  IS THIS WHY THE SURVIVAL FOOD PACKAGES WERE BOUGHT UP BY THE GOVERNMENT last year from the ship containers as they docked, thus creating a shortage for the survival sites and the camping customers?  IS THIS WHY ROCKEFELLER AND GATES BUILT THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR SEED BANK AND HAD EVERY COUNTRY CONTRIBUTE SEEDS TO IT?  This is mass murder if this is the case, why are these people not in jail already.   IS THIS WHY THE SWAT TEAMS WERE SENT TO THE RIGS?  IS THIS WHY MILITARY ARE MOVING INTO LOUISIANA?  MILITARY IS IN  CONTROL TAKING ORDERS FROM BP, IS THIS WHY?  WHY MILITARY AND NO ONE WITH EXPERTISE TO STOP OR FIX IT?  Is this the depopulation effort in one big shot???  YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT I AM GOING TO ASK, AS YOU SHOULD BE ASKING.  This appears to be a very serious game they are playing.

Why are experts in this field not on site.  Why are new Orleans residents saying they know if they try to go to the gulf they will be arrested, why are reporters being arrested for taking pictures and their cameras confiscated?   Where is the UNITED ARAB EMERITES who have experience with this and have offered to come and help and RECIEVED NO RESPONSE AS HAVE OTHERS.  I called the public line for the EPA yesterday and they have no information, told me to fill out a form etc.  I said " All I want to know is what does this mean to the globe and to our entire population of people, animals, flora and fauna???"   NO ANSWERS AND NO PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL TO GET THOSE ANSWERS.   Its way past time to quit sitting here and doing nothing, we must force them into calling in those who can help.   I am going to call the embassy for the UAE and see if they will come and talk with citizens with expertise in this field and help us outside of our government and BP.  I will let you know what happens. 

Senator confirms reports that wellbore is pierced; oil seeping from seabed in multiple places

Senator Bill Nelson was interviewed by Andrea Mitchell this morning on MSNBC and confirmed reports of oil seeping up from additional leak points on the seafloor.

Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL): Andrea we’re looking into something new right now, that there’s reports of oil that’s seeping up from the seabed… which would indicate, if that’s true, that the well casing itself is actually pierced… underneath the seabed. So, you know, the problems could be just enormous with what we’re facing.

Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC: Now let me understand better what you’re saying. If that is true that it is coming up from that seabed, even the relief well won’t be the final solution to cap this thing. That means that we’ve got oil gushing up at disparate places along the ocean floor.

Sen. Nelson: That is possible, unless you get the plug down low enough, below where the pipe would be breached.

A report  confirms that Senator Nelson’s office is “fully aware of the breaking news and significance of what the Senator said to Andrea Mitchell.

Nelson is not the first to mention reports of a rupture in the wellbore.

BPs findings show fracture in the wellbore

Wall Street Journal, June 2:

BP PLC has concluded that its “top-kill” attempt last week to seal its broken well in the Gulf of Mexico may have failed due to a malfunctioning disk inside the well about 1,000 feet below the ocean floor.

The disk, part of the subsea safety infrastructure, may have ruptured during the surge of oil and gas up the well on April 20 that led to the explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig, BP officials said. The rig sank two days later, triggering a leak that has since become the worst in U.S. history.

The broken disk may have prevented the heavy drilling mud injected into the well last week from getting far enough down the well to overcome the pressure from the escaping oil and gas, people familiar with BP’s findings said. They said much of the drilling mud may also have escaped from the well into the rock formation outside the wellbore. …

The administration told BP on Saturday to halt the top-kill procedure, after becoming “very concerned” that the operation was putting too much pressure on the out-of-control well.

Will the relief well work if the wellbore is fractured?

Bloomberg, June 2:

Plugging the well is another challenge even after BP successfully intersects it, Robert Bea, a University of California Berkeley engineering professor, said. BP has said it believes the well bore to be damaged, which could hamper efforts to fill it with mud and set a concrete plug, Bea said.

What if the relief well does not work?

Bloomberg, June 2:

The ultimate worst-case scenario is that the well is never successfully plugged, said Fred Aminzadeh, a research professor at the University of Southern California’s Center for Integrated Smart Oil Fields who previously worked for Unocal Corp. That would leave the well to flow for probably more than a decade, he said in a telephone interview

Additional references made to oil seeping from the sea floor because of a ruptured casing along the wellbore

On May 27, oil industry insider Matthew Simmons said that the gigantic 22 mi x 6 mi x 3,000 ft plume north of well is likely coming from another leak point at the wellhead or a fissure in the sea floor.

May 26, Simmons made reference to “another leak –much bigger– 5 to 6 miles away”:

Matthew Simmons on Bloomberg, May 28:



Matthew Simmons: “Chairman and CEO of Simmons & Company International, is a prominent oil-industry insider and one of the world’s leading experts on the topic of peak oil. Simmons… create[d] an investment banking firm catering to oil companies. In his previous capacity, he served as energy adviser to U.S. President George W. Bush.”
