BP: No oil leaking into Gulf from busted well - Yahoo! News

Oil stopped gushing into the Gulf of Mexico from BP's busted well Thursday for the first time since the disastrous spill began, the oil giant said. It was the most significant milestone yet in BP's effort to control one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.

"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."

Hopefully the pressure holds for the 1st reading after 6 hours.

"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."

Ummm, yeah, I can agree to that. How about never?

**pkxlugbsbv** · 07-16-2010, 01:37 AM

Let's all suck BP....BIG PENISES.....

Anyway, I'm waiting for the pressure to build up and ignite the methane under the Gulf seabed. It's gonna be a blast!

"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."

Funny, that's exactly what the President said today when asked about it.

**pkxlugbsbv** · 07-17-2010, 08:24 AM

Ulterior motives? BP? C'mon....

Oil industry expert Bob Cavnar isn't buying the official story. He told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the repeated missteps cast doubt on BP's explanation for why the cap was necessary in the first place.

"I don't understand this whole operation," Cavnar stated. "Sunday was the first time I heard the words 'well integrity test.' There's never been any discussion about this in their public disclosure or in anything else that I've seen. ... So I'm completely confused as to why they're taking this risk of damaging the well further. ... They didn't have all these steps worked out."

"They shouldn't be doing this at all," he suggested. "They should be continuing with the relief well to get this thing killed."

Cavnar believes that BP's true goal is to make it harder to measure the flow of oil from the damaged well, because under the Clean Water Act, it will be liable for civil penalties of up to $4300 for every barrel spilled.

"While they have every incentive to get the well killed, BP also has every incentive to not capture 100% of the well flow until they do," Cavnar wrote last week at Huffington Post. "As soon as they do capture all the flow, then a real, measurable number will be in front of the public, and that's the last thing BP wants, since that number will then be used to extrapolate environmental damage, hence per barrel fines that will likely run to the tens of billions anyway."

Wouldn't surprise me...

**pkxlugbsbv** · 07-17-2010, 08:00 PM

So you know all the facts about BP plugging the well? It is plausible given what BP has covered up thus far. That's why I said it wouldn't surprise me. Aren't you the same fact based expert who said criticism of Goldman Sachs was a "bugbear?" In the meantime, they have settled to fraud charges thus admitting to fraud. How facts backfire indeed...

**halfstreet** · 07-17-2010, 08:49 PM

No, as I have never used the word "bugbear" in print or out loud.

**pkxlugbsbv** · 07-18-2010, 01:22 AM

No, as I have never used the word "bugbear" in print or out loud.

It was something with "bug"....looks like most likely "Bugaboo" if previous posts are any indication....

Anyway....hopefully for everybody's sake there is no other hole...except BP the aholes which should not be trusted with anything.

Pull up those pants.....

Admiral Allen has sent the following letter, via The Oil Drum, to BP, regarding the discovery of oil seeps away from the well:

Dear Mr. Dudley,

My letter to you on July 16, 2010 extended the Well Integrity Test period contingent upon the completion of seismic surveys, robust monitoring for indications of leakage, and acoustic testing by the NOAA vessel PISCES in the immediate vicinity of the well head. Given the current observations from the test, including the detected seep a distance from the well and undetermined anomalies at the well head, monitoring of the seabed is of paramount importance during the test period. As a continued condition of the test, you are required to provide as a top priority access and coordination for the monitoring systems, which include seismic and sonar surface ships and subsea ROV and acoustic systems. When seeps are detected, you are directed to marshal resources, quickly investigate, and report findings to the government in no more than four hours. I direct you to provide me a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible without damaging the well should hydrocarbon seepage near the well head be confirmed.

Pull up those pants.....

So you've gone from "BP covering up MASSIVE HOLE miles away, cap test is 'absurd'!" to "Seep found near BP's blown out oil well".

You're not suffering any cognitive dissonance, are you?

**Caunnysup** · 07-19-2010, 10:02 AM

Any way you look at it, this BP oil spill is just God's way of punishing America, because America signed a pact with the Devil and is gay friendly and allows abortion and has gun laws...

Nope...just covering the fact BP still doesn't have the issue resolved and there is obfuscation...and yes I see you are still a douchebag who jumps on people and offers nothing of relevance of your own. Seriously Morely are you suffering from some kind of malady? You know your reputation precedes you....
