In this particular oil spill solution, BP will channel the oil leak to a nearby Discoverer Enterprise Drillship that will collect the oil from the broken oil pipe so that it won’t be spilled into the ocean. The procedure is being carried out by remotely operated vehicles or ROVs since the pressure of the oil leaking out and the dept prevents divers from actually doing the procedure.
After numerous efforts to contain the oil spill which includes boom oil spill equipments, huge oil spill containment domes, oil separators and the top kill procedure, BP seems to have found the perfect oil spill solution through the recently implemented Lower Marine Riser Package or LMRP.
BP recently reported that this oil spill solution brought them success in preventing the oil spill to leak into the ocean injuring not just marine life but also the livelihoods of fishermen. Currently, this BP oil spill containment cap is increasing the capacity of oil it is funneling out of the Gulf of Mexico.
Though the BP Oil Spill Live Feed continuous to show gushing oil, reports said that the oil spill containment cap is now funneling out about 440,000+ gallons of oil per day from its previous 250,000 gallons.
Although this claim of success is too early to tell, since BP has never tried this oil spill containment method before at depths of 5,000 feet under water, BP is expecting the best in this oil spill solution.
Why not taking care of the complete spill? And freeing the drill ship. With a good chance of quick restart after hurricane?
Oil- Methane – separated and stored in tankers.
JUST AN IDEA THAT WORKS: ALL DETAILS AVAILABLE
Dear Sir, Madam:
Since 40 days I’ve been struggling to find a ear and some common sense attached to it. I have posted a solution for the oil spill containment on CR4 forum. Post OIL SPILL #362 and “house of the rising oil”.
If you have time and the containment is important to you, please read it and read the comments that follow upon that post.
I find it my duty to WARN everyone about the EXTREME dangerous situation that is being put together with the new containment system. A catastrophe like the Horizon is challenged again with the DRILL SHIP this time.
The scenario now is fairly safe but doesn’t help a lot to stop further contamination of the Gulf.
Closing down the exhausts (or bypasses) on top of the BOP will lead to one of the following events:
1. crude transport to the vessel at a critical explosion level. No BOP down and one big methane bubble can set everything to blast. (read RPT methane)
2. if not anticipated, the dome and riser pipe will be lifted from the BOP. This is back to the beginning.
Since day one, the thinking pattern has been led in the wrong direction: A FAR TOO SMALL PIPE TO CONTAIN THE SPILL.
I and other eminent scientists have predicted all the failures of the attempts thus far. And this one proves to not deal with the containment either.
The example shows us: clathrates form because of the containment method. In the open ocean, the Oil makes it to the surface (except being hindered by dispersants).
Nobody sees ICE BERGS showing on the surface in the GULF.
Nature shows and hands us the solution.
The answer is very simple: Like I did with my infantile post on CR4 I take the freedom again to state the solution in understandable terms:
WE ARE 4 ROBOTS, A BLOWJOB,A MODIFIED TANK, A FEW BARGES, A OIL TANKER AND A METHANE TANKER AWAY FROM STOPPING THE SPILL. – this requires 3 days maximum and some explanation:
1. I skip the robots, they just need to bring a hose down, over the BOP.
2. The BLOWJOB: as you know plastic bags are made with circular extrusion machines and then BLOWN to size.
The process is continuous and theoretically runs as long as you feed the Plastics in it. Hoses up to 40 feet circumference can be easily blown this way in a little time.
3. Yes, there is a hose needed, a simple plastic HDPE membrane, OF THE RIGHT SIZE, (to big is not that big a problem- but I’ll explain that later)
4. Through this hose, the crude will be pushed upwards to the surface, where it can be captured: THIS IS NOT THAT SIMPLE AS IT LOOKS NOW.
The crude has lots of Hydro Carbons, and the main devil in the play is the methane. The liquid methane forms the Clathrates in contact with water, forming ICE- like cloths that can agglomerate.
Here the small pipe diameter is a lost case. Even when they don’t let seabed water come in the process, there will be a fair amount of water in the base flow, adding up to the same problem.
Our proposal is based on understanding the underlaying physics and dynamics of Methane in Crude oil.
And understanding the physics of working from surface to that mile depth.
5. In the hose we will transport the formed clathrates up to the surface where they can thaw in a area that has room to expand. A too big hose will keep the heavier crude components from climbing too.
Here the dynamics of flow and more precisely the speed come in play. The new feed takes them up all along.
6. In this 1500 meter climb we will have the freezing, thawing, the expansion and in the top section of the hose, replaced purposely with a floating device, a fair separation of water, crude and methane will be accomplished, so that all can be pumped into resp. tankers, built for that purpose. Following our design, with a maximum of safety and in a environmentally correct way.
This top section is nothing more than a modified oil storage tank, kept afloat next to one, or between 2 or 3 barges, that provide also mooring space for the tankers.
I’ll be more than happy to assist in further details.
The title is a promise that can be kept.
This shouldn’t happen any longer.
Get the oil contained this way and BP can work on stopping the well and cleaning up the mess.
Yes, a not that simple plastic hose can do the job.
You only need a membrane, the ocean is there to HELP with the water pressure and difference in S.G.
Don’t fight against it, use it as a ally.
One idea always makes the difference.

Both already happened – lightning strike? Hmmm. Good Luck
