Figure 7 Impossible for DWH to be drilling at well A on April 20 blowout

Advertise | AdChoices

Diagrammatic illustrations are used to explain why the Deepwater Horizon blowout could not have happened as reported by BP. BP could not have been drilling at Well A location when the 20th April blowout occurred, but an undisclosed seabed location (S20BC) 720ft NW of Well A. BP capped the wrong well as many had long suspected but unable to prove without insiders' information.

figure 7a

See for yourself the improbability of the twisted Riser wreck standing 1500 ft above the seabed as illustrated by Aljazeera's interpretation of BP's official version of the blowout. Then compare that with the logical explanation of what actually happened in figures 8a to 8h.

If the shoe fits, ....... There are probably more evidence out there, in the ROVs' videos, emails, logs etc which are more incriminating. There must always be a story beneath all these. Why would BP go through such an extensive and elaborate cover-up? It just doesn't add up. Unless ........?

As the stomach turns ....... remember the Carol Brunett's Show?

Thanks BK. This thing is far from being wrapped up,as the administration is saying, and some people are saying they did a great job. Yeah, mission accomplished. Sure.

This is interesting, and when are the liars in this incedent going to be exposed?

There will be many in the Obama administration that need to be exposed, and fired.Or jailed.

Clarification of 2nd well that was blown up on 20th April 2010. Most would assume it is Well B. No it is not. For some obvious reasons (to be disclosed later), BP drilled at another location 720 ft NW of Well A. It might be shocking to most but it is a fact oil companies and offshore contractors do not faithfully and accurately report what is actually going on in the field. What is a few hundred feet in the middle of the ocean thousands of feet deep?

Back in the good old days where shore-based positioning systems (Hifix, Argo, Syledis etc) were the state of the art systems; where you have to record more than a week at a stationary point to get enough decent satellite passes to locate where you were, you would be lucky to get within 50 m of your target absolute position.

Most oil companies would apply for a backup location (in this case Well B) close by since they were unsure whether it would even be drilled. At 300ft apart (between well A and B), even a layman from outside the oil industry would see that it is ridiculously near especially when the ocean depth is 5000 ft (6%) and your target is another 18000 ft. That distance is just 6% and 1.3% respectively. No for all purposes and intent, well B location is for "show only" location wise. It has other purposes.

A second well would be useful in case of unexpected delay. As in BP's case, the permit for well A and B run from 15 April-24 July 2009 and from 15 April till 24 July 2010 (100 days each) respectively. So it is handy as evident in BP's case. Since each well will take between 2 weeks to 4 weeks actual drilling, you do not need 100 days. But it comes in handy so that you do not run foul of the law.

BP re-entered Well A on 6th Feb 2010. By right it would be reported as Well B since the permit for Well A ran out on 24 July 2009. In fact Well A, drilled by Marianas from 7 Oct till 9 Nov 2009 did not exactly fit the permit details either (see link).

http://bklim.newsvine.com/_news/2010/07/15/4683478-a-pattern-of-massive-shares-sell-off-by-bp-directors-prior-to-expected-disasters

Even from this few events, you can see that the details given in the MMS BP permit and exploration plan (ref: OCS-G 32306 control no: N-9349 submitted Feb 2009) did not remotely match the actual field events. Is this not proof of what I had been saying all along? What goes on in the field offshore is not always accurately reported; let alone future events applied for more than a year before the drilling has even started. In my long career, I had investigated and proven many wells and boreholes had been drilled at the wrong places; some by more than 500 m from their intended location. In one survey, the survey area shifted by more than 1.5 km. There were deliberate cover-ups of course (like in BP's case) to save their own skin, once the initial discrepancies were noted.

In the end truth will prevail as always but it takes time and efforts. If you have survived as many blowout, drilling and survey fiascos as I have (on the truth side I mean), you will know that there are a lot of sharks swimming out there in the offshore industry. BP's cover-ups are not new to me. In fact I would be truly surprised and amazed if BP had been an angel.

My postings had been strategically timed and laden with predictive "traps" to prove the hidden moves behind this Charade of the Century. It will become clearer with the coming posting "Of predictability, disasters and insider trading".

Mr. Kim, Are we to assume the oil is still flowing from the unreported blow out crater? Why is it not rising to the surface like the other oil? Can it be stopped? How can the blow out crater be verified? What is to be done? thank you.

Yes probably but the ROVs are not showing any video of it. I doubt if BP is willing to show the unadulterated videos of the blown-out crater. At this stage, I would be very sceptical of any data coming out of BP as the videos of other seabed could be shown giving the S20BC's coord. BP would do anything to discredit me or this posting.

I am probably letting the cat out of the bag. BP could have capped the Bogus Well (Well A) much earlier or the relief wells could have been drilled faster to kill the gushing well. How would it look if the Bogus Well A (which was inadequately plugged and started leaking again after the 20 April massive blowout) was capped in May and oil was still gushing out from the S20BC open well (suspected 20 April blownout crater)? So all attempts to kill well A had to fail or were designed to fail. See how easy the latest "Top Static Kill" was?

Remember the Containment Domes fanfare. It was cancelled due to some flimsy excuses even before they were deployed. Before the 10th of May, BP was sincerely trying to contain the spill with the Containment Dome until some smart Alex suggested the Switch-A-Roo plan to refocus the world's attention to Well A. Deploying the containment domes would have exposed S20BC location to the world. Video of it was shown to the world before 11 May when BP started to float the "Top Kill" idea through the BOP at Well A.

The reasons should be obvious if you have been paying attention. I have a nagging suspicion that if everything else failed, BP will just leave the S20BC open well as "a natural seep"; 3 months are probably long enough to reduce the gushing oil to resemble a more natural oil leak. Have you noticed BP's Bogus Press had been amplifying the thousands of leaking abandoned wells and natural oil seeps in the gulf and redirecting world's attention to BOP on Well A, after mid May.

At least that was the devious plan. Man proposes but GOD disposes.Hope that answers your questions.

Why is it not rising to the surface like the other oil?

This leads to the question why so much dispersant (corexit) was used. If you were to plot the ROVs' dispersant ops, they would no doubt be centred on this S20BC location. Again the ROV data may be adulterated to discredit this disclosure. I am pretty sure all the ROVs' operators had been "threatened" to secrecy. Some may not even know (just follow orders) of this top level Crime of Mass Deception.

Why is it not rising to the surface like the other oil?

There are reports of dispersants still being sprayed at night under the cover of darkness.There were also a couple Of ROV images caught in the past week of sub sea dispersant use.The fly overs at night have been witnessed by many along the coast.Below surface we only see what BP wants us to see,edited videos.

thank you for the most informative thing i have read since i started following this story long ago...and oddly enough, although WAY MORE PRECISE, what i just read here confirms my suspicions all along. i know nothing of the process of offshore drilling, but i DO have common sense, and their "story" never added up to me. especially just from watching the live feeds...EVERY time i saw something suspicious, suddenly the camera went offline shortly thereafter...coincedence? no i don't think so.

and in comparison to the numbers of wildlife killed because of exxon valdez, statistically, there is NO WAY WHATSOVER that the gulf should only have a small percentage of that total considering how they said BP was a valdez every few days.

the cover-up by the government and the ties involved have caused me MANY sleepless nights. i am in ohio, but live in new orleans prior to katrina. i KNOW the resolute of the people born and raised there. i believe THEM, not the BP official word, NOR THE GOVERNMENT! and with elections coming up soon i cannot wait to vote some of these crooks out of office. too bad we can't vote them ALL out.

and what scares me more, is that if they can so conviently cover THIS up, what on earth ELSE could they cover up?! and the corexit usage...don't get me started. i'm 30 min. west of cleveland, and i have seen with my own eyes this chemical acid rain and have been documenting the changes in my yard for the past two months.

anyone who wants to, look for me on facebook...(heather roberts barnes) and you can see my photos of my yard, and you'll be connected to other great people from the gulf with REAL photos and REAL stories.

and yes, i agree...DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM HOTTUBS! ;)

US have one of the tightest laws and regulations to prevent this sort of disaster and behaviour by BP. Yet BP has been able to circumvent and play footsie around these tight regulations. The long incubation of the "cozy relationship with Giant oil companies" has given rise to this monster - see my other comments at this link

I also made amap,and I identifeid 4 Places where until end of May oil was emitting. There is one broken end of a pipe spilling massive North of location A and one in 2000 feet distance North N orth- East to location A , which could be a part of a pipeline connection which may have already connected both wells or maybe well site A to one further Southor the Chevron/BP pielione to land. The other ones are the riser at location A resp the BOP at location B, the other at location A .

Nearby well A is also a big hole,There since Aug- 2 spits out braun mud, oil gas. Since Aug 12also Stones and even fiery particles. Nearby to that place the sea floor might have crashed and sunk several meters afterwards( BeePeeOilDisaster video at youtube)

I have also much video material which I will publish soon at youtube

Here is my map( Just scroll down to the bottom of the page

Hello, Lim,

sorry I could not answer yet but I hvemuch work with a new video. However; the salt dome theory ("Belucci dome?) seems to match all the facts , me and some other youtubers such as " BeePeeOilDisaster"have observed going on on the seafloor during weeks , when we were watching the rov images. " Catastrophy in waiting"

They have inspected the riser were (as Mike William said) the drilling pipe got stucked and they found it in a depth of exactly 5022 metern below sea level ( this rov measured in meters) ´. That 1400 meters above te end of the "blown out" riser., where supposedly the reservoir begins I have recorded that all and will publish it soon.

When the camera drove down, everthing what was the riser felt downwards That well however seems do be proper work. You see proper connections between the pipes, a concrete hangar where the smaller casings are connected , before the riser ends in 5012 Meters depth.No pressure comes p tat riser. But where the last casing (they had made before they got stucked ) ends , gas blows up . The gas from below has made a cave inside the formation. as the camera made an inspection I could see there parts from huge columns in the formation leading further down.) Breathtaking anyway. But the gas from below blows and dissapears then sidewards into the formation and take particles swaying down the riser away with . Seems not to be te Annulus . You even can see that by the velocity and vector it rushes sidewards into te formation.

Just the oil column in the seabed(rather: salt dome) is specifically lighter than the water column in the riser. That is why the pressure resp. the gas takes that way. "the easier one"

After inspecting the riser, they tried to get te stucked pipe lose. I tried to observe that, but te camera suddenly went dark They tried it several times and on several days. The last time the cameras went dark after distortions had apeared and I don`t know whether they got it out now.

I wil publish this video until tommorrow as I hope ( Su, 29-8-2010) youtube channel/user name : lighttowers.

I more and more believe they ran that risk ( what are they doing in Greenland? Its also at the tectonic/ continental shelf) they possiby want to get the Methanice out there?

They have no tools for catastrophies . The drill deeper down than ever before but with an years old safety standard At least it needs to have downhole safety valves ( which have to be like steel ball valves in the high pressure tabs in our houses: they most be at the lower end of the riser and if they are closed:as more pressure comes from below as tighter they close

Was lot of typing now I need a rest!

Best for all!

That is a mouthful. I believe Well A was only drilled down to 5022ft. The Numbers you see are in ft? Are you saying the well is only 5022 ft?

helmut-2211443

its not displayed I said the well where the pipe got stucked must be 5022 feet below sealevel. Thisis not the hole where the blowout was. The camera indicated o a dept of 5022 whatever it is . Its does ntstand it whether this are meters or feet

Just watch the 60 Minues report with the interview with Mike Wiliams.If it would be feet it would´t make much sense. 5022 feet belowed seafloor.

all witnesses telling things which might be anyway the truth ,but dont make much sense. Just noone tells the entire timeline , so none should get the time line together At all there where 3 holes drilled MC 252:

One is well A finished in 2009 ( which must be supposed to be the "world record" drilling with 35.505 feet below seafloor)

The other one is well B , they began to drill in Febrary 2010. this was drilled twice as in the first hole the drilling pipe got stucked and they had to cut it off This was what they have recently inspected. and what I was being about.

As Matt Simmons covered up, they had reported to MMS from February 2010 on problems with cracks around well A. but the DWH had drilled and almost completed well "B" when the incident occured.This was drilled into a depth of about 6.400 meters below sea level

My reconstruction says there was already a pipeline system installed between the wells and further to the South (Atlantis) and onto land to which als B was already connected to. however my rov reconstruction shsows at all 5 leaks. 3 of them ar bursted pipes. The wont tell you the truth anyway. so my theory , well A bursted ( simmons said even, it tore even the BOP apart. there is one piece looking ab bit as from a BOP It lies on the seafloor and was filmed by one rov in three Miles distance its my youtube video 2)

All the Blowout on 20.4 seems to me rather particularly comparable to the piper alpha pipeline breaknin 1988 . it hit all at one moment and destroyed almst the entiree drilling installation.

I dont know for sure None knows for sure. Its my entire theory. Just look my website. There I have gathered and linked lots of original material and documents The article is in German but you will find all related O- articles and documents in Englisch in the right columns, also those by Bloomberg ( Matt Simmons

It has four parts. here part 1:

http://alien-homepage.de/personal/environment/the_deepwater_horizon%20incident.html

The tragedy is happenig What I saw yesterday seemed by its slowmotion tome as if the rovs dive ad drive meanwhile around there morein oilt han in water.

okay I have to do something lets discuss later.
