Update on BP Rigs location & Fault Connection – 10 Nov 2010

Fig 134-4 Macondo oil leaks & Faults Connection (preliminary)

Advertise | AdChoices

Figure 134-1 shows the satellite image with the location of the four drilling rigs at the Macondo Site. West Sirius moved out on the morning of 2 Nov 2010 to park at the edge of the Mississippi Canyon, south of Grande Isle. But the position track for the last 1 week, after our articles on the mysteries of the “flying drilling rigs” were out, had been anomalous. West Sirius has been flying all over the place as shown in figure 134-2. The position has been obtained from www.marinetraffic.com. Perhaps the website which receives the vessel update information from BP are not aware of the position discrepancies.

So just as the BP’s ROVs can perform magic by flying all over the places from Macondo site to Atlantis site (240 km distance), BP has also came out with the “same advanced technology” of transporting the massive drilling rigs weighing over 20,000 tons over thousands of km within seconds. BP is truly beyond petroleum. This travel and transport at the speed of light would be necessary for Human next space adventure. This is yet another evidence of mass deception.

So now, we have to take the position of the “flying drilling rigs” with a pinch of salt. Occasionally, we are able to get some reasonable position. How do we verify the rig position? Well, we are not telling at the moment but let just say there are enough people with conscience to feed us.

The updates on 10 Nov 2010 tell us a scary picture. BP appears to have abandoned the triple wells location (Well A, Well B and S20BC) completely. Discoverer Enterprise (DE) is still working at a location it was sitting on for the last 2 months. Notice the red line passing thru this location to the triple well location. That is the deep major NW-SE strike-slip fault we had been talking about for the last 3 months or so.

Development Driller 2 (DD2) has moved from Well A location, after removing the expensive BOP and replacing it with a memorial cap; in memory of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) and the 11 personnel killed there. This is a new location after DD2 had flown thousands of miles (twice) to the South Pacific. Simply amazing this new transport technology BP has. We do not know what DD2 is doing or even if this location is accurate. We just have to take BP’s word for it (tongue in cheek).

DD3 is still around the location it was sitting since moving from Relief Well C in mid Sept.

It is scary to note that all the three rigs positions are 6.3 miles (DD3), 7.4 miles (DE) and 8.8 miles (DD2) from well A. DD3 and DE are both at the toe of the shelf slope (escarpment) while DD2 is on the mid-slope. So was the late Matt Simmons right about the massive leaks 7 miles from the blown out well on 20 April 2010? It would not be surprising to have oil and gas leaking out here at the toe of these huge escarpments which are many times larger than the escarpment at the Macondo well location. Is the 22 Mile River of Oil 5-7 Miles Sw Of Well A as reported by WHOI associated with the leak from BP’s broken oil reservoir?

~~~~~~quote~~~~~~~~

Scientists from WHOI, along with the Coast Guard and other institutions, used an array of high-tech gadgets — including an autonomous unmanned vehicle (AUV) named the Sentry—along with mass spectrometers, to find and track the plume.

Dr. Richard Camilli of WHOI had this to say: “We’ve shown conclusively not only that a plume exists, but also defined its origin and near-field structure.”

That certainly runs counter to most of the reports we’ve seen so far.

Dr.Samantha Joye a marine science professor at the University of Georgia, told The New York Times: “The idea that 75% of the oil is gone and is of no further concern to the environment is just incorrect.”

For now, we don’t know if more plumes are lurking out there. The ocean currents at these depths are still somewhat of a mystery, even to scientists who study them for a living.

~~~end of quote ~~~~~~~

Many bloggers had reported that skimmer-vessels had been busy there in the last few months and the coast guards had noted in their logs that an Orange Spill was noted on 22 April 2010 on the day of the second explosion which brought the DWH down. It is even scarier if you follow the fault line 56 miles NW from well A and the “giant gas bubble” noted by the coast guard on their return (to base) hours after the 22 April 2nd explosion. Follow the adjacent NW-SE fault line another 158 miles 316º NW you get to the epicentre of the 2 Aug earthquake, magnitude 3 on the Richter scale. See figure 134-3.

Are all these “oil events” and the earthquake connected to the Macondo broken reservoir unleashed by the 20 and 22 April 2010 blowouts? Looking at figure 134-4 it would be hard to dismiss the connection. These ancient deep seated faults beneath the Quaternary Sediment are believed to have been formed when the Gulf of Mexico was tectonically active. The fractured underlying geology as confirmed by Dr Bea in his Interview With The Georgewashington2.Blogspot.Com could be the main reason why BP’s broken Macondo reservoir was so difficult to patch up.

Found a vessel called holiday - don't know if is chouest holiday though.

After the oil spill there have been several earthquakes along the fault lines you depicted in areas where earthquakes are virtually unknown (reported on other forums).

The recent Oklahoma earthquake is one that comes to mind (not sure if on gom fault line) . Poster stated they never have earthquakes and was very shaken (no pun intended:) over experience.

I reckon the stress had been building up. Although the Gulf is not at the edge of the plate, the depth (central part - hollow) and the Mexican peninsular riding on top of the Caribbean Plate.

Do you have the links or can you paste the location of epicentre, time and depth? Would want to compile them into a single chart. Thanks

I'll see what I can find - here is the Oklahoma one recently:

One of the strongest earthquakes in state history startled Oklahomans Wednesday morning, rattling windows and nerves but causing no major damage or injuries.

.

.

the discrepancy between the earthquake magnitude estimated by his agency (4.3) and that of the Oklahoma Geological Survey (5.1) results from different methods for monitoring earthquakes. Both types of measurement are valid, he said, even though they produce different results.

The cause of Wednesday's quake and other recent ones could result from a buried fault or even oil and gas drilling activity, said Estella Atekwana, professor of hydrogeology at Oklahoma State University. The exact cause wasn't determined.

BTW - The Washington DC area (Maryland) recently had a rare earthquake recently.

Also lots of historical information available:

New Madrid Seismic Zone (pronounced /njuː ˈmædrɨd/), sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the southern and midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.

The New Madrid fault system was responsible for the 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes and may have the potential to produce large earthquakes in the future. Since 1812 frequent smaller earthquakes were recorded in the area.[1]

Earthquakes that occur there potentially threaten parts of seven U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

Geographic extent
The 150 mi (240 km) long fault system, which extends into five states, stretches southward from Cairo, Illinois, through Hayti, Missouri, Caruthersville and New Madrid, through Blytheville, Arkansas, to Marked Tree. It also covers a part of west Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake, extending southeast into Dyersburg.

Most of the seismicity is located from 3 to 15 mi (5 to 25 km) beneath the Earth's surface.

You are welcome BK

Kat has posted some very interesting stuff last few days about safe zones and notation on marine traffic to keep distance 2 miles.

If I recall correctly fisherman have been reporting all along that the hulls of their vessels are being damaged from what BP has dumped in the water.

Maybe some of the ships in the area are experiencing hull damage and being docked for inspection/repairs - i.e. chouest holiday.

For your viewing audience I also thought I would post this :)

West Sirius time traveling :)

Don't want those expensive rigs damaged either!!

Yes I am glad someone picked up the idea. There was some comments about solar flares affecting the satellite. If this is the case, then all satellite positions should be affected. Also the position moved should not be so rectangularish; ie the numbers would be more hay-wired and it would something more absurd. Solar flares do not know how to "adjust numbers" so that the numbers are still recognizable as lat & long coords.

I have been catching crooks using all these tricks for the last 30 years.

Yes eth, regarding the the corrosive effects of the dispersant used. You can see the difference between the well A and well B wellheads. Yeah by the way I have found the most conclusive evidence for the existence of Well B .. a video of the two well heads. You should see the corrosion difference between the two. Watch out for the update report. It will be soon.

I'm not near as observing as you, Kat and Ectar, but I have noticed in the past there were differences in the appearance of the wells in many respects. Sometimes the wellheads looked old, tarnished and dilapidated and other times not. Never had to time to go back and review everything, so am glad you are writing about it.

Yes many people had commented on it but they can never believe these deceptions could be used so sparingly;not in a multi-billion industry where lives are at stake. I would not have thought it was possible as well years ago when I started to notice the pattern of "misconduct" (to put it mildly).

The willingly parties are not innocent children. They are highly paid professionals (>1000 USD/day) rate with impeccable reputations. Maybe this could never have happened in the past in a first world country with stringent regulations and strong social responsibilities. But it is deteriorating. Qantas just had their 3rd emergency return to airport on engine trouble in less than 1 week.

Makes you wonder don't you think. Remember my earlier articles where I wrote of "bad habits" in 3rd world countries being imported to first world by returning offshore personnel. When you mix a bad apple with a bag of good ones, more will turn bad quickly. You cannot turn a bag of bad apples into good apples by introducing a fresh one.

"Makes you wonder don't you think. Remember my earlier articles where I wrote of "bad habits" in 3rd world countries being imported to first world by returning offshore personnel."

We're importing "bad apples" and exporting inflation - neither of which is wanted by the people of the country it is being foisted upon.

Maybe case of not what you know but who you know.

Besides BP makes nice big campaign contributions.

Our politicians are bought and therefore corrupt.

Love to see that changed, but recent supreme court decision guarantees it will be worse.
