National BP Oil Spill Commission Report "Shredded" By Industry Expert | Oilgate

The word “geohazard” is not mentioned once in either of the above reports.
It is entirely possible that BP’s reasonable level of in-house expertise in this part of the GoM in such geologically risky conditions was overridden. Why one might well ask? Because the ultimate “paydirt” at MC252 was a prize of some 50 to 100 million barrels of oil (BP estimate), which for an extraction success ratio of 30% may have been worth 1500 to 3000 million US dollars. Small beer in relation to say, the Tiber prospect nearby but worth it all the same. This guesstimate is based on USD 100 a barrel. As the oil price continues to climb in the coming years, this black gold fortune was worth the risk for BP’s “management”.

Dear The GallowGlaich;

Thanks for coming forward with your industry’s information. We applaud your courageous action and look forward to more industry’s professionals speaking up. We are what we eat and the Industry is what the workers make it out to be. The people who play the Money GODs and hide cowardly in the boardroom are not the ones who have to face death in their daily work duties. They are not the victims in the event of a disaster. That’s why they could not care less with the reckless management and decisions made with vested business interests at heart and not in the interest of the industry, the safety of the workers, environment or the population going to be affected by their “insane master” plans.

Your article brings tears to my eyes for many personal reasons but most important of all it confirms there are more of us who care enough to step forward. Evil prevails in darkness. With sufficient beacons of truths, we can collectively flush out the darkness of evil and instill back true professionalism in our industry so that we may use the knowledge and technology in earnest search of less hazardous sustainable renewable energy.

I had always thought that I would work until my dying days in the Oil industry. Working with Dr Termotto had convinced me that we should let Oil (as the primary energy) go the way of the coal. There are surprisingly many “new” renewable energy resources available to us. Like a rich pampered child, we all have grown fat and lazy with oil, overlooking many viable alternatives right under our noses. All because of our perceived need of the oil, an addiction we have to let go.

That much, we owe to Mother Nature. Thank you ALL for listening and responding to Mother Nature's SOS call.
