have been reports from at least a month ago that the seabed has been
leaking oil... these are backed up by video evidence, but have not been
aknowledged by BP yet... all they are doing is ''Sending out ROVs to
specialise in scanning the seabed for leaks''
there have been no futher reports on what these have found, neither confirming or denying leaks
the
way it works if there is a leak is this means that the casing on the
underground well has been breached, and because of the geological make
up of the gulf sea floor, there are a few sedimentary layers that can
be easily breached by oil.
the seabed is 0 degrees centigrade,
which allow methane permafrost layers to stay crystalised under a few
of the sedimentary layers, but because oil coming from near the crust
is heated, it heats up these layers and makes them expand, which may be
fuelling the rumours that since the start, there seems to be a bubble
rising the seabed
the oil then leaks out through soft and porous rock.
IF
the well IS breached underground, it will show up on the cap tests
because after a certain point, they will gain no more pressure. That is
what happened, when they did the test, they managed to get to 700 PSI,
but after a few minutes, lost pressure.
this would confirm that there is a breach in the well.
IF
they fully capped the well when there is a breach, the pressures would
make the seabed unstable and could uproot the whole area.... taking the
cap with it... exposing a gaping hole and a leaky unstable seabed that
WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE to secure
