No end in sight for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, Dahr Jamail, September 13, 2011:
The possibility that brings the greatest concern is that oil is leaking from the reservoir straight out of the ground. This situation could be impossible to stop, because the vent would increase in size over time due to the highly pressurised reservoir.
"We can tell you that we recently sent a remote operated submarine down to inspect the Macondo well cap and the relief well cap [...] Both are intact and show no evidence of any oil leak. So no oil is leaking from the Macondo well." -BP spokesman
"It very well could be from natural seeps [...] What we are saying for sure is that it is not from our well head." -BP spokesman
Dr Ira Leifer, a University of California scientist who is an expert on natural hydrocarbon oil and gas emissions from the seabed:
- "From what I've seen, this new oil and sheen definitely seemed larger than typical natural seepages found in the Gulf of Mexico."
- "Because of the size and its location, there is a greater concern that should require a larger public investigation."
- "I see these new observations (of the seep) as the canary in the coal mine that indicates something could be changing at the seabed and should not be ignored and hope it goes away."
- "It could be a persistent, significant, continuous oil spill again, and that would require BP to go back and re-drill, and block off the pipeline even deeper than they already did, or else they would be liable for whatever the emissions are, forever, because it's not going to stop for a very long time."
- "There is natural migration in the area around Macondo, and one of the sites we've studied is MC118, about 18 km away [...] The concern is not that human activities caused a fault, but by creating pathways outside the (well) casing, they are allowing oil to travel along the well pipe then migrate horizontally until it intersects an existing vertical fault migration pathway, then reach the sea bed."
- "Definitely seems larger than typical natural seepages found in the Gulf of Mexico; both because of that and its location, there is a greater concern that should require a larger public investigation."
"I don't understand why we're seeing so much more oil out there right now than we’ve seen in the past [...] We need to dig in and investigate and see what is going on." -Dr. Ian MacDonald, a professor of biological oceanography at Florida State University, expert at locating natural oil releases on the ocean surface

Ah!
I am glad they decided to publish this.
I found it and submitted but did not see it and ass u med that the source would not 'work'.
I know, from US tv, Russia today, et. al. that all sources have 'agendas'.. however.. these days we have to get news from where ever we can.
MSM like CNN, MSNBC FAUX news, etc. are paid for by political or commerical interests.
Glad to see this article published here. I found it quite indebth and important !
Good Work ADMIN ! They would love so 'sweep this issue under the rug' as we know.

This is what Matt Simmons was talking about before they bumped him off.
Was the worse case scenario that was most feared, a continuous flow of oil from the seabed ruining/decimating the oceans and life above above !
I feel http://amadabrown.dtiblog.com
so sad to see this news again.hope it gonna be all http://blog.livedoor.jp/ianhihi/
right.
What can they possibly do now? Think they'll get started on something, even if it's wrong.
Peace out!
It's been flowing all this time..
Repairing the earths crust, that keeps things separated and from doing great harm I believe this is above our pay scale !
They poked a hole where it shouldn't have been done, the earth blood flowed for all to see, we don't have the tools or know how to fix Humpty Dumpty again just like the Genii is out of the bottle in Japan, All the Kings horse's and all the Kings men, couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again !
I will right away grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates.All the Kings horse’s and all the Kings men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again !
It is OBVIOUS now that this web site has been taken over and or compromised.Very disapointed once this site flurished with real news now alls ever posted is token B/S article now and again,how shameful.

I smelled that sickening sweet smell again 2 x last week coming in with the NW wind. My porch faces the gulf and were So of Clearwater. I suspect corexit. Ive only smelled this smell since the oil disaster.
When i notice this unique odor i check this site and sure enough more oil was seen.
Our wonderful earth that God gave man as a home is being ruined for profit.
Those b@.stards need to be thrown under the prisons for their crimes, along with Bush, & Cheney. Hell throw all & any found to be in on the oil gusher in the gulf of Mexico. I don't care what anyone says.. there's enough evidence (I've seen) to put their asses away for letting that explosion happen. Down with the corrupt government in the usa
