Those gages measure system hydraulic pressures and relate to equipment operation. The sensitive data is all transmitted to monitoring stations beyond our view, so that we must rely on the information provided.Heading Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790783659594652657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-52352112582120801892010-07-20T10:12:22.795-05:002010-07-20T10:12:22.795-05:00Paragraph two says there is no evidence of oil lea...Paragraph two says there is no evidence of oil leaking. Paragraph nine elaborates upon the oil leaks. BP said they "tested" the oil at the surface leaks away from the well head and said it was not related to the oil spill. Since they own the ROV's, there is high confidence you can't prove that they are lying.<br /><br />BP has said the pressure "has rise to over 6810 psi and is rising at about 1 psi per hour." Days ago they showed the pressure gauge they were using. It was too coarse to indicate 6,810. They haven't shown the gauge since then.<br /><br />For that matter, they aren't showing the leaks to the public anymore.<br /><br />The surface oil leak could be from a leak in the pipe at least three miles down where the pipe was eroded by the rock and sand flowing by. That would be good. <br /><br />The leak could come from where the crushed rock had fallen away from the pipes and concrete part way up from the anticline. This would happen as the heavy flow up the pipe carried away the rock & sand around the mouth of the pipe. Crushed rock from drilling would have fallen into this open space. That would be bad.Timuchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668283499276651171noreply@blogger.com
