BP’s Efforts on the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico BP published another press release on Thursday, May 20, 2010 about their continued efforts to contain the oil spill that happened in the Gulf of Mexico. BP said that they were working with other experts and the government authorities on their subsea efforts. Their main focus has been to intervene via the BOP (blow out preventer) in order to stop the oil from flowing from the well, and to collect its flow from the points where there are leaks.
Their RITT (riser insertion tube tool) containment system has been able to collect 3000 barrels of oil and 14M standard cubic feet of gas a day at the end of the leaking riser. The team continues to collect and store the oil and flare the gas on Discoverer Enterprise, their drillship, 5000 feet above at the surface. Apart from these attempts, they are preparing for an operation called as “top kill” with which they hope to seal the well. As per their plans, they are hoping to begin this operation in a few days. For the surface spill, they have employed more than 930 vessels to collect the escaped oil and disperse it. With the help of these efforts, they have skimmed around 7.8 million gallons of oily liquid off the surface. In order to be able to accurately determine the rate at which oil is flowing from the riser, the US government has put together a team called as the Flow Rate Technical Team (FRTT), which is responsible for developing more precise estimates than the ones available from several parties at the moment. This is because the third parties’ estimates are often based on the dimensions that the riser had before the incident. However, during the incident, the riser structure has gotten altered, due to which those estimates aren’t accurately applicable. BP has agreed to fully support the FRTT by proving them with whatever information they need to be able to do their job well. BP has also launched a live feed on their website, www.bp.com, in order to help all readers see their efforts directly on the Internet. So far, this was available only to the government entities including the US Coastguard, the MMS (Minerals Management Service) etc. in addition to the scientists and engineers involved in the attempts to curb the spill.

What about the marshes? What about the 11 people that were killed. What about the people who’s lively hood depends on fishing. What about the wildlife and sealife. When will men learn from there mistakes. Stop drilling offshore. You arrorgant bastards.
