BP, others investigate new sheen in Gulf

Post by Egg » Thu Aug 18, 2011 1:34 pm

Groundhog Day!!!

Oil giant BP says it is investigating a new sheen in the Gulf of Mexico.

A catastrophic explosion at the energy giant’s Macondo well in the Gulf on April 2010 killed 11 men and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

BP did not make clear Thursday what the source of the new sheen was, but told The Associated Press in London it was not found near “any existing BP operations.” A sheen is a shiny coating that floats on the surface of the water, and could come from leaked or spilled oil.

London-based BP spokeswoman Sheila Williams said that “there is a lot of sheen in the Gulf of Mexico area” and that the substance did not necessarily come from a BP site or well.

It's the same sheen they didn't clean up in the first place. If there was anyone deserving of the death penalty, bp execs definitely fit the bill.

I've got some time off coming, you free? ;)

No doubt. That's my guess, although the article says that it's not from an existing spill.

I posted something about a huge spill in the North Atlantic. Honestly, we're just ruining everything and people are arguing over global warming. It makes no sense to me. Who cares?

The leak in the north atlantic was supposedly small, and has already been contained (again, supposedly).

Well, that's good.

I know that there were two in the same place and the first leaked plenty. Fuck it, it's only the ocean. HAHAHAHA!!!!!

These things happen all the time.

In my voice? Never. Noooooo.... keep smiling, brother.

Well, do that anyway. But humans are really just fucking walking viruses.

The leak was too close to Britian - they didn't want to pollute their beaches.

Given the way the old MMS worked, there are probably 'plugged' wells in the gulf that are leaking.

"I thought we plugged that one."
