Dr Robert Bea, a top scientist on Pres. Obama's Gulf team
has just confirmed our previous story below, stating BP drilled
an undisclosed second well, which
could even now be leaking unseen.
Dr. Bea confirmed
BP drilled the second well in Feb, 2010 --before it drilled
the well which exploded fatally in late April.
He said BP is blocking access to data by Federal scientists,
so he cannot verify whether this second well is leaking or
not.
His confirmation may have legal implications for senior
BP execs who sold tens of thousands of their shares in the
company after an accident at this second well.
An official BP well report available online says a single
well was 'sidetracked' and omits any
mention of a second well. PR for the firm has denied BP drilled
an earlier well.
However CBS '60 Minutes' broadcast an eyewitness
accident account identified by CBS as taking place at
a previous well.
So, are both wells leaking? Is there oil flowing between
the wells underground? And which well has the public
been shown?
The article below proves BP has displayed
position coordinates from TWO different locations where underwater
robot vehicles worked to fix a well, or wells.
Was Matt Simmons Right?
Deceased Matt Simmons thought the well explosion
had blasted the blowout preventer (BOP) off the well --leaving an
open hole leaking oil at the seabed.
But in the video above you see the rig burning in a compact, encircling
oil pool. The oil must be coming from the still-intact riser
pipe in the center of the rig.
Leaking methane gas from that pipe caused the initial explosion. The
pipe then fed a prolonged oil fire which melted and sank the rig.
If the BOP had blown off, oil would be spewing at the sea floor,
and even if it rose to the surface, it would be spread out over many
square miles.
But as we see, the oil just tightly encircles the burning rig --proving
it came from the intact oil riser pipe.
You think you've been watching video
feeds from BP undersea robot vehicles working on a blown well.
Wrong.
Due to BP's immaculate deception, you've actually been seeing
images from two different well locations approximately 300
feet apart!
One of these wells is MC252A; a second well is called
MC252B. One was where the Horizon rig was working before
it moved to drill another well --when it caught fire and sank.
The giveaway is the Lamber X,Y longitude and latitude coordinates
which undersea ROV's display in their video feeds.
These coordinates show
that ROV's have at different times over the last three months been
working at these two well locations close to each other. And
showing BOP's at each location.
BP's official
plan submitted to the US Minerals Management Service in Feb.,
2009 was to drill two wells: MC252A and MC252B.
On page 3, BP gives the Lamber X,Y coordinates in feet for:
Well MC252A at 1202799, 10431610;
Well MC252B at 1202514, 10431494.
(The last three digits in feet from these coordinates are the significant
figures.)
But as ROV's toiled away on the sea floor, online viewers could easily
see the East and North, Lamber X, Y coordinates which show their current
working position. (See the lighter white figures below.)
I've prepared a map showing a small sample of ROV positions and also
showing the location of BP's well A & B.
In May as the crisis unfolded, the ROV coordinates in a Youtube video
show it hovering above location MC252A.
But in June and July the ROV's are seen working around MC252B?!
And they are displaying images of a leaking BOP there!
So, which well blew up?
Now in August, we see the ROV's back again around the location of
BP well MC252A.
It's unclear from this small sample on what dates the BP focus moved
back and forth.
So, are both wells leaking?
Do both wells have BOP's?
Are the positioning data being massaged, and if so -why?
Which BOP have we been watching, and when?
Did BP drill the B well first or the A well first?
(More investigation required.
I will update the map based
on incoming info and tips.)
President Obama was informed of these problems on 13th February, 2010.
Over the following weeks, senior BP executives Tony Hayward, Byron
E Grote, Andy Iglis and Ian C Conn sold hundreds of thousands of their
BP shares. All of this was long before the explosion at the second
well.
One interpretation of that share dump is that the problem the Deepwater
Horizon had with the first well in February was very serious and
unresolved -even as the Horizon began drilling the fatal second
well.
It is also possible that wells A and B have oil flowing
from one to the other. After all, they are separated by only 300 feet.
As of 9th August, 2010, ROV footage shows increasing
seepage of hydrocarbons from the Mocando 252 block sea floor.
This comes despite a topside 'static kill' of the well by mud and
cement. Coast Guard response team Leader Thad Allen has
admitted that 40% of the cement injected to stop the oil escaped
into the surrounding sea floor sediments.
The video above is the best presentation of the issue of two
well locations at the spill site. Citizen sleuths have uncovered video
captures of ROV feeds seen on this chart.
You can clearly see ROVs have clustered at each of BP's A and
B wells.
In May and August, we see ROV's near the location of BP well MC252A.
In June and July the ROV's are near BP well
MC252B.
So, are both wells leaking? Do both wells have BOP's? Which BOP have
we been watching, and when? Stay tuned to this page....
This incredible video shows two different wells,
in two different locations, both spewing oil. And this
is not video posted on a shady web site but news footage
broadcast by the English-language Russian TV network RT.
They didn't realize what the video was showing, switching
back and forth between two different geographic locations
[while] reporting on May 30 that "top kill" had failed.
Watch the video, see still shots [of] the two different
sets of coordinates, and look at BP's own exploration
plan filed with the government showing the two distinct
locations matching the ROVs' displays.
I had been displaying
an article by geohazard consultant, BK Lim.
But I put some questions to him and got poor response.
Detail here.

This is an intriguing is a 3D map of

'Thomas Jefferson" which surveyed
the area. It seems to show two
seperate tall columns of oil.
