BP PLC has concluded that its “top-kill” attempt last week to seal its broken well in the Gulf of Mexico may have failed due to a malfunctioning disk inside the well about 1,000 feet below the ocean floor

Oil industry expert Rob Cavner believes that the casing might be damaged beneath the sea floor, noting: The real doomsday scenario here… is if that casing gives up, and it does come through the other strings of pipe. Remember, it is concentric pipe that holds this well together. If it comes into the formation, basically, you‘ve got uncontrolled [oil] flow to the sea floor. And that is the doomsday scenario. Cavner also said BP must “keep the well flowing to minimize oil and gas going out into the formation on the side”…

Thermal cracking underground is known to start at the 6-700 degree range. Using the information below in my posts about sub-surface salt structuring in the Sigsbee, and, how close they are to underground lava flows by the depth of the Horizon borehole depth. ( Horizon was drilled to a depth of 35,050′. That’s 6.6382575 miles. The Sigsbee’s depth in the G.o.M. is disputed and estimates range between 3,750 and 4,384 metres {12,300 and 14,383 ft}. ), it is obvious that they are encountering uncontrollable methane production in the sub-strata, due to natural pyrolysis and the resulting production of gas.

Did not realize they were that deep below the sea bed.

1. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) emitted at a rate of 1,200 parts per billion(ppb) into the water and the air afterwards, once it surfaces. Levels considered “safe” for humans round 5-10 ppb;

2. Benzene (C6H6) emitted at a rate of 3,000 ppb. Human “safe” levels are said to be around 0-4 ppb

3. Methylene Chloride or dichloromethane CH2Cl2, emitted at a rate of 3,400 ppb. Human tolerance is established to levels below 61 ppb.

Other gases cited during the interview as being emitted from the spill include vanadium, which according to our research is, in its pure form, a greyish silvery, soft and ductile metal used as an alloy in the manufacturing of cars. According to the Mineral Information Institute, “it is found in magnetite (iron oxide) deposits that are also very rich in the element titanium. It is also found in bauxite (aluminum ore), rocks with high concentrations of phosphorous-containing minerals, and sandstones that have high uranium content.” It has 2 isotopes that occur naturally. One of the isotopes is stable and one is radioactive.

I'm sorry, posting from some no-name crack pot blog is bad enough, but posting the COMMENTS in a crack pot no name blog is over the top.

I'm not sure that there is a single factual, true thing in any of that that you quoted. The well wasn't anywhere near 35K feet, wasn't anywhere near 700 degrees, wasn't anywhere near lava flows (where in the hell did that come from??), and throwing up some numbers of how the environment next to an oil leak at 5000 foot depth might not be conducive to human life...well, that's just silly.
