OT – Why can’t they stop the oil leak?

[briansd1]

Yes, Aecetia, here we go again.

One inspector even conducted offshore oil platform inspections while negotiating for a job with the platform’s owner. The activities outlined in a report released today by the Interior Department’s inspector General occurred between 2000 and 2008, and were not directly related to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. But Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the abuses are yet another reason to clean house at the Minerals Management Service.

The I.G.’s investigation was prompted by an anonymous letter in 2008 sent to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Orleans. The MMS has had other well-known cases of misconduct, most notably in its Denver office where another I.G. report outlined cases of MMS officials using drugs and having sexual relationships with oil industry personnel.

Specifically, this was the sublink I really liked:

Really gives a more detailed insight into what they’re trying to do down there.

Of course, context for technical solutions is everything. Don’t know the geological differences.

Back in the day they actually considered using a nuclear explosion to speed construction of the 405 freeway through the Sepulveda pass in Los Angeles.

Can’t see the logic using any explosives much less an nuke to ‘cave’ in this well. If anything it would cause millions of small rock fractures all of which could seep oil and gas resulting in a epic disaster.
