Thread: Cleaning oil-soaked wetlands may be impossible

Yeah this is pretty infuriating. A friend of mine was preaching about how we need to get away from oil last night, but really oil hasn't been in widespread use all that long so it's not that unreasonable that we're still using it. It just sucks that we make horrific mistakes like this.

Nah, I am good. Glad to get paiddddddddddddddd

You speak about an industry like you know the procedures we do and create to stay as safe as possible. You are ignorant. You are mad son. You mad.

the media is only here to keep the uneducated masses happy

They just need wait for a hurricane, mother nature will clean it up.

Pre-spill precautions

In February 2009, BP filed a 52-page exploration and environmental impact plan for the Macondo well with the Minerals Management Service, an arm of the U.S. Interior Department that oversees offshore drilling. The plan stated that it was "unlikely that an accidental surface or subsurface oil spill would occur from the proposed activities" and that "due to the distance to shore (48 miles (77 km)) and the response capabilities that would be implemented, no significant adverse impacts are expected".[51]
After concluding that a massive oil spill was unlikely, the Interior Department exempted BP's Gulf of Mexico drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last year. The decision by the department's Minerals Management Service to give BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009

Because of our good runs, since I am not completing wells, I hope our portion of the industry remains the same. We are already hammered enough when we develop a new field.

only good thing about it is that wetlands are natural water cleansers so nature should be able to handle it there, animals will die but it won't be like that forever

He knows about drilling on land. The oil price caused such a slow down that most operations on land were out for quite some time causing a shot down of a lot of supply companies for on land stuff.

Then again, he got his degree in Petroleum Geo-physics.
