Golfo do México – NEMESIS

Olá caríssimos!

 

Há dois meses não atualizava o Blog, esperando a confirmação de uma suspeita minha, e de mais alguns colegas ao redor da internet, de que o desastre do Golfo do México estava sendo encoberto por uma grande nuvem de desinformação.

Enfim o fato volta à notícia.

Minha suspeita era de que o poço possuía, e ainda possui, conexões com as falhas geológicas da região, o que pode fazer com que o óleo seja conduzido por outras rachaduras da crosta, aparecendo e sendo encontrado em áreas que estão supostamente isoladas da área emprestada pela BP.

Aparentemente a suspeita pode se confirmar esta semana.

Segue o Artigo do Huffington Post:

Óleo observado de helicóptero em Nova Orleans

The Coast Guard is investigating reports of a potentially large oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico not far from the Deepwater Horizon site. According to a knowledgeable source, the slick was sighted by a helicopter pilot on Friday and is about 100 miles long. A fishing boat captain said he went through the slick yesterday and it was strong enough to make his eyes burn.

According to the Times Picayune, the Coast Guard has confirmed they are investigating a potentially large 100 mile slick about 30 miles offshore. They are going to a site near the Matterhorn well site about 20 miles north of the BP Deepwater Horizon site, according to the paper. The Matterhorn field includes includes a deepwater drilling platform owned by W&T Technology. It was acquired last year from TotalFinaElf E&P.

Independent pilots are attempting to reach the slick today. Bonnie Schumaker with Wings of Carereported she saw a slick two days ago and is attempting to reach the site.

E Este do New Orleans Net:

The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating reports of a potentially massive oil sheen about 20 miles north of the site of last April’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion.

A helicopter crew and pollution investigators have been dispatched to Main Pass Block 41 in response to two calls to the National Response Center, the federal point of contact for reporting oil and chemical spills, said Paul Barnard, an operations controller for Coast Guard Sector New Orleans.

The first caller, around 11 a.m., described a sheen of about a half-mile long and a half-mile wide, he said.

About two hours later, another caller reported a much larger sheen — about 100 miles long — originating in the same area and spreading west to Cocodrie on Terrebonne Bay, Barnard said.

“We haven’t been able to verify that, and it would be very unlikely for an individual to be able to observe a 100-mile long sheen,” he said, adding inspection teams were en route around 3 p.m. to the site.

Sem mais.

Estou pesquisando sobre a radiação de Fukushima e modelos de dispersão atmosférica para mantê-los informados.

Mas, já adianto que aos interessados, procurem por “PMOX fuel”.
