B.P. SHOW US THE MUDLOGS! By geologist, Chris Landau.

What are you hiding? Why are you hiding them? It is now too late.

Senator Bill Nelson of Florida is telling us that the oil is gushing up around the casing. The casing has failed. There are multiple layers of oil and gas, probably 50 in this well. If you could seal the bottom layer, in this well, the casing and cement has been blown out. You cannot seal the other 49 layers of oil and gas above this layer. Your cap is a failure that can not be closed. The more you close it, the more the oil and gas will come through the sea floor. You will never be able to shut this gushing well down. The best you can do is relieve the oil and gas pressure from this region.

You need to take the oil and gas pressure out of this area. Drill eight wells around this blowout well, positioned 1000 to 1500 feet apart.

2(two) new directional wells being drilled into this well, theoretically to be completed by August 2010, will not work to solve this Transocean-Halliburton-BP blowout well and will create a larger uncontrolled blowout disaster.

Reasons for the mudlogs

1) A mudlog is a schematic cross sectional drawing of the lithology (rock type) of the well that has been bored. Without looking at the mudlogs and e-logs, we are all navigating blind. They are the forensic tool that you use to discover what happened. The mudlog is your map and your compass and your guiding star.

2) How many oil and gas horizons were there in this well? There was certainly more than one. The mudlog will list the gas and oil horizons. Were there 10, 30 or 50? Which of these many horizons are we trying to seal? Are the proposed directional wells above some oil and gas horizons and below others? Why is this choice being made? Regardless, the directional wells that are being drilled, can not seal an open well or blown out well or blown out formation. Back pressure is required for drilling mud to stay in the well to keep the oil out to allow the cement to set. We need a quiet zone for the cement to set, not a "roaring river" of oil and gas. Whether you inject that cement from the top of the well or the bottom of the well, you have not changed a thing. The pressure in the well is the same everywhere. Directional wells will not work. You only create more holes with less back pressure to keep out the oil and gas. The drilling mud escapes. The cement escapes. Only new wells that do not intersect this blowout well will help drain the gas and oil pressure from this region. It is too late for this well. It can not be sealed.

3) It is a dangerous game drilling into high pressure oil and gas zones because you risk having a blowout if your mud weight is not heavy enough. If you weight up your mud with barium sulfate to a very high level, you risk BLOWING OUT THE FORMATION. What does that mean? It means you crack the rock deep underground and as the mudweight is now denser than the rock it escapes into the rock in the pore spaces and the fractures. The well empties of mud. If you have not hit high pressure oil or gas at this stage, you are lucky. If you have, the oil and gas comes flying up the well and you have a blowout, because you have no mud in the well to suppress the oil and gas. You shut down the well with the blowout preventer. If you do not have a blowout preventer, you are in trouble as we have all seen and you can only hope that the oil and gas pressure will naturally fall off with time, otherwise you have to try and put a newblowout preventerin place with oil and gas coming out as you work.

4) More directional wells into the blowout well will create more holes in the casing and production pipe for the oil and gas to leak out of, by drilling more rough boreholes into this well. More cement and mud from more points is not going to help. You are just
creating more holes and you will not be able to see whether your seal is working at three miles down inside the rock at these juncture points.

BP, publish the mudlogs and e-logs so that we can study the forensic evidence.
You need to drill 8 new wells 1000 to 1500 feet apart around this existing
well to relieve the oil and gas pressure out of this region.
BP, you are wasting time with a directional well solution forAugust 2010
that can not work. It is designed for failure. It is a waste of time and too late for that solution.

5) The drilling cap and pipes that are now collecting 15000 barrels of oil a day could be blown off if you push more drilling mud into this well when the directional wells intersect in August 2010.

6) You will have to weight up the mud significantly and you risk either, blowing off the cap or blowing out the formation to a greater degree than it is already blown out.

7) As I have already stated directional wells will not work if you have leaks though the cap at the top or leaks through the formation and cement along the well bore. You can not close the cap; the oil is gushing through the ocean floor. You do not need the directional wells. The directional wells will not help.

8) You will never seal this well. Even if you cap it, the oil is gushing up though the sea floor next to the casing and the Blow out Preventer. It will come up forever.

9) Drill 8 vertical relief wells that do not intersect with this blown out well to relieve the oil and gas pressure. Space them 1000 to 1500 feet apart.

10) Enough is enough, B.P. You have fed us too much B.S.

11) One last small point. Is this oil, old oil or new oil? Is it being renewed today? Have you dated the oil? Not the formation. Have you dated the oil? How quickly is it being regenerated? If it is being regenerated quickly, you can not seal this area ever. All that you can do is reduce the amount coming up through the sea floor. The Gulf of Mexico now has an oily problem forever. As your company does not have the intelligence to map out a solution, quit and hand responsibility over to people that do.

12) Publish the mudlogs. They are vital and are our maps to finding the solutions. We need to see how many layers of oil and gas there are in this well.

Authors Bio:

I was born in South Africa in 1958. I came to the USA with my wife and three daughters in 2003. We became US citizens in 2009 and 2010. My wife Susan is a Special Education English Teacher. She has a bachelor's degree in Micro anatomy and biochemistry. I have two daughters at university and one in the tech world. I am lucky to be surrounded by such talented women.

I am a vegetarian and enjoy growing trees, vegetables and plants from seed.

My interests lie in astronomy, meteorology, geology and biology.
In astronomy, I am interested in dimensions, the speed of electromagnetic radiation in different density conditions, redshift, magnetism associated with rings of planets and stars, black holes and contracting galaxies and the rotation of the universe.

In September 2010 I presented three new concepts on our Earth, our Sun and the planets and stars that surround us. The American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) published my ideas on October 4, 2010 on Planetary-Spin heat relationships, Jupiter-Saturn-Solar Tidal-Sunspot coupling and Planetary-Solar alternating magnetic fields. The paper can be found at the AIPG website at:

http://www.aipg.org/Events/2010 Annual Meeting/final papers.htm

In meteorology, my interests lie in long-range hourly weather forecasts through tidal and magnetic forces for both convectional and cyclonic rainfall.

In geology, my interests are in the inorganic origin of oil, gas and coal, under reducing conditions, through hydrogen sulfide and water acting on coal, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and calcareous formations. My chemical and thermodynamic equations to prove how this occurred have been published.
As a geologist, I delivered two peer reviewed presentations to prove the theory, one to the Association of Engineering and Environmental Geologists in 2008 (AEG).

These publications include methods of carbon capture that help generate new energy and make carbon dioxide a reusable resource. Understanding fracking by water is when hydrogen is added to carbon through the coal gas, Fischer Tropsch and Wurtz syntheses. Fracking is chemical Cracking and Fractional distillation in situ. It is making oil and gas by adding hydrogen to carbon. It is not hydraulic fracturing of rock.

My other interests are in the driving forces for continental drift, "magnetic rock vortices".

I enjoy growing my own fruit trees and vines and hope to be self-sufficient one day.
I hope that the world will one day all be vegetarians. I believe we can only truly respect ourselves and the other animals if we do not see them as a food source. No human being likes the thought of being eaten by animals. Animals should not be raised as a protein source.

I would like to see the oil, gas and coal being recycled daily, so no carbon dioxide or other pollutants are released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide can be reduced back to methane under reducing conditions.
Solar power should be stepped up in a huge way to create clean renewable energy for the world. Desalination of seawater by solar power is the long-term solution to our water needs and our food production. Education to limit global population growth is vital to have sustainable resources for the world and its animals.
I look forward to mutually beneficial relationships that exploit neither party.
