Robots Cut The Well Pipe While Oil Continues to Flow

There was a new flow of oil today from BP’s oil well deep under the Gulf Of Mexico. This gulf oil spill has not stopped and so far has mixed thousands of gallons of oil into the gulf.

The hopes are the robot can shear off the damaged pipe head, so it is level and able to have a cap fitted to the top of it. Even this might not completely stop this bp oil gulf spill, but it should slow it.

To make matters worse, there is now a criminal investigation underway and the government is attempting to separate themselves from the oil company.

The cost of the clean up so far has topped 1 billion.

As the spill spreads, fouling sections of Louisiana’s marshes over the past two weeks, the oil was spreading toward the northeast on Tuesday. Tar balls and patches of reddish-brown “weathered” oil came ashore on Dauphin Island, Alabama, south of Mobile, and on Mississippi’s Petit Bois Island, off Pascagoula, authorities reported.

the deep water horizon oil rig company exploded on April 20th, 2010 and left 11 people dead or missing. The whole oil drilling rig sank two days later.

The biggest draw for sport fisherman in the area is the red snapper and as the season opened on May 31, fisherman were notified of the large, expanded area of closures due to the spill.

The BP, rig owner Transocean Ltd, still feels their goals and the governments are fully aligned, we all just want to get this oil flow stopped.
