Gulf Oil Spill Crisis, Active Hurricane Season Interaction & Industries Affected

Storm: Hurricane Outlook, Oil Spill A Possible Double Whammy For Gulf | www.therepublic.com
With the biggest oil spill ever, the Gulf of Mexico appears headed for a double whammy with the forecast of an "active to extremely active" hurricane season. There's been much speculation about what might happen should a hurricane pass through the massive oil slick. A hurricane could move oil through a storm surge and pushing oil-dispersant toxic 'aerosol' well inland with flooding rains. What industries could be eventually impacted? How DID the spill happen in the first place?

Unlocking Grand Bay's deep treasures: gulf shelf potential at 17,000-28,000 ft | www.ogj.com
A recent Oil and Gas Journal article (April 12, 2010) discusses Grand Bay field in the Mississippi Delta, as another example of a potential new discovery in deep shelf gulf. Ultra-deep shelf plays target reservoirs below the salt weld with sizes up to 1 Tcfe at over 20,000 ft. Interest in deep shelf plays in the Gulf of Mexico has been spurred by McMoRan's recent Davy Jones discovery. These deep prospects have shorter lead times to first production and lower development costs.

Relaxing Rules On Iceland Volcano Ash Clouds: Clearly Putting Money Over Safety
May 19, 2010
Britain Joins Ireland to Relax Rules on Ash Clouds | www.nytimes.com
Britain and Ireland have relaxed the rules governing the closure of their airspace due to volcanic ash. The "new zone" now allows airlines to fly through areas where ash density exceeds the maximum threshold agreed to by European governments last month. The volcano will likely continue to periodically steer its ash southeastward over Europe. No engine modifications have been made. Nothing has changed except the degree of safety has been lowered. Clearly, money (lost) is being put first.

The Senate hearings revealed lack of QC management by BP over their subcontractors Transocean and Halliburton. Everything went wrong that should have prevented the "kick" form the high pressure gas bubble leading to the rig explosion and resulting oil spill.

Oil spill In Gulf Of Mexico: In Maps And Graphics | news.bbc.co.uk
Much of Louisiana's coastline will see oil come ashore going forward as SE winds up to 30 mph will carry the slick in expanding amorphous circles. Seas of 5-6 feet will dramatically lower the efficiency of booms. The oil will very likely go along the SW Pass entrance to the Mississippi River and further west, south and east as winds switch direction and the oil amount will likely continue to increase in size.The impacts have only been one percent of the situation this is likely to become.
