Scientists: Gulf Oil Well Shaft Continues To Leak

Breaking: Scientists at BP are becoming more concerned as a large leak
in the oil well shaft continues to grow.
The first 24 hours of the closed off capped well head had appeared to
go very well - when at approximately the 26th hour massive amounts of
oil and gas began erupting from the sea floor.
The leak is estimated to be approximately 25 to 30 feet to the north of
the well head.
Current estimates put the rate of the leak at approximately 1000 to
1500 barrels of oil per hour, spilling a further 25.000 barrels of
oil a day into the gulf.
Pressure had been steadily dropping at the well head indicating that a
leak was occurring somewhere along the well shaft deep below the well
head.
It took 24 hours for this leaking oil and gas to work its way up to the
seabed surface.
The BP scientists continue to monitor the leak and have been hoping
that the leak would eventually close up and seal itself off.
But unfortunately they have had to accept the fact the the leak has
been continually getting larger as the oil and gas carve a new passage
way up and through the sea bed.
The PB scientists admit there is no way to stop the leak by any other
means than re-opening the well head valves to release the pressure
build up.
They hope to have the new oil capture head cap or top hat in place
before they reopen all the valves to allow the oil to once again flow
up to the surface through the new high capacity well cap and capture
line. where the oil and gas will be separated, the gas burnt off and
the oil pumped into waiting oil tankers.
Three oil capture tankers are on stand by to receive the oil once the
valves are reopened and the top hat oil capture devise is in place.
The Scientists continue to monitor the leak, but continue to be tight
lipped on the seriousness of the situation, taking a wait and see
attitude hoping things will get better.
If you look in the background of the current live video feed from the
Skandi Neptune under the Gulf you can see the oil and gas spewing up
out of the seabed and up to the surface, It is a vast cloud of murky
sand,debris and oil and gas shooting up from underneath.
