Oil leaves to the surface freely creating a crude reservoir and covers an area a thousand 35 square kilometers
México. – An overfly detected a black tide of oil of 30 for 30 kilometers that emanates from the platform semi-submersible Deepwater Horizon, the one which was sunk on Thursday past (April 22, 10), two days after an explosion that let 11 working disappeared. The oil leaves to the surface freely creating a crude reservoir and was covering an area of thousand 35 square kilometers, informed officials on Sunday.The British oil giant BP, that yields the platform, initially had said that had not you apportioned of oil, but a vessel robot detected on Saturday two holes in the connector that links the mouth of the well with the sunk platform. The spokesman of BP Ron Rybarczyk estimated that spillage them, to some thousand 500 meters of depth, they are releasing thousand barrels of oil per day in the ocean. Our oil industry in high sea unskilledA plane of the Coast Guard had located leakage it on Saturday to some 64 kilometers of the Louisiana coast, household of great variety of aquatic fowl and of a rich wild life. The Corporative commissioned with the oil facilities in open sea BP asserts that considers two options to seal you apportion them. The first is to appeal to a hydraulic device, call preventive leaks valve, that it is installed in the head of the well as part of the existing equipment of the platform, to seal the flight of oil.A plan B in the long run would be installed an auxiliary well, that would involve to puncture a new hole about hurt well, to intercept the damaged pipeline and to pump cement or mud until this remain sealed. The barge exploded when was loading flammable in the terminal LBC in Sunshine, Louisiana, and informed officials. Two persons resulted injuries, though is done not know their gravity. The marine currents are carrying the great stain of oil to the States coasts. Creating an unprecedented ecological devastation in the environmental history of the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico is prepared to demand to the commissioned petroleum with the platform Deepwater Horizon, the oil giant British Petroleum. They haven’t been detected ransacked wellsActually nobody has been able to demonstrate that they exist deposits shared throughout the maritime frontier, therefore the supposed urgency of negotiating a treaty with The States on trans-border deposits only favors the cause of who wish a rapid and prompt opening of oil industry "waters up". Member of the Engineering Institute - UNAM and advising of the Independent Council of Mexican Oils (PEMEX). Warns that the deposits of the American side Great White and Trident still continue in unknown if have continuity in the Mexican side. The first is in development and the second in waiting, since was not proven the economic feasibility. Other well, the Hammer Head, was demonstrated that it is dry. Of Mexican side, Magnanimo and Alaminos I are two leases awaiting are punctured by PEMEX.Furthermore it has not been detected in Mexico some deposit that it will be ransacked from the other side of the frontier using diverted wells (horizontal). "To Puncture a well that crosses the frontier without authorization is an international offense and a project of very high risk that neither Shell, nor Chevron, neither British Petroleum nor no other company specialized in the offshore ultra deep, would be prepared to undertake", he commented. It is a mistake to consider the negotiation of the trans-border as a career against the time, neither in the ancient hole of dona, nor in the area of Perdido, and less in the rest of the frontiers. The supposed urgency favors the cause of those which wish a rapid and prompt opening of oil industry "waters up" only. Emphasized that it is necessary to safeguard the sovereignty about the bordering natural resources to the frontiers, through clear rules of development.Climatic changeDuring May and June will be presented highest temperatures of the year due to the presence of the phenomenon El Niño, what also would cause a greater number of forest fires. It has been informing that the highest temperatures will be presented in the north and the southwest of the national territory and "will provoke droughts and dangerous waves of heat". But the warmest season is by coming. (La Jornada, economia, p. 28, April 26, 2010)
