Dot Connecting: oil sickness/fracking/train wrecks

[Snowflower]

Courtesy of a friend who sent an email today:

Dot # 1. The Chani Project had a statement about an expected "illness" in oil that would make it unusable. "oil gets very big sicknes no use anymore after 15 may"

Dot#2. The number of train wrecks and explosions has increased and continues to accelerate. Many of them have involved the transport of oil from Bakken oil in North Dakota.

Dot#3. It seems that phosphates are entering the oil during the fracking process. Phosphates cause oxidation. Crude oil mixed with oxidation causes explosion.

Dot#4. Remembering the oil platform fires of late, is it possible that there is a process in getting the deep oil that works like fracking, is oxidating the oil and causing explosions?

Dot#5. All economic rosy pictures of the future are based on the energy to be obtained from fracked oil. What if fracking cannot be used due to explosion danger?

Reason for economy crash?
Chani was right?

methane hydrates

Hello Snowflower!

One thing to remember about the Gulf of Mexico oil (Macondo) disaster is that BP KNEW that Macondo Well had WAYYY more methane gas than wells BP considers "Safe".
I think it was as much as 4x or 8x as much methane/natural gas as a "normal/average" oil well. This means that BP wasted a lot more than oil -- on top of all the oil that spouted out of Macondo, there was probably some other "fossil fuels" escaping too -- volatile gases, methane clathrates, who knows?

Methane Hydrate Crystals Hamper Efforts to Contain BP Oil Spill
By Paul on Sunday, May 9, 2010 at 12:40 PM


Deep under water, these methane hydrate crystals form quite readily as can be seen from the phase diagram below. Recalling that the oil well currently spewing crude into the Gulf of Mexico is down around 5,000' (about 1.5 km) we see that this among many other marine environments permits the formation of this solid. In colder waters, you only need to go a few hundred feet to reach the point where methane hydrates can form.

Did Deepwater methane hydrates cause the BP Gulf explosion?
Strange and dangerous hydrocarbon offers no room for human error


The vast deepwater methane hydrate deposits of the Gulf of Mexico are an open secret in big energy circles. They represent the most tantalizing new frontier of unconventional energy — a potential source of hydrocarbon fuel thought to be twice as large as all the petroleum deposits ever known.

For the oil and gas industry, the substances are also known to be the primary hazard when drilling for deepwater oil.

BP pretty much wastes the superior fuel in favor of the oil. Can you believe that? It actually makes me feel sorta sick!

And there is a bacterium that eats oil,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa


Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium that can cause disease in animals, including humans. It is found in soil, water, skin flora, and most man-made environments throughout the world. It thrives not only in normal atmospheres, but also in hypoxic atmospheres, and has, thus, colonized many natural and artificial environments. It uses a wide range of organic material for food; in animals, the versatility enables the organism to infect damaged tissues or those with reduced immunity. The symptoms of such infections are generalized inflammation and sepsis. If such colonizations occur in critical body organs, such as the lungs, the urinary tract, and kidneys, the results can be fatal.[1] Because it thrives on moist surfaces, this bacterium is also found on and in medical equipment, including catheters, causing cross-infections in hospitals and clinics. It is implicated in hot-tub rash. It is also able to decompose hydrocarbons and has been used to break down tarballs and oil from oil spills.[2][3] On 29 April 2013, scientists in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, funded by NASA, reported that, during spaceflight inside the International Space Station, P. aeruginosa bacteria seem to adapt to the microgravity and the biofilms formed during spaceflight exhibited a column-and-canopy structure that has "not been observed on Earth".[4]
