May 26 (Bloomberg) — Bloomberg’s Eric Coleman reports on BP Plc’s efforts to stem the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil began flowing into the Gulf after an April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which London-based BP leased from Transocean Ltd. BP shares have dropped 25 percent since then.

www.SpillFighters.com – The Texas Land Office and Texas Water Commission successfully used ‘oil eating’ microbes to clean up large oil spills in just weeks. Microbes hunt down and eat the toxic oil and leave only a biodegradable waste that is non-toxic to humans and marine life. Marshland and beaches were pristine again in just weeks—not years like the Exxon Valdez spill. This is the answer to save the seafood industry and all the precious creatures we are about to kill.

Three days after BP said its latest attempt to stop oil gushing out into the Gulf of Mexico had failed, the company is turning to another risky procedure. BP plans to use robot submarines to cut away the riser pipe and place a containment valve over the blowout preventer. However, it’s likely to temporarily cause 20 per cent more oil (some 100000 gallons) to add to the spill daily.

Engineers are carring out so-called ‘top kill’ operation which is set to block a breached oil well with mud, which will eventually be topped with cement. The chances of the procedure working, are estimated at 60 to 70 per cent. Video Rating: 0 / 5
