But the pressure driving that much oil out and blowing off everything they're tried to cap it must be awesome.<br /><br />I think a lot of what the engineers think they know is flawed because they still hold to a flawed concept of what makes petroleum. I do not think it is femented dinosuars. Other theories are that somehow methane gas coming from far, far below the Earth's crust - deep in the mantle of even deeper? - is percolating upward through whatever materials comprise the mantle and somehow merges as crude oil under great pressure. The weight of hundreds of miles of rock above it makes the water pressure of the Pacific's Mariana Trench (35+ thousand feet) look puny in comparison.<br /><br />Cookie, Subvet - anything from the submariners? You guys spent a lot more time under pressure than I did. And it is all about equalizing pressure that allows us to survive at such depths.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-26896395588263218042010-06-19T23:24:35.161-04:002010-06-19T23:24:35.161-04:00What I would like to know is how deep into the ear...What I would like to know is how deep into the earth they drilled.

Oh noooo, that would bad because the caribou mating habits might be effected. Can't have that, can we? <br /><br />One of the failings in our school system is to teach that "politician" and "idiot" are synonyms.Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.com
