Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
I am not reviving this discussion - I'm just posting this link because some folks may find it informative. The SPE is an academic group that is neutral on the BP spill, but it is an industry-based group that is not neutral on continued drilling operations generally. http://www.spe.org/notes/2010/07/...

Re: World Cup Discussion
I love sports in general - there is a raw competition where the score, and not some decision by brother-in-law, determines who wins. The competitors have real risk, because when you lose you are judged objectively "worse" rather than just getting to say something like "they didn't lik...

This is what happens when you play "NR 40 NB NWS" at Wimbledon.

I know as much about tennis as I do football/soccer. However, I'm pretty sure 59-59 and still going at 10 hours is just flippin' crazy.

Re: World Cup Discussion
Is that what those things were? I thought they were Uber-Kazoos.

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
Macabee, We're talking so far past each other, it's difficult to continue the conversation in a reasonable manner. E.g. - offshore oil becomes more significant if we reduce consumption as a mathematical fact not as a subjective opinion; if we cut consumption 50%, then a 120-day supply becomes a 240-...

Re: World Cup...getting closer. 7 Days Away!
I know nothing about (soccer/football), but that looked like the worst goal I've ever seen. I bet he doesn't bobble something like that 1 time in 1,000.

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
80,000 barrels, not gallons. Those terms get bandied about loosely, I urge you to make sure you are looking at the right one. My numbers are correct - I was going from the 100,000 gallons per day from the well which has been thrown around in the news (and is actually 2380 bopd), and the 400,000,000 ...

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
Macabee, We're only looking for 1% of 400,000,000 gallons per day, which is our daily gasoline usage (which is the only thing your suggested regulation affects). Which 40 of these wells would in fact produce. No need to get insulting. This well won't contain 3 billion barrels, that would be the form...

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
Macabee, Your numbers are way off. For example, this well is about 2,000 bopd (when we send it to the refinery instead of the beach), so it would take only about 40 wells this size to achieve your estimate of our total deepwater capacity. Worldwide, it is believed that deepwater oil may represent ab...

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up
I'm tired of all the blowhards running to the microphones on this one. Put everyone involved to the full test of the process, but only the process. That's why we have the process, so we don't just make some sh*t up everytime something bad happens. It's pathetic when the President says things like he...
