BP's Gulf Disaster & Reckless BP Management

[abduLMaria]

What comes out in interviews with oil company workers & experienced oil geologists like Matt Simmons is that BP has a reckless culture that contributed directly to the mega-disaster currently unfolding in the Gulf.

Specifically, what the workers have to say is that they were pressured to "hurry up".  Supersize rigs like Deepwater Horizon cost $500K+ a day when they're deployed in the field.  An extra 2 weeks of drill prep therefore costs BP an extra $3.5 million a week.

To which most of us would say, "So what ?  DO IT RIGHT."

First I will link to some information sources about Deepwater Horizon; below I have listed BP's management.


"BP Pressured Rig Worker to Hurry Before Disaster"

" May 28 (Bloomberg) -- The highest-ranking crew member to perish aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig warned his family that BP Plc was pressuring him to sacrifice safety for the sake of time and money, his father said.

Jason Anderson, one of 11 rig workers presumed dead after an April 20 explosion and fire sank the Deepwater Horizon and triggered the worst oil spill in U.S. history, told relatives in February and March that BP was urging him to accelerate work on the Macondo well off the Louisiana coast, said his father, Billy Anderson.

On previous wells drilled with the same rig, Jason Anderson, a 35-year-old employee of vessel owner Transocean Ltd., had been able to convince BP representatives to eschew shortcuts that he believed would compromise safety, his father said. But in the eight weeks preceding the disaster, BP stepped up the pressure and overruled safety objections, Billy Anderson, 66, said.

"My Jason told me he had argued BP down a few times on previous wells when they wanted him to speed things up and make changes that were unsafe," Billy Anderson said yesterday in an interview at his home near Blessing, Texas, about 110 miles southwest of Houston. "But the last two times he was home he said they were putting more and more pressure on him and he was worried."


Interviews with Matt Simmons, one of the most knowledgeable geologists & oil industry insiders in the world.

In these 2 Youtube's, and in the webcast at Financial Sense, Simmons talks about the oil disaster, and compares BP's reckless culture to a much more careful culture at Petrobras.  Petrobras is developing the deepwater field near Brazil.

I am having trouble answering the question, Who owns BP ?  To Whom Does BP Owe Their Debt ?

I suspect the answer will shed some light on the reckless culture that preceded the mega-disaster unfolding in the Gulf.

I have a hunch that Jew-Greed played a direct role in the disaster, but the management list doesn't shed very much light on the subject.

I believe the disaster was caused by a bomb to make money off shorting instruments in the gulf. I think another reason was to upset the goy, I am from Australia and I have spoken to two middle aged women about it and they are totally dismayed about it, one said she could not sleep one night worrying about it. So I believe it was also done out of spite, it is like pouring grass poison all over the front lawn of someone's house. The jews don't care about the environment, the goy do because they have been brainwashed to care excessively about it. I used to be an environmentalist, used to worry about the world, used to hate mankind because I believed the way the propaganda was spewed that man is innately damaging to the earth and needs to go. Well now I believe it is not that man is innately bad stewards of the earth, it is that the jews cause all these problems, they forced us to live this way and all problems can be blamed on the Jews and the jewish system.

I agree with blue jelly. This isn't wreckless, it's part of unconventional warfare. IT's possible the Israeli's pulled everything off with out the BP exec's even knowing. They could have torpedo'd things from the get-go and with their people in position in the US and Britain handled it from there. They can't wage open war on the US so it's all subterfuge. This gulf incident damages our access to massive food resources in the gulf. It;s also going to drive up oil prices even though we're not short on oil. It'll just be another excuse for the raping they give us this summer just like 3 summers ago. Fuck em.
