BP Oil Volume Estimates Hide Cemari Gulf of Mexico Hide deliberately Truth Leaks

Public United States (U.S.) highlight the increasingly sharp British Petroleum (BP). Especially after a secret document which shows the internal engineering of BP over the oil leak was revealed to the public last Sunday (20 / 6).

Meanwhile, the London Stock Exchange (LSE), BP claimed to have issued a cost of EUR 2 billion (around Rp 18 trillion) to overcome the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico's environment.

In a secret document that was finally revealed to the public, it is known that BP deliberately concealing the truth. When the first U.S. experts estimate the volume of oil that potentially pollute the Gulf of Mexico, said BP knew the information was wrong. However, oil company headquartered in London that left him alone. Therefore, their estimated 20-fold greater than the initial forecast of U.S. experts.

"At the beginning of the emergence of this tragedy, they say that the volume of crude oil (which is sprayed from the wells in the Deepwater Horizon platform) is only about a thousand barrels (per day). Then, they were revised to five thousand barrels. Now they're back to revise the report and called the number 10 thousand barrels, "said Ed Markey, a senior politician in the U.S. Congress, in the program" Meet the Press "on NBC television stations that aired Sunday night local time.

On that occasion, Markey called the BP as a liar. "If not a liar, meaning they do not the company that is competent," his critique as reported Agence France-Presse quoted yesterday (21 / 6). Associated with these estimates, the government of President Barack Obama believes that the volume of oil that erupted from BP's wells each day more than 30,000 barrels. In fact, it was likely the volume reached 65 000 barrels per day.

However, BP is strongly denied a report on engineering data. "Clearly they were wrong to translate our statements about the initial estimate," said BP spokesman Robert Wine. According to him, which they note the estimated time was part of a report on the worst-case scenario oil spill. Currently, Said Wine, the situation is still far from the worst-case prediction of BP. Therefore, the estimates are 20 times more than the initial estimate of the experts are not valid.

"The worst scenario would only arise if the restrictions which we apply one and if the explosion prevention tool (blowout Preventer) we separated from the wells. Well, if two things happen, the volume of oil spill could reach 100,000 barrels per day," said Wine . He can guarantee, the company has imposed a ban on properly. Sophisticated equipment which functions to prevent the explosion was still attached to the oil wells Deepwater Horizon.

However, Tyrone Benton has interesting information about the blowout Preventer. According to the man who used to work on the bridge Deepwater Horizon, BP intentional faux pas few weeks before the explosion happened. "Blowout Preventer installed in the oil wells were damaged. It should, such appliance repair company and stop the drilling activities. But, they do not do that. They let the damaged and transferred its functions to a new tool," he explained.

BP yesterday responded to the information submitted Benton in an interview with the BBC. They do not deny it has done nonprosedural practices. But, according to BP, which damaged equipment is not their responsibility.

Simultaneously, BP CEO Tony Hayward who got frustrated in a meeting with Congress last week, is reported to run away from responsibility. Yesterday, complete with photographs, U.S. media reported that the man is 53 years old watching a yacht race on the Isle of Wight with his son. "As said Tony Hayward, now her life is back to normal," White House Chief of Staff said sarcastically Rahm Emanuel as quoted by the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, BP reported that so far, they have to pay EUR 2 billion (around Rp 18 trillion) to overcome the environmental crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
