[Louisiana's Office of Conservation] also issued warnings to Chevron Pipeline Co. and Occidental Chemical Co. that the companies might have to close their salt caverns and empty them of the gas stored there.
Chevron has begun doing just that, according to spokesman Gareth Johnstone. Chevron has no reason to believe that its facility, the Bridgeline NS1 storage cavern, is threatened, and there is no indication gas is leaking from the facility, Johnstone said. But Chevron is emptying the cavern as a precaution to ensure everything possible is done to protect the public.
Chevron is not saying how much gas is involved or which customers have been affected, Johnstone said.
However, Reuters has reported [see below] that Chevron may be dumping 4 billion to 5 billion cubic feet of natural gas on the market. The added gas has pushed September and October futures prices lower but could mean higher prices this winter when demand is higher.

Natural gas traders said Chevron’s move to purge the gas could push an additional 4 billion to 5 billion cubic feet of gas on the market.

“Chevron Pipeline Co has elected to take the step of drawing down the NS1 cavern as a precaution to ensure that we are doing everything possible to protect public safety and the environment,” said Gareth Johnstone, a Chevron spokesman.
[...]
There is no indication that gas is leaking from the facility, Johnstone said, adding there was no evidence that the integrity of the cavern was at risk.
[...]
Chevron has three natural gas salt dome storage caverns in the area with a total capacity to hold 12.7 billion cubic feet of gas, according to the company website.
[...]
“They are worried about the cavern integrity and the slurry breaching the salt dome that they have,” said Genscape senior natural gas analyst Andy Krebs.

cheap gas for japan?? come on noda make them an offer they cant refuse…
have they placed the more than one underground cavern in a single salt dome? or is it the connection at the bottom? this is getting really messy and i hope no one gets hurt…
did a fracking procedure upset the salt dome?
where has the radioactive slurry and oil gone that caused the sinkhole..?

Lots of geological data about the dome.

Crazy! First we have an epic oil disaster, GOM blowout.
Next, epic Fuku disaster and all the nuclear plant issues.
Now, natural gas storage potential epic disaster and disruptions.
WTF, it's like we are having corporate energy wars…

"..Ever since industrial agriculture has started producing tomatoes, they have all started looking the same. That's because consumers want the ripest, reddest, roundest tomatoes they can get, and big business makes sure they got it. The question though is what producing genetically identical tomatoes does for the taste and nutritional value. Barry Estabrook, author of "Tomato-land: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit," joins RT's Liz Wahl to discuss the matter.,,"
@3.28 mins measuring tomatoes a foot away with a giger counter.. hmmm?

not really gmo? or is it?

if this was done recently at the market was it because of a local radiation incident?

So how long has Chevron been storing and selling radioactive contaminated natural gas? So Dixie Lee Ray and Reagan got their way and brought radioactive waste right into the home….er, excuse me, she renamed it a "resource" thereby eliminating the problem of so called radioactive waste. (Gofman, from Irrevy, pg 159.
HELP.

We don't need all this dangerous industry. There's really nothing good about any of it.

Much of the produced water coming out of the ground is naturally radioactive. In fact there are fields in KSA that can't be used because the oil is so radioactive. Where do you put all that crap? Pump into a salt dome.

Don't buy anything from chevron.

Salt domes well up into rock layers, forming cylinders of salt deposits, sometimes one right next to another. You can even see the tops of salt domes in Google Earth, just off shore from The Mississippi/Alabama state line on the sea floor.
