Gary Hecox, a Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure Inc. geologist working on the issue for the State of Louisiana: Hydrogen Sulfide […] we’re talking about what’s coming out of the ground with all this other stuff.
The detections we’ve had are in the Oxy 3A cavern. We detected it in the caprock well.
We have seen small blips, now these are short term, in the aquifer. I believe it was on the [?] property, [?] detected some H2S over there. And our geoprobe well logs […] we’ve seen small blips that only last for a few seconds of H2S, what that means is we’re getting small amounts of hydrogen sulfide in the well hole.
Right now, and I’ve worked H2S environments for a lot of years, there is no current, immediate threat to the public because everybody in this room knows this thing changes almost every day. [Is this a basis to claim there is no current, immediate threat to the public?]
We have to monitor it. In Shaw Operations we made the decision when the H2S first showed up we’re going to handle it as a hydrogen sulfide job. And going forward that’s how we’re going to handle it because we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Sometimes we don’t what’s going to happen in a couple hours. It’s changing all the time. We have to protect our workers. We’re handling this a hydrogen sulfide job. […]
Part 6 at 12:00
Hecox: Right now folks, to be honest with you I think we’ve got enough challenges we’re facing. We know it’s there, but I recommended to folks working that we leave the H2S alone for now. We know it’s down there, but let’s leave it there for now, while we deal with everything else that we’ve got in front of us.
We’re not going to ignore it, but right now it’s not going to benefit anybody to be bringing a lot of H2S to the surface.

From shaw's presentation..
Evaluating seismic events and why Amend 5
requires deep seismic arrays to 6000 feet.
Anybody know what they mean?
Report Comment
oh, nevermind, this is the amendment to the directive from dnr..

Thank you Cat for sharing the links. Studying them makes me wonder even more about the newly found subsidence on the West side. The sinkhole itself is becoming more and more narrow so stuff shouldn't be rapidly falling down the funnel and the main bottom of the sinkhole is leveling out so not so much a slide shape anymore.

Still no sonar image of the inside of the cavern?
And DNR/TB still haven't explained why TB was permitted to start grinding away at the well casing to make the cavern even taller when they knew it couldn't hold pressure? Why isn't that work permit even on the SONRIS site? Was it fake or is the DNR just embarassed?
Report Comment
Oh, Paveway, they have completely cleansed Well Serial Number 180708 from Sonris. So no worries, it never even existed. Oooops, except, this… http://tinyurl.com/9t9sbjc
The Advocate copied the paper documents with all signatures, names, dates, and well Number.

No images until March, Paveway.
DNR is covering up it's own complicity, IMHO.

H2S gas is interesting, and unexpected maybe here? Found this company that has processes to handle it..but also note the comment on value.

The H2S is corrosive and "aggressive"..(dangerous/high pressure?) and the company does not show any such gases in the GOM. Just in Central/S. America. But they can handle it, per the above PDF document.
One other comment, anyone selling their property to US government or Texas Brine by outs..should keep oil/gas/mineral rights. Right now thats not what anyone is thinking of BUT..They may be sitting on a black gold mine..or gas one. Just saying.
Report Comment
Wonder if suddenly Texas Brine offers buy outs if they believe the situation of a potential oil/gas find is "outed".
