Title: FIRST LOOK: Source of Gulf Oil Sheen
Source: WKRG
Author: Debbie Williams
Date: October 26, 2012
[...] ROV’s, were sent to inspect the site earlier this month and find the source of the sheen. They captured what the Coast Guard called “globules” and BP described as “droplets” of oil leaking from what is called the “stove pipe” on top of the cofferdam and from an opening on the side.
The Coast Guard estimates 15 globules a minute were escaping [...]
Underwater cameras also inspected the original well area including the wreckage, debris, relief wells and the riser on the sea floor and observed no oil leakage from that area. Video of that inspection was not released.
[...]
A spokesman for BP declined several requests to comment on this story.
There is no mention of any inspection of the seafloor by BP or the Coast Guard. See: Officials concerned oil may be escaping from locations on sea floor away from BP's Macondo well in Gulf -- CEO pressed for answers

"Only 100 gallons a day" Sounds like a lot to me if it is never ending.

Oops about 100 gallons daily but why won't they show us the entire well head, as was stated in the video. Things that make ya go hmm.

They did not release video of the actual well head? Sounds like they have something to hide!

October 25, 2012 BP Plugs Openings in Underwater Dome After Oil Sheen in Gulf

Report Comment
It's a feasible explanation, the droplets being the lingering aftermath of the big release, because the cofferdam shifted in the current and allowed floating trapped oil to finally escape. That doesn't necessarily mean that I buy it though.

Greenpeace: US tried to cover-up effects of BP’s Gulf oil spill _Real cost for BP 50 billion Dollars?
"After the decomposed carcass was discovered, U.S. officials gave strict instructions to the crew aboard the vessels that no information or photographs were to be released. NOAA did later issue a press release about the dead whale, though it was soon edited in such a way that it appeared to minimize the oil’s effect on whales."
“We believe a full throated debate over the settlement amount needs to happen before any deal is done,” said John Kostyack, a vice president at the National Wildlife Federation, who estimates BP’s potential liability at more than $50 billion."

No oil was observed leaking from the original spill area, so it is reasonable to search the sea floor for the origin of this particular oil, isn't it? We don't know if this is being done or merely not reported.
The corporate mandate for profit above all has really given the entire biosphere some nasty treatment.

The oil industry is like the nuclear industry in that they both seem to have bought the government and operate outside of the law. You or me will get a hefty fine for throwing a candy wrapper out a car window on the interstate but these guys destroy ecosystems and stay in business. Justice is blind when these billionaires hide behind expensive lawyers and bribed politicians
