"Drilling" For Common Sense On Energy In Bucks
2008-08-12 20:55:00 I haven?t had much to say about Bucks County Courier Times columnist J.D. Mullane for some time because he?s largely confined his wingnuttery to his blog, which is something I don?t care to discuss at this moment because I?m eating my lunch.However, in his column today, he takes note of Patrick Murphy?s appearance at the Lower Makefield, PA Farmer?s Market last Thursday, in which Patrick judged the ?Great Zucchini Race??Just before the zucchinis zoomed down a 12-foot plywood track, a half-dozen protesters closed in on Murphy, holding signs that criticized him and his Democratic Party on oil, drilling and energy.Murphy, with his 150-watt smile, largely ignored them. Afterward, glancing at the sign-holders, he said with a shrug, ?That's politics.?And by the way, it should be noted that, since they disagreed with the Democrats, these were ?good? protestors as far as J.D. is concerned, not ?hippies? opposing the Iraq war who should be tear gassed, as Mullane called for here.And where e...

Drilling caused Lapindo mud disaster - report
2008-06-10 03:14:00 Drilling of a gas exploration well, and not an earthquake, set off a volcano that has been spewing boiling mud for two years and has displaced more than 50,000 people on the Indonesian island of Java, experts said on Monday. Records kept by oil and gas company Lapindo Brantas during the drilling of a gas exploration well called Banjar-Panji-1 show specific incidents that could have triggered the disaster, the international team of experts said. "We are more certain than ever that the Lusi mud volcano is an unnatural disaster and was triggered by drilling the Banjar-Panji-1 well," said Richard Davies, a professor of earth sciences at Britain's Durham University. "We show that the day before the mud volcano started, there was a huge 'kick' in the well, which is an influx of fluid and gas into the wellbore," Davies said in a statement. "We show that after the kick, the pressure in the well went beyond a critical level. This resulted in the leakage of the ...
