Marée noire : BP a déjà déboursé 3,5 milliards de dollars

(ATS) - La marée noire causée par l’explosion d’une de ses plates-formes dans le golfe du Mexique a déjà coûté 3,5 milliards de dollars à British Petroleum (BP). Le groupe pétrolier britannique a précisé que la pose d’un nouvel entonnoir pour contenir la fuite "se déroule comme prévu".

BP a réussi à récupérer 749’100 barils de pétrole depuis le début de la fuite. Le groupe précise que l’ensemble de ses projets devrait permettre de récupérer 60’000 à 80’000 barils par jour d’ici à fin juillet, en attendant que soient terminés les deux puits de secours qui permettront normalement d’arrêter cette fuite.

La première quinzaine d’août est toujours la date avancée pour l’entrée en service du premier de ces puits.

Quelque 46’000 personnes, plus de 6’400 navires et des dizaines d’avions sont engagés dans la lutte contre cette marée noire, indique BP. Le groupe a reçu 105’000 demandes de dédommagement et a effectué plus de 52’000 paiements pour un total de presque 165 millions de dollars.

BP rappelle qu’il a accepté de créer un fonds de 20 milliards de dollars pour faire face aux coûts de la marée noire.

Le pétrole s’échappe dans le golfe du Mexique depuis fin avril, quand la plateforme Deepwater Horizon, exploitée par BP au large des côtes de la Louisiane, a explosé puis fait naufrage.

Les ingénieurs de BP ont achevé de retirer l’entonnoir qui captait le pétrole à 1500 mètres de profondeur. Ils espèrent lui substituer dans les prochains jours un modèle plus performant censé piéger la totalité du brut qui s’échappe de la fuite.

    Ce que les grands médias ne disent pas sur le nettoyage de la marée noire

    Le resultat de l’exploitation capitaliste du sous sol du Golfe du Mexique :

    outre les 40 000 puits en activité, 27 000 puits desaffectés et abandonnés,un “gruyere” sans controle.

    La recuperation du petrole par le navire geant a l’essai se heurte a l’obligation reglementaire de rejeter de l’eau de mer pure a 99% :

    2400 Canadian Soldiers and the 1 Combat Engineer Regiment based in Edmonton Alberta are on a 72 Hour notice for deployment to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

    The 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1 CMBG) frequently train with U.S. Army units including up to a 3 year secondment in the U.S. Military for Career Officers. The Canadian Engineer Regiment is often associated with the British SAS and their role in recent conflicts such as Bosnia and Afghanistan has seen them doing less reconstruction work and more urban pacification and counter insurgency operations.....

    Tribes Unite to Fight BP

    A delegation of indigenous leaders from Ecuador visited Louisiana to share what they learned in a decades-long battle with Texaco.

    A delegation of indigenous and community leaders from Ecuador visited Louisiana this week at the invitation of the United Houma Nation, a tribe in coastal Lafourche and Terrebone parishes that has been hit hard by the BP oil catastrophe. The Ecuadorians have come to share lessons they’ve learned dealing with another oil disaster : U.S. oil companies’ dumping of toxic waste in the Amazon rainforest.

    From 1964 until it pulled out in 1992, Texaco—which merged with Chevron a decade ago—dumped some 17 million gallons of crude oil and 20 billion gallons of drilling waste water into waterways and pits in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The contamination has seeped into water supplies, where it’s killed fish and is blamed for health problems among local residents, who suffer from elevated rates of cancers, reproductive disorders, and respiratory ailments...

    Costa Rica’s Opposition Rejects Entry Of US Naval Forces

    As is customary, the US asks for authorization of Costa Rica’s legislature before entry of any US warship and soldiers in Costa Rican waters. And as customary, the Costa Rica legislature grants its permission, as was the case on Friday.

    The permission allows the entry of 46 US war ships and 7.000 Marines for the balance of the year (July 1 to December 31, 2010).

    Coast Guard dispatching ships and personnel to Costa Rica to threaten Nicaragua

    (WMR) — After conducting its successful coup d’etat in Honduras against President Manuel Zelaya, the imperialistic Barack Obama administration is now bent on ousting Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega by massing a huge U.S. Coast Guard and Marine Corps presence in neighboring Costa Rica, a base of operations for Reagan administration-backed CIA operations in the 1980s in support of the Nicaraguan contras.

    Costa Rican government officials, including President Laura Chinchilla, Vice President Luis Lieberman Ginsburg, Security Minister Jose Maria Tijerino, counter-narcotics Commissioner Mauricio Boraschi, and the Costa Rican Congress agreed to Operation Joint Patrol, which will see 7,000 US Marines, 46 mainly U.S. Coast Guard vessels, and 200 helicopters and 10 combat aircraft descend on Costa Rica, which does not have a military force, from July 1 to December 31.

    At a time when the Coast Guard vessels could be used to assist in the clean-up of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, they will be used in an operation widely believed to be targeting the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which incurred the ire of Israel and its Zionist ally in San Jose, Costa Rica, Vice President Lieberman, by severing relations with the Tel Aviv regime over the Israeli attack on the Gaza aid flotilla.

    The official reason for Operation Joint Patrol is to combat drug trafficking but few in the Costa Rican opposition and in Nicaragua believe that to be the sole reason. The Joint Patrol operation is being likened to Plan Colombia, which has targeted the governments of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa from Colombian territory. The Costa Rican opposition has denounced Chinchilla’s government for militarizing Costa Rica.

    It is also believed by WMR’s sources in Costa Rica that Costa Rican Vice President Lieberman, a noted Zionist, has arranged for Israeli special forces to enter Costa Rica in order to participate in operations directed against the government of Nicaragua.
