Is this Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico Unstoppable or can BP Stop it with (2) Relief Wells and Cement?

By C. Henry Adams

First, I would like to express my condolences to the families of the 11 people who lost their lives on the Deepwater Horizon Offshore Oil Rig.

Second, I would like to pray for the livelihood of all People who rely on the Gulf of Mexico to thrive.

Moreover, I would like to pray that our Nation recover quickly from this ordeal in the next few days, weeks and months to follow.

The question Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. ("BIE") ask:
Is this Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico Unstoppable or can BP Stop it with (2) Relief Wells and Cement?

BIE noted the following on PURE SPECULATION:

DISCLAIMER: WE ARE NOT PHYSICIST AND THE MATH, AS WELL AS, THE SCIENTIFIC EQUATIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT.

* BP the biggest Partner involved with this incident has now failed for over 45 days to stop this Oil Well completely from spewing Crude Oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

* It was stated that the well is located about 5,000 feet below sea level and NO safe guards of any kind existed regarding this major accident.

* It is understood that to measure "atmosphere or ambient pressure"; every 32 feet below sea level equals 1 atmosphere ("atm"). If you divide 5000 ft. below sea level by every 32 ft. below sea level, you get 156.25 ambient pressure or atmosphere. 156.25 = the ambient pressure or atmosphere in 5,000 feet deep water- roughly speaking.

* To get the pound-force per square inch "(psi)", multiply 156.25 times 14.696 which equals about 2,296.25 (psi). Click! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pounds_per_square_inch

* 2,296.25 psi would crush a Human Being swimming in 5000 feet deep water in certain scuba gear. Click! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diver

* Now, let's say its 89 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level above the waters where the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig was located. Well, it is understood by BIE that if you descend 32 feet at a time in the sea, the atmosphere changes.

* Convert 89 degrees Fahrenheit to 31.67 degrees in Celsius.

* Convert 31.67 degrees to 304.82 degrees (rounded up) in Kelvin.

* Utilizing PURE SPECULATION, and this formula for temperature where P= pressure, V= Volume in Liters, divided by n= number of moles and R= equals to the Universal Gas Constant T = PV/nR, the temperature.

Gas Constant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

* For Instructional Purposes Only: BIE assumes P= 156.25 atm at 5,000 or 2,296.25 psi at 5,000 feet deep in the sea.

* For Instructional Purposes Only: BIE assumes V= 1M gallons of water or 3.785 x 1,000,000 = 3,785,000 L

* For Instructional Purposes Only: BIE assumes n= 1M gallons of water or 3,780,000,000 grams of water times 1 mole of water divided by 18.02 g/mol grams per molecular mass = 210,000,000 mole water.

* For Instructional Purposes Only: BIE assumes U.S. Standard Atmosphere R= 8.31432 J/mol-K

Click! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Standard_Atmosphere

* T = PV/nR or the temperature at 5,000 feet deep water assuming 156.25 atm (P) x 3,785,000 L (V) / 210,000,000 mole (n) x 8.31432 (R) = 23.414 (T).

Note: THIS IS PROBABLY WRONG. Also, Sodium which we often used to break up ice was NOT included in this MATH. Sea water has sodium in it. Furthermore, if (T) = Kelvins, then in Fahrenheit this equals -417.52 degrees Fahrenheit

Here's our point, let's say BP drills two relief wells 18,000 feet below sea level about 3 miles into the sea bed and utilized Portland Type 5 cement to shore up the spill.

How will they be successful in this extremely cold environment pumping CEMENT into a hole when it is known not to bond well in the cold with or without an accelerator chemical?

So, what do you think now about what BP is doing to shore up the OIL SPILL?
