1 British Petroleum in Trinidad and Tobago suffered a well blowout on Rocky Point
|
2 B.P.'s well blowout covered a ocean water inlet as well as a pond at the end of inlet
|
3 The oil was thick and covered the water as well as inland vegetation
|
4 B.P.'s cleanup contractor Interchem, reacted to the well blowout by utilizing OSE II for the oil spill clean up.
|
9 The oil is still lifting from the vegetation from the B.P. well blowout
|
6 2 days after Interchem applied OSE II the oil could still be seen lifting off the sand and vegetation
|
7 The oil that has lifted off the vegetation is starting to solubalize (where the oil interfac e increases)
|
10 The oil is still lifting from the vegetation, the oil in the water is bioremediation
|
11 The oil in the water is solubulizing and starting to convert to CO2 and water
|
12 The oil on the soil and vegetation is detoxified to the point that 8 days after applying OSE II new vegetation is growing
|
14 10 days after applying OSE II the oil is solubalized and large pockets of CO2 bubbles are present.
|
15 Large pockets of CO2 is where the oil is remediated, and then you can start to see the bottom
|
17 14 days after applying OSE II you can see the bottom
|
18 Once the bacteria run out of free floating solubalized oil to convert to CO2 and water, the bacteria will then migrate to where any other oil is ac
|
20 Twenty one days after applying OSE II the shoreline is clean and new vegetation is growing
