“It has become clear that Texas Brine is trying to run out the clock on the citizens of Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou by hiding behind insurance companies, lawyers and lobbyists,” Jindal said in a statement released Monday afternoon. “That is unacceptable. Texas Brine is responsible for the sinkhole, and they need to clean up the mess they’ve made and do right by the people of Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou by issuing long overdue settlement offers.”

Insurance Co. / Buy-Out Bombshell . . . Jindal to Address Issue Momentarily

WBRZ -  Insurance company blamed for sinkhole buyout holdup

by Russell Jones

BATON ROUGE – The company which owns land a massive sinkhole appeared on blamed their insurance carrier today for the holdup in buyouts for nearby property.

Texas Brine, LLC released a statement which said their carrier hasn’t approved any money for buyouts just yet, and they’re working with the insurance company to get that money as soon as they can.

Around 100 residents living near the sinkhole in Assumption Parish signed up to have their properties bought out. Officials said Texas Brine is nearly three weeks overdue to make offers for their land.

Estimates put the damage and related costs from the sinkhole at $40 million, which the state says Texas Brine is liable for.

Gov. Bobby Jindal scheduled a press conference this afternoon to address issues with the sinkhole response. News 2 crews are there and will have updates tonight.

Explosive TIMEBOMB in Assumption Parish

No wonder they try and hide their cavern inventories from the public! There is only a state directive to Crosstex to get rid of product near the expanding out-of-control salt dome collapse below Lake FUBAR. That means these figures from last Sept. on this map are pretty much the same as all oil and gas companies report ‘business as usual” in Assumption Parish.

As of Sept. 2012 there were OVER 120 MILLION BARRELS of LPG just in the map area . . . not counting the rest of Assumption Parish.

 DOW + KDS product shown on the map  =   120,793,163     

And checking just ONE of the natural gas caverns we see MORE than 15 MILLION BARRELS in one spot.

Found: How much METHANE is in well-water in Bayou Corne

This Sept. 2012 DNR map has just been put up on the ‘Methane’ page.  Amounts of methane exceed 20,000 ug/l in some wells.

CLICK ON IMAGE FOR FULL SIZE

On the measurement (ug/l) Freedomrox says -

ppm stands for parts per million. There is 1000g in a kg, 1,000,000 mg in a kg, and 1,000,000,000 ug in a kg.

1000ug/kg is therefore 1ppm

1800ug/L is 1.8ppm.

So we are talking about 20.4 ppm. Essentially useless as a water well because of gas infiltration, and highly dangerous to liquid products, without extensive liberation and filtration of methane gas.

Thoughts about the Texas salt dome explosion years ago – Salt dome explosion: 20 years later

[snip] ” . . . . I learned from a volunteer firefighter that a young Brenham police officer found the lifeless body of a blue-eyed, blonde-haired 5-year-old boy named Derrick Meinen. His mother, they said, was taken by helicopter to Hermann Hospital in Houston. Meanwhile, a resident told me about three other lives in danger: A mother and her adult daughter were burned over 60 percent of their body when their car was flattened by the explosion; the 3-year-old child in the car was burned as well. All were taken to a Houston hospital. . . .”

DNR Inspection Report out, May 6^th

CROSSTEX is ADDING LPG mix to Well #2!!! 

Update for May 2 posted. Well#2: 100,491 barrels of the explosive stuff.  (Who knows what’s  there NOW!)

Other companies’ “updates” up to May 2^nd.  Texas Brine’s says nothing. Their hidden daily update (May 6) hasn’t much new either. Another nothing report indicates H2S amounts as under 1.0% but doesn’t say what the amount is. DNR not asking either.

The Advocate – Some work halted when tremors hit Assumption sinkhole

Sinkhole uproots bayou residents

“Don Marlin, the state Office of Conservation’s expert hired to review Texas Brine’s seismic data, has raised the possibility of at least eight sources for the gas based on less detailed seismic data from 2007.
This has raised fears that the gas in the aquifer could be continually fed from several sources.”
