ENE-News – 11 new bubble sites found in a row outside giant sinkhole — “Discovery has led to speculation it marks edge of suspected subsidence zone” (PHOTOS)
The Advocate – New bubble site found southwest of sinkhole
“The sites bring to 34 the number of known bubble sites in the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou areas in the vicinity of the sinkhole on Texas Brine Co. LLC’s leased property.
Scientists think the Houston-based company’s salt cavern in the Napoleonville Dome failed deep underground, causing the sinkhole and unleashing oil and natural gas from formations along the salt dome face. That free gas is thought to be surfacing through many bubble sites and the sinkhole.”
The new bubbling wasn’t even found by “a representative of the landowner found the bubble sites late last week while checking the property from an airboat” (!) Is BUTANE being released??
[snip] . . . “Boudreaux said Shaw and a contractor for Texas Brine collected samples from the frothing site Tuesday morning. Parish officials collected samples from another sizeable site on Sunday . . . The samples will undergo isotopic tests to identify the sites’ source and other tests that will show what kinds of gas are being released, such as methane or butane.”
AND –
“Sites farthest from the sinkhole have been determined to be releasing so-called “swamp gas,” which results from the decay of organic matter. Still other sites have been shown to be producing a blend of both kinds of gas.” – That answers some old questions.
Freedomrox says Texas Brine goofed up. The MAP page has the new bubble site map added.

PLEASE use darker font colours – light pastel colours on a white background is VERY hard on the eyes, thank you, the info is too important!
it’s gonna stay that way until WordPress gets a theme that works on phone.
Try highlighting the text you can’t read (reverses the colors) or increasing the font size (how-to is upper right corner) or get a computer.
This is good way to tell what going on deep underground Hot and Warm Springs in the US.

Walter what do you think of the story about DEQ monitoring strong smell in St. Bernard Parish on the Gulf coast? (in Wed. news)
With the full moon on the 26 anything could happen.
full moon?
Let’s check the crystal ball …
Full moon It like the earth is taking in air at this time it part of the mechanics of the earth to cleans the atmosphere.
Oh, well, here’s the scoop.
The Jan. 22nd update is online and has pictures.
NEWS ALERT! Want to see your Well Pad on CRACK? Well pressures venting gas is beyond belief in it’s surge!

No. “MRAA-03” on well pad #3 was being plugged and abandoned by drilling crew
5,173 mcf at Vent Well# 1, (if I am reading this correctly)

Great pictures of the damages at Well Pad 3, and they are plugging and Abandoning MRAA#3. That’s the aquifer vent and monitoring well close to Oxy 3.
This is ORW 12,
Well Pad is royally screwed.
oops. was watching Hillary thrashing ,,,,
on it
Look on the Daily Report and you will see they have High Volume and Low pressures, except fo the 500 psig on Oxy 3A, also working with PuterMan on the geo’s.
I had to use an email interview for Rep. Joe Harrison, and maybe respond tomorrow…
bottom of this page … they plan on still using thumper …

Yeah, I know and alerted PuterMan. He’s on the look out for it. Nothing I can do…they are actually doing it at the right time now, since the damage has already been done. Doubtful resonance will be enough to cause much more damage. It will hasten the next event though, so we will need to monitor head pressures and gas volumes to see what’s up.
