After that, he said, his field supervisor, Randy Selman, ousted him from a meeting on safety, preventing his views from being heard." Source Financial Times "Charles Hamel, an advocate for BP workers in Alaska , said staff had complained about the fairness of BP's internal investigation. "One of the people in the investigation team was the one giving the 'verbal waiver' to flow the well without the proper diagnostics. He was, in effect, investigating himself," Mr Hamel said."

ENERGY FACTS: OIL SPILLS

http://www.iclei.org/EFACTS/OILSPILL.HTM

Extractions: Of all the different ways in which the industrialized world's use of energy can damage the natural environment, the most vivid for many people may be oil spills. On a seemingly regular basis, our newspapers and television screens are filled with pictures of listing tankers spilling crude oil (also known as petroleum), and oil soaked sea-birds in various stages of death. While these oil spills may be the most publicized (the Exxon Valdez for example), accidental spills from tankers account for only about 20% of the crude oil discharged into the world's oceans each year. The remaining 80% is largely a result of routine oil tanker operations such as emptying ballast tanks (Table 1). There are possible methods of reducing the amount of crude oil released into our oceans each year, but as long as vast amounts of oil are routinely transported by sea, there will be some amount of unavoidable spillage. TABLE 1: Oil discharged into the marine environment from maritime transport (millions of tons annually) (35K). Table 2 is a list of some of the major tanker spills which have occurred over the last 30 years. Many people assume that only those oil spills which occur near coastlines cause any damage. These spills do of course, have the largest immediate and economic impacts but although the world's oceans are large, no oil can be spilled without harming local ecosystems. Air and ocean currents can also transport pollutants for thousands of kilometres, therefore oil spills affect more than just isolated locations.

Sea Empress Oil Spill - The Oil Spill
The oil spill. Over the years, a succession of oil spills has affectedthe waters of the Haven and the adjacent Pembrokeshire coast.
http://www.swan.ac.uk/empress/oil/oil.htm

Extractions: The oil spill The oil refining industry became established around Milford Haven during the early 1960's. The naturally deep waters provide berthage for even the largest crude oil supertankers. Over the years, a succession of oil spills has affected the waters of the Haven and the adjacent Pembrokeshire coast. The Sea Empress (14K JPEG image) incident caused what has been by far the largest oil spill in the region, involving the release of the order of 70,000 tonnes of North Sea light crude. She was first holed just outside the mouth of Milford Haven on 15th February, 1996. Further damage was sustained and more cargo released during the ensuing days. The vessel was recovered and towed into Milford Haven, still leaking oil, on the 21st February. Six weeks later the vessel was towed out of the region to a shipyard in Belfast. Satellite image (13K GIF image) taken at 0808 GMT on the 21st February 1996 of the South-West Wales coast during the height of the incident. The image is a 1km AVHRR image processed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Satellite Receiving Station at Dundee University, and made available by the Regional Remote Sensing Centre, Geography Department, University of Wales Swansea. It is a composite of bands 2, 4 and 5 and shows a long streak of oil spreading eastwards along the coast towards Caldey Island. Note that the warmer water along the coastline further east towards the Gower Peninsula should not be misinterpreted as oil, even though it appears to be of a similar colour on this satellite image.
