Oil and Methane Still Leaking From BP’s Blown-Out Oil Well

The cap forced the oil and toxic gases out the broken well casing and into surrounding rocks where it continues leaking into the Gulf of Mexico. Erosion of the well casing could prevent the relief wells from properly controlling the blow-out.

A federal official said Sunday that scientists are concerned about a seep and possible methane seen near BP’s busted oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.

Both could be signs there are leaks in the well that’s been capped off for three days.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because an announcement about the next steps had not yet been made.

The official is familiar with the spill oversight but would not clarify what is seeping near the well. The official said BP is not complying with the government’s demand for more monitoring. BP spokesman Mark Salt declined to comment on the allegation, but said “we continue to work very closely with all government scientists on this.”

Americans in the gulf states are still at great risk from methane explosions and poisoning the deadly Corexit 9500 oil dispersant used to conceal the massive oil slicks.
