New Post Tomorrow On Oil Spill Jobs Info.  It’ll (hopefully) be a doozy.

UPDATE:  nope…it’s gonna be out on 2010AUG10

UPDATE:  I hate to do this, but it’s gonna be 2010AUG11 or 2010AUG12 before the next update.  Just keep lurking.  I’ll be back with inspiration and information and other stuff.

Will the oil spill jobs be able to save delicious Gulf oysters for places like Felix’s (pictured here) in New Orleans and the Tens of Thousands of places like them in southeast Louisiana?

The answer is obviously:  I don’t know.  And nobody else does either.

But just to get a little more idea what we’re dealing with, and how the oil spill workers would be essential in cleaning the area where the oysters are cultivated, take a look at this map of the oyster beds:

As you can see, the oyster beds are highlighted in red.  Now, there is oyster cultivation going on in all the states surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, but Louisiana – by several orders of magnitude – has the biggest and most active area of operation for oyster farming.

Does that seem dramatic?  Does that title seem exaggerated?  Well, it’s not.

Just take a look at this video about an oil spill that happened 10 years ago in Brazil.  You’ll be able to draw some quick parallels between the plight there and the oil spill tragedy saga that’s just beginning here.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!  In case you haven’t heard already, the US Gov’t confirmed today that this oil spill was the biggest oil accident in history.  The busted well leaked about 5 million BARRELS.  There are 42 gallons in each barrel, so that’s about 210 MILLION gallons of leaked oil.

(For comparison, that 0.16% of the amount leaked oil in this video from Brazil.)

What’s going to happen to the Gulf of Mexico?  What’s going to happen to the Southeastern United States?  I don’t know.  What I do know, thought, is that the continued need for oil spill cleanup workers and general oil spill jobs will be pivotal in how this oil spill turns out.  If there are enough brains working on solutions and enough qualified, trained oil spill job holders to the necessary remediation work – we will win!  The Gulf will get clean.  The fishermen and shrimpers will go back to work.  The vacationers will come back to pile into the ocean.  Life will go back to normal.

Here’s the video.  It’s good:

I thank you for your continued interest in the BP oil spill jobs and the Gulf oil spill recovery.  It’s going to take ten of thousands of oil spill jobbers if not hundreds of thousands of train oil workers participating in oil spill employment to save the Gulf

You’ve probably been hearing just like I have all week long about “how the oil slick in Gulf of Mexico is mysteriously vanishing.”

Well, I’m here to inform you that the BP oil spill problem is Faaaaar From Gone, and the Gulf oil spill jobs are Here To Stay!

Let’s break it down:

Oil Spill Jobs To Stay Because Spilled — BP Crude Is Still Here – All Over The Place…

Earlier this week you read headlines talking about how microbes – bacteria – in the Gulf of Mexico waters have been devouring the oil from the BP leak like mad.  And now that the busted well has had its temporary cap since July 15th, the oil-loving bugs have had a chance to eat it all up without dealing with more and more leaked oil from the uncontrolled gusher a mile below the water’s surface. Because of this, the oil is disappearing much faster than expected and it’s just like magic.

Well, here’s what’s true about what I just quoted.  The Gulf of Mexico is full of bacteria that eat oil.  Scientists say that the Gulf of Mexico has natural oil seepage coming straight from the bottom of the ocean all over the place.  They say that it’s been doing this for thousands of years and it continues today.  And this oil seepage is not related whatsoever to oil drilling that has gone on in the Gulf for the past 50 years or so.  So, yes, the microbes are out there consuming the oil.

What’s not true is that “the oil is gone!”

BP Oil Spill Slick All Around Louisiana's Mississippi Delta

What is the next stage in the BP oil spill disaster recovery, and how will this impact the availability of new oil spill jobs?

Here is an educated guess, but first: what we do know?

1. We know that the out-of-control oil well has been sealed-up by oil job workers over the old Deepwater Horizon oil rig site ever since July 15th about 3:15 in the afternoon.  Since that time, it has held strong with no obvious leaks (unless there’s a cover-up going on.  I don’t think there is at this time.)

2. We know that the 5K foot deep well has a Temporary Cap.  This means that there will have to be more oil job work on permanently fixing and sealing the busted deep sea oil well.  There is also a HIGH PROBABILITY that the temporary cap may have to be removed – letting the oil well start spraying its toxic crude into the already damaged Gulf of Mexico.

3. Nobody knows if permanently sealing the oil well is going to work as planned.  Also, there is apprehension about removing the temporary cap because it could cause more problems, too…like a new oil leak.

4. There’s the possibility that bad storms, including hurricanes, could hamper work to make permanent the cap fixing the oil well.

Now, for theorizing sake, let’s say that BP’s ever-problematic oil well actually does stay shut. Let’s say that not another drop spills into the ocean. Then what?
