Can BP or the United States Afford to Keep Ignoring Logical Solutions?


Texas Pipeline Expert Launches Website (www.OilSpillFix.com) Presenting Schematics Showing How to Fix the BP Oil Spill

HARLINGEN, Texas, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- After nearly five weeks and a number of failed attempts to stop the oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, it's time for BP and the United States to explore viable alternatives from beyond the confines of the company responsible for this catastrophe. So says a Texas businessman with extensive expertise in offshore oil well construction who has developed a detailed and logical solution for capping the worst oil spill in U.S. history.

Daniel E. Davis, CEO of the D.E. Davis Group, a consortium of construction, heavy equipment and pipeline companies based in Harlingen, Texas has multi-faceted experience with off shore oil rigs and oil field operations, having worked throughout North, South and Central America for more than 30 years.

Davis, who holds numerous patents in the pipeline and hydraulics industries, has developed a detailed step-by-step solution to quickly gain control of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "BP was very close to the right idea with the first solution they attempted," explains Davis. "However, I knew it wouldn't work because it was missing a couple of key elements. I tried several times to point out the obvious, but no one from BP is responding to my efforts," Davis adds.

So frustrated with the lack of response, and so sure his idea will work, Davis has published schematics outlining his proposed solution on a newly launched website – www.OilSpillFix.com. Basically, the concept involves capping the leak with a structure fitted with 30+ inch output ports and collars to control flow and pressure. The structure would be put in place from a vertical style deep water pipelaying vessel with dynamic positioning capabilities. An oil and gas separator at the surface is key to provide necessary product and pressure control.

1. Well ...
I probably wouldn't take the advice of someone whose name doesn't readily appear on google and whose company doesn't have a website.

Look, lots of people have ideas, as well as schemes to sell. This doesn't mean that the top scientists the government has sent to work on this problem should advise trying them all.

2. Well...
His phone number comes up numerous times as someone who sells a lot of boats on ebay and craigslist. Someone named 'andre'.

4. Reminds me of when McCain said he knew how to capture Bin Laden.

Except McCain didn't have Powerpoint charts.
