Whistleblower: BP Risks More Massive Catastrophes in Gulf : Veterans Today

A former contractor who worked for British Petroleum (BP) claims the oil conglomerate broke federal laws and violated its own internal procedures by failing to maintain crucial safety and engineering documents related to one of the firms other deep water production projects in the Gulf of Mexico, according to internal emails and other documents obtained by Truthout.

The whistle-blower, whose name has been withheld at the person’s request because the whistle-blower still works in the oil industry and fears retaliation, first raised concerns about safety issues related to BP Atlantis, the world’s largest and deepest semi-submersible oil and natural gas platform, located about 200 miles south of New Orleans, in November 2008. Atlantis, which began production in October 2007, has the capacity to produce about 8.4 million gallons of oil and 180 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.

It was then that the whistle-blower, who was hired to oversee the company’s databases that housed documents related to its Atlantis project, discovered that the drilling platform had been operating without a majority of the engineer-approved documents it needed to run safely, leaving the platform vulnerable to a catastrophic disaster that would far surpass the massive oil spill that began last week following a deadly explosion on a BP-operated drilling rig.

BP’s own internal communications show that company officials were made aware of the issue and feared that the document shortfalls related to Atlantis “could lead to catastrophic operator error” and must be addressed.

Indeed, according to an August 15, 2008, email sent to BP officials by Barry Duff, a member of BP’s Deep water Gulf of Mexico Atlantis Subsea Team, the Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs) for the Atlantis subsea components “are not complete.” P&IDs documents form the foundation of a hazards analysis BP is required to undertake as part of its Safety and Environmental Management Program related to its offshore drilling operations. P&IDs drawings provide the schematic details of the project’s piping and process flows, valves and safety critical instrumentation.

“The risk in turning over drawings that are not complete are: 1) The Operator will assume the drawings are accurate and up to date,” the email said. “This could lead to catastrophic Operator errors due to their assuming the drawing is correct,” said Duff’s email to BP officials Bill Naseman and William Broman. “Turning over incomplete drawings to the Operator for their use is a fundamental violation of basic Document control, [internal standards] and Process Safety Regulations.”A former contractor who worked for British Petroleum (BP) claims the oil conglomerate... more

Iran Starts Inspecting the Cell Phones of Young Female and Male in Public Places

Last year, a report on “mobile policing” caused an uproar in the media. NAJA, an acronym for security agents, officially denied inspecting young men’s and women’s mobile phones in public places. Nonetheless, a special crime prevention and combat squad in Eastern Azerbaijan province took the first step in this regard and became the first to enforce the mobile phone inspection law.
According to reports by Shahab News, an order was issued on Tuesday morning to special crime prevention and combat squads in Eastern Azerbaijan province to inspect the mobile phones of “people of interest” selectively in public. Authorities in Eastern Azerbaijan province stressed that the operation is intended to counter those who are promoting corruption using Blue-Tooth technology, and that the operation will be conducted in cooperation with the judicial office. Violators will be detained, their mobile phones will be confiscated, and their cases will be sent to the local general and revolutionary court for review.
Although a similar announcement has not been made in other provinces, and inspecting young citizens’ mobile phones is considered illegal, there is a possibility that a special crime prevention and combat squad will begin implementing similar surveillance in other provinces.
The Shahab News report indicated that Malek Azhdar-Sharifi, chief prosecutor in Eastern Azerbaijan province, emphasized confronting Blue-Tooth users who are alleged to use immoral material. Mr. Azhdar-Sharifi stated: “Those responsible for distributing immoral CDs and Blue-Tooth technology with be prosecuted to the full extent of the law”.
Mr. Azhdar-Sharifi further added: “the subject of immoral CDs and Blue-Tooth technology is a very sensitive subject and on certain occasions has offended the public. It appears that this issue is another tactic to exploit and subvert our Islamic ways and values by [importing] the outside world’s corruption. We should consider this issue very serious”.
On implementing this law Mr. Azhdar-Sharifi stated: “security forces and dedicated revolutionary guards must coordinate their actions with the judicial office to take an effective step in eradicating these promoters”.
In his statements Mr. Azhdar-Sharifi turned his attention to prosecutors across the province and reminded them: “considering the enormity of the situation across the province, no compromises should be made when combating promoters and distributors of immoral products”.
According to a Fars report, which initially published news on this subject, Yahya Mirza-Mohammadi, the general and revolutionary prosecutor for Tabriz, also made a statement in this session and said: “young people, instead of spending their time being educated and using their energy in positive ways, are swayed toward these corrupt ways that are very destructive”.
The chairman of the special crime prevention and combat squad added: “it is a worrisome situation […] we should counter the issue legally and seriously”.
The chairman further added; “security, intelligence and revolutionary agents are requested to uncover and arrest those responsible for such a destructive phenomenon and take legal action in combating and turning them in to the judicial system”.
Mr. Mirza-Mohammadi stressed confronting the promoters of corruption in a serious way and stated: “I can earnestly announce the I and other colleagues in judicial offices, especially the offices responsible for reviewing issues related to morality, will confront the corrupt individuals without any reservation. It appears to me that there is no difference between these violators and those who are considered irredeemably corrupt, and we can treat these types of violators in the same way that we deal with irredeemable violators.Last year, a report on “mobile policing” caused an uproar in the media.... more
