Wont a "relief well" just allow the vaccum to be broken? Now the cavern will have a "carb" to let out any existing air or lighter fluid so the sinkhole can just suck harder?

It's more of an exploratory fact finding well than "relief". I think they just didn't know what to call it.

Contrary to reports we’ve been questioned about from residents, the mandatory evacuation remains and a forced evacuation is not being called at this time. Conditions remain the same and have not changed to heighten the alert; however, should conditions change this order can be changed at any time.
As reported previously, the rigs are being changed out so that the final phase of drilling can begin. Once we receive notice from Texas Brine that they have a set time frame on when the cavern will be entered, we will give a 48-hour notice. The notice will be disseminated via this blog, official press release, and the emergency notification system (phone calls to residents in evacuation area).
As stated on yesterday, DNR has ordered all companies with active industry on the salt dome (Texas Brine, Chevron, Cross Tex, Dow, Pro Mix, Acadian, and PB Energy) to investigate for the presence of natural gas and ordered to vent any gas found. Each company was required to submit their plans regarding this order to DNR. Parish officials and state agencies will review and discuss these plans this afternoon at the industry meeting. The parish should also be receiving engineered plans from DNR for the vent wells that will be placed within the community sometime this week.

Relief well should be entering cavern within the next two days. Pending no pressure or seismic activity.

Getting close

This morning, we were advised that the snubbing rig had reached 3,180'. The estimated depth of the cavern is 3,700.

Anybody got the inside scoop on the latest developments?

Assumption Parish officials have been advised by DNR that their exploratory well observers have confirmed that brine cavern #3 has failed. Per Texas Brine’s press release, “The tool used to measure cavern depth bottomed out at approximately 4,000 feet – a point estimated to be 1,300 feet higher than the floor had been measured prior to the cavern closure in 2011

Yeah, I got that part, I'm just wondering what the mystery product at the bottom of the cavern is.

Salt hopefully, if not there is bigger problems.

Overnight, there was a 30’ x 50’ slough in on the SE side of the sinkhole (towards Texas Brine). The slough in took many trees and part of the road that was built to park excavators on to resume cleanup activities. This area has never sloughed in before as opposed to previous slough-ins that have taken place in the same spots along the embankment of the sinkhole. Tests continue to be run in the cavern. Once any results are available, they will be shared.
A bubbling spot was observed on Bayou Drive in Pierre Part. DEQ will take samples today that will determine if this bubbling is natural gas or “swamp gas”. Monitoring was done by OEP and there were no harmful risks detected.
We will hold a resident briefing this Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. The location is tentatively set for here at the command post; however, the weather forecast may force us to move indoors. We will advise you with details closer to Saturday through blog posts and a notification phone call.

I also heard that the flare they been burning hit some hs2 gas the other day...
Posted on 11/27/12 at 7:46 pm to LSURoss
Nothing big happening. But hs2 ain't no joke.
I just don't see an answer to the problem.

I was in Pierre part all week last week and that flare was burning its arse off day/night. Seems like the "watchman" has a pretty sweet gig. Hang out in his truck and watch fire all day

There's a wholeeeeeeeeeeee lotta shite down there to flare off. Those wells hold upwards of a million barrels of stuff.
As for it burping up H2S, I'm sure that's not overly uncommon when poking holes that deep into the ground.

From the air it looks like a good duck hole...

Anyone got updates on this. I haven't been following it lately.
