Location of natural oil seep and chemical fingerprinting suggest alternative explanation for deep sea coral observations.
In the article by White et al. (1) we find that the authors prematurely linked the condition of a single coral community to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, without evaluating other plausible explanations, including the presence of natural oil and gas seeps near the coral, and the potential for underwater landslides to carry seep sediments onto the coral. The single coral location in question, ...
متن کاملEvolution and biogeography of deep-sea vent and seep invertebrates.
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are submarine springs where nutrient-rich fluids emanate from the sea floor. Vent and seep ecosystems occur in a variety of geological settings throughout the global ocean and support food webs based on chemoautotrophic primary production. Most vent and seep invertebrates arrive at suitable habitats as larvae dispersed by deep-ocean currents. The recen...

متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
