Living in Kansas the results of pumping oil or water out of the ground without replacing the the fluid results in sink holes. So I would think that would be possible in the ocean also.

Hi Group;
With all the geology geeks who hang around on here, I'm going to throw out a question and hope to get some kind of intelligent answer. I've been hearing from a number of sources that it is possible to damage the seafloor by removing oil from undersea reservoirs, and even cause seafloor collapse in extreme cases. Is this possible, or is this conspiracy theory. I ask the question because a number of people concerned about the Deepwater Horizon Oil Disaster are suggesting that this may be occurring at the site of the BP well blowout. I'd love to hear comments on this, especially from trained scientists.

We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is miracle and magic.
