LIVE from 5,000 below on the Gulf floor!

With Hurricane season there now...it will be interesting to see how 1,000's of square miles with washed up oil inland will look like.

I don't wish this to happen to anyone...but maybe it will include one or the other mansion belonging to someone important.

The next Hurricane is gonna get the oil far inland somewhere!

Why not build a cap over the whole thing....It lines up perfectly...

All you need is a female cap and cover the whole male well head.And make a perfect seal with the female cap over the male.

I perfectly agree with you and what you wrote was suggested somewhere in an earlier post as well.


Or just unbolt the cut flange and replace it with a dead end one.


Unfortunately doing it that way seems to be just too easy to perform?

Well, I've read we've got about 12,000 psi coming out of the head. Every square inch of fluid and material is blasting out with 12,000 pounds of force. When capped, we don't know if the well bore will hold. Fissures in the shale could cause irreparable leaks.

Then you have a blowout valve located somewhere along the pipe...To blow out excess oil...until you make a transfer to the next holding tank.it'll be messy with a blowout valve ..better via switching to holding tanks.


Anyways.....today on the news...It Said That they are drilling onto the sides with 2 drilling rigs...they are 25% and 47% ahead of schedule to slow or stop the spilling of oil in August.

The comment was in response to capping the well. Not only is the pressure to great to cap, even if we could we'd risk damage to the well bore and/or well ceiling.

Yeah, that's good news. I hear one of the wells is withing 2000' of target. They might get a chance to seal the well bore before August.

Craziest thing I've ever seen.^

Hmmmm.... check this out:


It's all about the buck, not about a f*cked up eco system - for YEARS to come!

BP — It's good for business!

In-house corporate magazines are supposed to make the company look good, but The Wall Street Journal is asking whether Planet BP, the oil company's organ, is smoking something:

n Planet BP — a BP online, in-house magazine — a "BP reporter" dispatched to Louisiana managed to paint an even rosier picture of the disaster. "There is no reason to hate BP," one local seafood entrepreneur is quoted as saying, as the region relies on the oil industry for work.
Indeed, the April 20 spill on the Deepwater Horizon is being reinvented in Planet BP as a strike of luck.
"Much of the region's [nonfishing boat] businesses — particularly the hotels — have been prospering because so many people have come here from BP and other oil emergency response teams," another report says. Indeed, one tourist official in a local town makes it clear that "BP has always been a very great partner of ours here…We have always valued the business that BP sent us."
Fortunately the articles — on which BP declined to comment — don't go as far as praising that new treat: seasonal shrimps in (crude) oil.

Clearly the commodity exchanges are subject to being manipulated and have and in likelihood are continuing to be manipulated. Consider that more than 137 billion barrels of oil were traded on the Nymex alone last year. That is not counting all the other exchanges throughout the world referred to above. And yet the world consumes barely 30 billion barrels of oil annually.

In other words, big oil sells to speculators who sell to more speculators, maybe even back to big oil. All the while, no product is delivered. The market price is being raised by phantom trade. What we pay is in part based on market activity that never took place except on a ticker.

If you think this is "just" a Gulf of Mexico disaster and it won't effect you because you live somewhere inland watch this.

And out there in the Gulf where the oil is they haven't even had a storm (Hurricane) yet churning it really up bringing all the shit up in the air!

Here is one more, the cause could be the dispersants they use on the oil, could be not.

Scary either way!

Cool stuff to watch going on right now.

They are changing out the "Top Hat".

Go to the live video links on 1st page or click this one, no need to install the additional software. Works just fine without it.

Thanks dood

This is what they are going to do:

They unscrewed the flange with the damaged pipe and are going to stick in the new one (see pic) and bolt it back on eliminating any further leakage.

Makes me wonder why they haven't done that earlier.

Here's a pretty good video demonstration of the capping process with perspective from Robert Cavnar.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Wow excellent find!

And yeah WHY did "they" not do this earlier? Just why?

[DiscoBiscuit]

You're right, SH. The article states that BP says this was one of their first ideas. That's the bad thing about being so hush-hush. Even if BP's response is legit, (albeit incompetent) keeping things on the down low makes them look even worse.

because it probably wont work. the depth they drilled to in the earth under the ocean is pushing it out at 100,000 lbs per square inch. We do not have the engineering to seal this leak. If they get it sealed like this is will be a miracle.
