ive changed my mind on this. BP needs to be hammered and I think they will...I never thought it possible that you could kill a major oil before but I think thats going to happen.
I think they deserve to be and I believe that will happen.

I'll try to post up some picture's of a LMWP (Lower Marine Workover Package)tomorrow which is almost the same thing as a LMRP only smaller and is used in the production mode.Leave a comment:

Lurefisher, the subsea control systems I'm building now are designed to prevent these type's of accidents from happening....( in the production mode ) we can close in the well and unlatch in 10 seconds in 10,000 ft water depth and move off location..This accident happened during the drilling operation and a blowout preventer is designed to close in the well before it blows out........once it blows out all bets are off...there is nothing designed to control it once the rig is gone and the damage has been done.Leave a comment:

Yeppers been right beside you Sneeky on some of that work doing the imbiblicals{SP HEHE LOL} that"s what it sounded like when them big wigs would ask you "are you with the umbilicals guys" my Favorite step of my job was working on them Dive boat's,most hated it I liked it .i fished my arse off every CAL DIVE BOAT made with Corndog. It was always fun to go set in the dive shack's and watch the divers and rov's turning your tools to them Well'sLeave a comment:

Heck yea, I had 12 world records of oil completions for water depth back in the day..Starting in the early 90's with Popeye,Pompano,Kings Peak,Canyaon Express...we were doing deep water completions in 7000 ft water depth in the mid 90's.I have first oil from (Shell,Mensa) (BP Trokia,) Canyon Express, Popeye,pompano just to name a few.20 years in deep water completions and still building state of the art subsea control systems.Leave a comment:

Lurefisher there's nothing to seal on top of the LMRP (Lower Marine Riser Package).The LMRP or (Lower Marine Riser Package0 is run and retrieved with a Tree Cap,they just modifyed a tree cap and installed vents.That is the same configurition of trees and LMRP that I ran on the BP Trokia well's.I have run dozens of this same equipment when I was doing open water interventions. Trokia, Mansa, Thunderhorse are all using this equipment for the LMRP.Leave a comment:

I would like to see all that oil go to Florida or Texas.So much easier to clean off the beach instead of the Marsh.If there still using shovels and rake's to clean they haven't got much oil to clean...heck I have to pull a sweeper behind my mower just to clean leaves out of my yard,because a shovel and rake don't make any sense.Leave a comment:

They had run the tree cap Thursday night and had it locked in place then,but left the vent holes open so hydrates wouldn't form.They will be removing this small tree cap and replacing for a larger one in the next few weeks. These tree cap's will not capture all of the oil and gas and I'm sure some vents will still need to be left open to prevent hydrates from forming.Corndog and I have a friend out on the Enterprise the DP rig doing the work on the well.Leave a comment:
