[QUOTE=New Orleans Lady;37502]cm1. The Scandi Neptune, appears like, the flow is more than I have ever observed, but again, I can’t over react to something, I have no knowledge. Now it really looks like 100k barrels,Again, I don’t want to sound like an alarmis. If anyone from bp sees this, could you please give us some info?[/QUOTE]
I’m guessing the flow from underneath the cap that we see varies depending on how much oil they’re collecting top side. If they have to reduce the capture rate or stop it temporarily for maintenance. That’s the reason Obama and company wants BP to build in redundancy into the system so if one platform has to quit capturing oil/gas for some reason, another platform can hopefully take up the slack to minimize the amount of oil and gas going into the ocean.
It sounds like their next step is to unbolt the crimped riser flange and bolt on a new flange with a direct connection that they can connect to topside. Then hopefully we won’t see any oil coming out. And we won’t have anything to watch! Which is a good thing!
