If they are taking all the other rigs offline in the area. How are they going to provide for relief drilling in the area?
[QUOTE=tadwall;31732]No doubt all of you gents in the field already know this, but in the news today:
Diamond Offshore has ceased operations on and evacuated semi Ocean Endeavor due to the crude oil slick resulting from the destruction of Transocean semi Deepwater Horizon. The Ocean Endeavor was working with ExxonMobil in Mississippi Canyon Block 211, less than 10 miles from the Deepwater Horizon’s last position in Mississippi Canyon Block 252. Evacuations on the Ocean Endeavor were completed on April 26 and the rig is now idle on location. A timetable for when the unit can resume drilling has not yet been established.
The Deepwater Horizon’s Macondo well has created an oil slick of various levels of sheening, approximately 48 miles by 39 miles at its widest point, 30 miles off the coast of Venice, Louisiana.

The Endeavor was working on some intervention / recompletion work on Exxon’s block. Should be an interesting conversation with BP about who pays![/QUOTE]
