[QUOTE=alcor;39389]What an extraordinary statement to make. Those of us who believe in the offshore oil industry’s survival want to know the truth of the events the days prior to the disaster struck.
[B]One of the truths is that they decided not to circulate casing contents 120% or till gas free, If I’m not mistaken. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
[/B]
We can all speculate about the failures. One fact is this: BP, are doing every possible thing to right the wrong.
[B]Most sincere- considering several people have not been paid yet for partaking in cleaning up BP’s mess.[/B]
I guarantee all of you that there is much more to be revealed. Revealing some of that information may compromise the efforts to drill the relief well due to TO’s implication.
[B]Do you mean like insisting people must wear PPE before taking a walk on the beach for fear of revelation, but disallowing workers to wear breathing masks.[/B]
Those who work in the industry understand ‘last line of defense’, and who has the responsibility to take action.
[B]Those who work in the industry also understand ‘first lines of defense’ - proper well planning minus cost cuttings[/B] [B]done by intelligent engineers with ethical standards.[/B]
Those who want to simply fill their car without any understanding and appreciation of the dangers in the oil industry should hold their comments for other media outlets.
[B]Filling my car does not make me complicit to gross negligence or condone blatant lying to the public.[/B]
Wild statements without any basis for fact are the media’s attempt to understand an industry which is so dynamic every well drilled is different.
[B]Too right mate. MC252 sure was different . You hit the nail right on the head there.[/B] T[B]his well will go down in history.[/B] If fact where I’m at the catch cry for any engineer with a slack attitude is “A Macondo”. Looks like this will join the oilfield dictionary alongside terms like worm, etc to allude to a slack ass in the office.
I hope this discussion thread is designed for those with intimate knowledge of the industry, and particularly, operations from Semi-Submersible vessels. This is what the investigation is all about.
[B]I do not run this forum but I’d rather this discussion is open to everyone and encourage even school kid s to participate and pose question to BP on this forum.[/B] [B]Reason being kids ask the most honest questions because they are innocent like all that wildlife suffering a slow death. Besides I’d like to see how deranged BP low life respond to kids questions with lies.
[/B]
As for the rupture disks, I believe every Oil Operator that I know of would like to convert an exploration well to a Production well. Again, it’s extraordinary, that anyone thinks this is not possible. Do not mislead people with inaccuracies.
[B]Fair comment to make provided it is not done on the cheap by stupid well planners.[/B]

Welcome back Alcor. I was beginning to wonder if Corexit induced cancer in you yet. But then agian I knew that fetish you have for defending crooks would compel you to crawl out of that hole you and BP have dug for yourselves.
Do you think shutting in the well with the new cap is a good idea ? or would it risk surface broaching or underground blowout ? Your technical responses are always most entertaining. Thanks.
