well hi, cm1 I was hoping to see you,tda…at the meeting
my internet service here isvery poor
real dumb question,but i m gonna ask anyway…
is that second pipe from the first well, they drilled, several months ago…but abandoned?? I mean, did they drill right next to it,??

[B][I][U]Once again the BP king of bullshit has struck. Is the bold dark type one of the new things you learned in BP propaganda class? Is that some new way to convince another 1.3 people out of a hundred that your bullshit is somhow more believable?

my next door neighbor, is british,retired, chevron,engineer,and sounds like alcor…lol we had, an interesting back/ forth conversation,< we re still good friends>
okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…good nite
may be just my old half-blind eyes, but the flow out that new stack don’t look nearly as strong as it has been. wonder if we been waiting for the flow to diminish before we put a stack on this thing that can accurately measure the flow. after all, i seem to remember something about the fine for spillage is dependant on the amount spilled??? should have had this stack on this thing the first week.
[QUOTE=alcor;39451]There’s absolutely no way the author could possibly know that 4.1 Bbls entered the well. I think he was using this figure to illustrate the effects of migrating gas, the force against the Hanger required to unseat it. The figures were very impressive, but there’s no way he could know the value to be 4.1 Bbls. It may be more, it may be less. What he suggested is that the open hole would absorb mud in the weak zone allowing the bubble pressure to reduce to a figure which would not have blown out the rupture disks, and would not have blown out the Hanger.
Everything is based on the premise that a weak zone absorbed the overpressure. The other school of thought is that the overpressure caused the cement to be pushed back into the hydrocarbon formation, again ensuring that the Hanger was not threatened.
We all ‘know’ or ‘think’ the Hanger was ejected. Personally, I don’t know. I suspect it has been ejected, but do not discount flow from the inside of the casing.
All the data will be revealed, and it may be that many of us have to rescind our negative comments and statements.
We are running rupture disks on surface casing tommorow. So, please do not be persuaded that they aren’t widely used to relieve pressure in a well that generates a great deal of heat, especially HPHT wells (High Pressure High Temperature).[/QUOTE]
Thanks for pointing that out dipshit. The only reason they are used is to relieve pressure is on wells that are intended to be brought into production. They are also completely isolated from any zone that is intended to flow hydrocarbons & you know that. You know damn good & well that your original argument was that BP did not intend to turn this well into a production well when the running of rupture discs was evidence they had every intention to flow it, which meant they had every responsibilty to properly seal off any possible flow paths from the flow zones to those casings & didn’t. Your attempts at revising & changing the subject matter of previous discussions/ arguments is quite obvious & pathetic for all to see.
You better hope that when/ if they try to close that cap & seal the well that it doesn’t blow the whole damn head off the casing or blow out the side of the casing. You can then wipe your ass with your BP stock certifiates because they’ll be as worthless as your opinions these days. Your idiot company will also be declaring war on the United States.

If your Gov’t had agencies to police the offshore industry then we wouldn’t be where we are today. Permission was granted to drill. Whoever gives that permission is the ultimate authority. Don’t look anywhere else.[/QUOTE]

I know that MMS failed in ensuring ALL Operators in the GOM had a Spill plan. They knew Thunderhorse was producing vast quantities of oil and gas, and yet, they as the ultimate Authority have the responsibility to ensure plans are in place. They give permits to drill. Better have a plan in place to counter wells like Thunderhorse.

The arguement is simple.
All exploration wells should be convertible by design. Otherwise you’ve wasted a lot of money.
It’ll be interesting to see if they are able to close in the well without the Disks rupturing. After all, you are the author of the suggestion that the well is flowing externally, and that casing has already failed. Perhaps, more inaccurate information. Have you ever considered becoming an investigative reporter…NOT!
By the way, Burst Disks have been used in HPHT wells.
And, don’t be so rude. Or I’ll make you grovel again!
BP to Start Test Today on Cap That May Stop Oil Spill
July 13, 2010, 10:38 AM EDT
July 13 (Bloomberg) – BP Plc plans to start testing today on a new cap over its leaking Gulf of Mexico well to determine whether it can stop the largest U.S. oil spill in history while continuing work on a permanent plug.
Starting about noon local time, a 40-foot (12-meter) stack of valves secured atop the well yesterday will shut off the flow of crude, BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells told reporters on a conference call. The test will measure pressure inside the well to determine whether the cap can remain in place without causing oil to burst uncontrolled through another opening.
BP seeks to halt the leak, estimated by the U.S. government at as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day, until its Macondo well can be plugged with cement next month. The London-based company said the new cap has pressure-monitoring equipment that wasn’t available in May, when it abandoned an effort to seal the well from above. Without that equipment, operators wouldn’t know if shutting the valves forced oil to gush out elsewhere.
“If the integrity says we need to open the well back up, we will immediately start collecting oil again” through a system piping crude to vessels on the surface, Wells said.
The Macondo well has been spewing oil into the ocean since an April 20 drilling-rig explosion that killed 11 workers. The Helix Producer I, a floating oil-production ship, was collecting crude at a rate of 12,500 barrels a day this morning, Wells said.

Since you are in love with BP so much, I’m sure that 100% of your retirement fund must be in BP stock. BTW, CM1 was very much into sarcasm at that time…

Couldn’t you just try and rejoice that if they manage to get this thing capped no further leakage will hopefully occur. Can’t you just change your tone and breathe a sigh of ‘Hope’. Everything you write is full of despair. It’s so ugly to listen to your need for vengeance constantly. I’m optimistic that the well will be controlled soon.

Rejoice? You are despicable. It is inconceivable to me that anyone believes your bull except YOU. I live down here thank you very much and I’ve had it with people like you who think they can just sh*t on anyone they feel like and I’m supposed to like it and you, I think not. BP may be the #1 driller but that will change. Not today or tomorrow, but look for it in your future, it’s coming.
