[/quote] Company man alert, he's spewing his load on every LA thread. Beware the quick fix. I think every one here is a lot smarter than to buy your line... [/quote] I don't know, man. I mean, you've got a pressure problem, right? Have you got a better idea? [/quote] What happens when these five or six other wells cannot be capped either? I don't know the solution, but alot of wise people here who don't co-opt the name Einstein - They are pondering the solutions, but in the mean time, those people need to be relocated at the oil man and politicians who allowed this mess expense. Their safety is the first issue. The second step is what every one here beside dr e is trying to do, consider all the variables(and there are many)and proceed cautiously...Thinking before you act is a wise course of action. [/quote] There is always the possibility that we don't have the tech to take of it. In that case move folks out of the way and then get serious about it. I don't think everyone would fault them for that I mean at least they are trying. Meh, I don't know either. [/quote] precisely. with all that pressure i think the oil is leaking out between the outside of the casing and the rock. actually, they probably expected this to happen, with all the pressure involved. but i think they were hoping it wouldn't happen. now they have no choice but to drill 3 or 4 wells into the reservoir to harvest the gas and oil, which is the only way they can get the pressure low enough to stop the leak around the damaged riser (from 2010) [/quote] Or what if in fact all of that oil is holding something up? That's probably got more than a couple of sets of teeth grinding together right about now. But it looks like the situation has us backed into a corner, well almost. We're going to have to get off of the pot pretty soon [/quote]

I work for a mobile instrumentation company In Beaumont Texas. We service instruments that communicate wirelessly in several different fields and industries. This weekend we received over 140 Calls for instrumentation checks and calibration, All of which were natural gas wells. Is anyone seeing anything like this in other areas?
