I dont understand how anyone could be confused enough to think hydrates would form inside the well under pressure an extreme temperatures. SRH seems to have accumulated alot of knowledge about the SOME of the details of deep sea drilling, but he's not an expert and he has a ways to go before he can put it all together where it makes sense in his own mind. The speculation that is going on here is more fear momgering than trying to come up with a real solution. I think if we put as much time into trying to come up with a solution as we did crying about the situation, it would already be solved.

Go home, Driller. Nobody thinks you are cool.
