The BP Deep water horizon, Macondo Well Blowout. and what we are facing in the Gulf.

dear 'freethinker'

I agree with your strategic analysis. the singular objection would be in the interplay between the national oil companies and their interdependence on the production ratios for distillate formation. in essence PDVSA ADNOC GAZPROM SAUDIARAMCO etc all deal with one another....if the infrastructure itself is compromised then the agressor in such action would have to answer to MANY different countries. Still the question remains if someone would be that stupid. We shall see.

Dear 'shr'

First thankyou for your work as a 'Mod'. This is my 1st official monikered post on GLP. I have posted numerous other times in various threads regarding oil and gas as an 'AC'.I have followed GLP however as a reader for years. After reading trinity's thread on population control of GLP essentially ... I decided to sign up.

My statements in the past as an ''AC'' have been well received by others and would like to repeat myself.

I believe the problem in the gulf is not relegated to one BOP.

I believe its systemic in nature and that this is only the beginning of a breakdown in antiquated equipment.

I am more concerned about purposeful destruction of existing underwater well head machinery by terrorist organizations or rogue states.

Where'd those North Korean subs go?

Think they aren't paying attention to the expense and horror of this event?

THe oroginator of thise thread is not an oilfield person. That's obvious by these words "have to turn the drill".

No-one even remotely connected to an oil rig calls it a "drill".

This is what you hear on TV. You "drill" a well..... but that's the only place that term is used.

You most cetainly don't "turn the drill".

Can anyone oil/tech types vet the probability of this comment (which is from another forum and is related to the link below):

Schlumberger crew 'left rig hours before blast'

Comment from the Oil Drum:


BP contracted Schlumberger (SLB) to run the Cement Bond Log (CBL) test that was the final test on the plug that was skipped. The people testifying have been very coy about mentioning this, and you'll see why.

SLB is an extremely highly regarded (and incredibly expensive) service company. They place a high standard on safety and train their workers to shut down unsafe operations.

SLB gets out to the Deepwater Horizon to run the CBL, and they find the well still kicking heavily, which it should not be that late in the operation. SLB orders the "company man" (BP's man on the scene that runs the operation) to dump kill fluid down the well and shut-in the well. The company man refuses. SLB in the very next sentence asks for a helo to take all SLB personel back to shore. The company man says there are no more helo's scheduled for the rest of the week (translation: you're here to do a job, now do it). SLB gets on the horn to shore, calls SLB's corporate HQ, and gets a helo flown out there at SLB's expense and takes all SLB personel to shore.

6 hours later, the platform explodes.

Pick your jaw up off the floor now. No CBL was run after the pressure tests because the contractor high-tailed it out of there. If this story is true, the company man (who survived) should go to jail for 11 counts of negligent homicide.

Thoughts?

If anyone is willing to read all the B.S. and all the 5 stars to this post, you would see it is B.S.

Same as this radiation doom will end up being as well.

Just like the Swine Flu doom...

Or the stock Market doom in Spring ot 2008...

etc...

or was it the "Summer of Hell"

...

Ha ha! This is the thread that came up when I googled the well blowout.

This is how I found GLP.

What a blast from the past!

Whatever happened to SHR? I haven't seen him around in a looooonnng time.
