TOP KILL WILL NOT WORK

The weight of the MUD has to equal or be greater than the force of the well. They are losing a load of pressure through those leaks. They haven't been able to get enough MUD weight in the well to overcome the well pressure yet, because if they had it would be cement time and you wouldn't see anything leaking from those holes. Time will tell, but it looks to be in vain.


good post and you are thinking it out

after they started with what they are calling the Top Kill they had to know the well DP pressure

they worked for a week rebuilding the BOP the best they could with the ROVs

they knew that they would hit the BOP and piping with extra pressure

they are now pumping the mud at a positive pressure vs well head DP pressure allowing mud to flow positive into the well head

of course your going to see massive mud flow at a higher rate than the oil flow you saw before they started this process

they are trying to weight the well head to gain some well head pressure control and then start the cement process





they have heavy mud and they also have a well that because it is positive venting is as substantialy higher pressure than the sea at that depth

as such in order to stop the leak they need to push in enough mud to overcome the Delta P of the well

fine if they start hafway down the "straw" as the positive pressure willpush the mud up the straw until sufficient mud head is in place.

Hwever they are startin near the uncapped top of the straw.

i.e. near the opening to sea

how are they going to pump enough material in to overcome the oil pressure when they have an opening nearer to the mud insertion point that is at far lower pressure. All the mud will take the path of least resistance and flow straight back out of the lower pressure opening.

Thanks ice, I'm across the gulf here at Gulf Shores, so I hope they get it stopped and maybe clean up what's coming on shore or left in the water. This has been and will be some more job to undertake.

sheesh...if someone speaks truth, i don't care who or what they are or how they look

We're screwed...royally. Imagine 9 months of this.

i can't see this video...can someone please tell me where the link can be accessed. thanks.

they used salt water back then and now they are using drilling mudd. we shall see

Also...

The truth is surfacing.. the only weird thing is that most of it is coming straight from the MSM... Scares the shit out of me!

well that leak was like in 170' deep.. this one is a mile deep...

isn't bentonite used in drilling mud ??
isn't it sticky ??
clings to oil maybe ??

Fox news reporting that bp states the top kill has worked! cementing to start soon! Looking for a hard link...

Man I really hope so...

Seriously.... can someone turn off this B-Movie?

'Top kill' operation to plug Gulf oil spill is going as planned, BP says, By Jaquetta White, The Times-Picayune, May 26, 2010, 9:03PM

Just looking at the plumes isn't very reassuring yet, though.

The mud is inching down the hole, it seems.

They were told but no proof yet. Besides they even showed the oil leak still gushing but they say it's mud flowing.

Sorry to spoil your doom but it will work.

How can they put cement in a well shooting out 50000 barrels of mud a day. Do they think we are stupid. Look at the damn thing, it's still gushing.

Watch all of it.

I don't watch anything mainstream but this alone is freaky.

We're in a goddamn timeshift if you ask me.
