Here is a products page that will give you a better idea of the workings of the flex joint used on BOPs.
It’s location on the BOP will be obvious when you see it again, in the ROV video.

Look @ the velocity of the leak in the bottom right of Skandi ROV2.

Yeah, the saw attempt really "helped", eh? Imagine opening this thing all the way and then trying to put a 'top hat' over it.

Re: OMG OCEAN FLOOR JUST OPENED UP!!!!!!!!!AND camera 8 on fire???
How come if I am sitting on the bp ;ive feed at this link
[link to www.bp.com] and I scroll up and down I go back and forth between the two cameras in the same viewing area?


dont know what you mean



If I am at that link and watching the camera I can see both feeds...one of which is frozen, the other is the hyge billowing oil clouds etc... Anyway, I can switch back and forth to both camera views simply by scrolling my mouse up and down...the actual internet page doesnt move, just the video screen,


OK...jaysus eff...it has stopped allowing me to do so now...but that is what it WAS doing....and I am not on hallucinagenics....

I tried to screencap it and it only pasted the LIVE feed into my photoshop, which has NEVER happened before when screencapping a live feed. Now the screens are black!

damned

The link you gave is very helpful. Do you happen to know what size the one we're looking at is in comparison to the one in the link?

Thank you....I was thinking it was just me! Never experienced anything like it. I was expecting a pic of my screen...not the live feed ongoing within the printscreen...strange all around.

I wish I was on a mac so I could just record it though hf

It looks like Pincher-Rex is either at 500 feet or 500 meters -- and not moving.

Looks like they are going through testing procedures.

Are they making it level out horizontally so they can crimp the top of the BOP?

Geeze, if that massive Pincher thing can't get the riser in it's grasp... we are f...d. I had a girl friend once who could have opened that wide, but I don't know how to contact her.

I don't think they are going to use it on top of the riser. I have a feeling they may cut the rest of the pipe that is hanging off of it to the left.

My guess to have a cleaner cut with out the weight hanging off the side of it for the diamond cutter. Thus giving it a smother and cleaner cut. I am only speculating here.

I'm pretty sure they will be cutting the riser just above the flange so they can put the top hat on it instead of the lmrp cap that was supposed to seat upon the clean cut riser.

Shoot...they also mentioned using the valves they used to inject the mud in reverse and suck the oil and gas up that way. I wonder why they aren't doing that now?

They could crimp it closed and use the valves instead.
