BP makes second attempt to cut off riser

Ohh... and the 'annulars' are in the BOP, not below the sea floor.

The annulars are pipes within pipes below seabed, with the centre pipe being the riser, the come together in the bop and are fed by the smaller pipe cut yesterday....I might be wrong

An 'annular' can be opened and closed from the drilling platform. That's how it/they got damaged. They had closed it/them for a pressure test and somebody accidentlally moved the drill string.

The annular is one of the seals which is intended to close around the drill stem. How do you suppose they would install one of those below the sea floor?

The 'center' pipe is the drill stem.

BP stock price tumbling to 36.57 a share...

THIS is what BP is scared about, not the leak.


Exactly, Nothing but a bunch of criminals.

BP's safety violations far outstrip its fellow oil companies. According to the Center for Public Integrity, in the last three years, BP refineries in Ohio and Texas have accounted for 97 percent of the "egregious, willful" violations handed out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The violations are determined when an employer demonstrated either an "intentional disregard for the requirements of the [law], or showed plain indifference to employee safety and health."

OSHA statistics show BP ran up 760 "egregious, willful" safety violations, while Sunoco and Conoco-Phillips each had eight, Citgo had two and Exxon had one comparable citation.
