THIS NEEDS A SUPER PIN!!


This story is huge,i have just done some reading on this baby and it is huge!

Read this little bit.

Elgin-Franklin is the world's largest High-Pressure / High-Temperature (HP / HT) development. Due to the extreme reservoir conditions – an initial pressure of approximately 1,100bar and temperatures of 190°C and complex geological structures – the fields pose a considerable development challenge.

Brought on-stream in 2001, by March 2002 the fields had achieved peak production of 140,000 barrels of condensate and 485 million cubic feet of gas a day.

In 2003 a new, record-breaking well was developed from the Elgin-Franklin platform to the West Franklin reservoir, which is the hottest, highest-pressure reservoir in the world. The well was drilled to a depth of 6,100m and stepped out 1.5km to tap an accumulation with a temperature of 197°C and a pressure of 1,155bar.

Just the fact that NO_ONE is on board now indicates how dangerous this really is.
