| Jos User ID: 311931 United States05/15/2010 12:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes you just gotta think BIG, like if all else fails! Take a newly constructed oil tanker, one about the size of a football field. Wedge the tanker between two aircraft carriers. Install BOP's on the top of the tanker. Take out the bottom of the tanker. Winch the tanker down over the gusher, so the gusher and everything attached to it is covered by the tanker. Let the oil and gas displace the water inside the tanker hull, keep the BOP's open while the feed pipes are attached. When the feed pipes are attached start feeding the gush through them to surface tankers. The shear volume and size of the tanker should provide an adequate space to start capturing the oil and gas immediately and provide time to attach the feed pipes. If necessary run feed lines all the way to shore and start filling previously exhausted oil wells, say, in Texas and Louisiana. Problems of epic proportions require epic solutions. |

These are not relief wells nomatter what the article called them. there is NO intent to attempt to relieve pressure through these wells. BP claims they intend to seal up the blown out well and never use it again. |

| SHR (OP) Forum Administrator 05/15/2010 12:23 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | they cant do much with the drill string in the hole. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 970802that is why the rams won't work- too much lateral pressure. hope the relief well works 1st time or it could go on literally for years. The bop is designed to cut the drill string...not tool joints, but there cannot be a tool joint in front of every ram...and there are 4 sheer rams in this one...I don't think they know exactly why it failed, but I'm sure THAT will heavily investigated...I;ve bad configs...the rig didn't have updated schematics...maybe a test ram in there instead of a working ram...so who really knows why...I know when they test it...they don't usually test is with an actual drill string in there...so a lot of things could have went wrong... ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 970513 United States05/15/2010 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Plugging it up is definitely of the utmost concern but we must also consider those behind it to be of equal or more importance. Remember how Larry whatever banked huge money from the property of the WTC buildings? Goldman Sachs is said to have done something similar with this oil spill. It makes one wonder. Does someone know the future? Or does someone know something we don't? Either way, this and the coming events all point to humanity needing to come together and voice our unity as One. All else will fail IMO. We are all beginning to understand the magnitude of this event. Those who dismiss it will know soon. |
| J.H.F.C. User ID: 889802 United States05/15/2010 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SHR, I commend you for your indepth analysis and knowledge of this subject. I am a layman in this science, but I do known that Mother Nature can be as dire as anything we know of. And I assume you are old enough to remember the famous TV slogan, "It's not NICE to fool Mother Nature." What you are saying (and quite correctly) is that this fucken thing could blow bigger than Mt. St Helen's. One thing that I do know is my psychic self, and I can tell you, I've been working overtime trying to let off some steam. In short, this is big. Really big. May the Force Be With You Always And may God have mercy on us all.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 971027 United States05/15/2010 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I keep thinking there must be a way to freeze the flow out. If hydrates are present they must be near the leak ( first containment box froze up on the sea bed) Maybe they need a similar box to do just that, FREEZE UP. Once the box is completly froze the leak should also be ? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 962698 Australia05/15/2010 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The important question is how much oil is under the leak. Quoting: SHR... Remaining proved reserves Oil 2,203 Gas 3,401 Unproved reserves Oil 651 Gas 1,935 [link to www.gomr.mms.gov] That would be in 30 proved fields and 10 unproved fields in 2005. (2,203+651)/(30+10)=71.35 million barrels per field average 2203/30=73.43 2006 figures: [link to www.gomr.mms.gov] Table 1 2175 million barrels proved oil reserves 3166 cubic feet proved gas 563 unproved oil 1936 unproved gas 40 proved fields 10 unproved fields 32.24 - 54.375 million per barrels per field average [link to news.yahoo.com] BP has not said how much oil is beneath the Gulf seabed Deepwater Horizon was tapping, but a company official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the volume of reserves, confirmed reports that it was tens of millions of barrels — a frightening prospect to many. "tens of millions" = 10-99 million If it IS "tens of millions", then it cannot become the biggest oil disaster in history. [link to www.foreignpolicy.com] [link to en.wikipedia.org] If it is billions of barrels, then things look a lot worse. |
