Krispy71 User ID: 962920 Netherlands 05/29/2010 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BP suspended drilling on the second of two relief wells intended to permanently seal the damaged well from the bottom, so that its blowout preventer will be available should the top kill fail, Suttles said. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 952982In that event, BP will saw off a section of crimped pipe from the top of the blowout preventer of the leaking well, install the second blowout preventer atop the first, and close its valves to halt the leak. That will take several days, and in the interim, engineers plan to cover the sawn-off pipe with a temporary cap designed to direct some of the oil to a ship on the surface, Suttles said. see it's that easy, folks So that was the sawing about ... Well I hope they will have better crew to control the handles, otherwise its going to take till X-mass till the pipe is of !!! They should have done this the next day after the explosion .. that way the sea would have been much less poluded and all. THEY JUST MESSED UP and took more time then was needed. Let a court sentence them for jail ! BP and the governement did not ALL that was needed in the moment, they lost to much time and are therefore guilty off POLUTION and not acting fast and concrete enough ! (Or ... they did so becoz there IS an agenda and playbook to live up to ) |
