Thread: 'Top kill' fails, BP moves on 'to next option'

You should swim down there and delt smash it

not from what the interview of the engineer on the rig said. he said the BP guy was trying to speed up the process.

I think you misinterpreted what I said. I understand that a quick fix is non existent.

Yea that should hold an oil rig pretty well Not to mention two guys just sinking to the bottom of the ocean vs actual manipulation

Who the fuck is upset about the Barnett shale and why?

Would have sunk regardless

I was wondering more about the pressure at the ocean's surface (5K feet) due to the water.

On those kind of distance scales, you have to take into account a non-uniformity of density

ohhhh well fucking shit we're all on the same page then

i'm just talking about external pressures...

i'd hope the BOPs are rated for absolute insane internal pressures, who knows the kind of conditions they encounter on the inside.

super high internal pressures + unusually high (compared to other wells) external pressures = shit fucks up?

no idea but... yeah.

how'd they come to that conclusion?
