Great Move: Rapid Response System

Oil Majors Develop Rapid Response System
While not in agreement with the moratorium, I think these are the kind of results from industry that the administration was hoping to get. These kind of initiatives also show that the industry is taking this accident (and sanctions) very seriously.
I also think it is awesome news for the Gulf to see this kind of commitment being made. I think that is a sign that these companies see a future in the GOM, despite how badly the administration has reacted to the BP spill in regards to shutting down the entire industry.
Discuss your thoughts.

I agree with you. It's a shame that it has to take a disaster to make people see the danger but that's always the way it is. Good move by the industry and hopefully it will get the moratorium lifted sooner.

some items remain.

BP stop opposing requirement for relief wells.
BP is STILL opposing Canada attempting to require relief wells, FROM NOW ON.

drilling a relief well simultaneously w/ the subject well essentially doubles your risk of having a severe incident while mitigating essentially nothing. it's been detailed numerous times on this board, specifically in response to your posts.
also, there is one specific part offshore in the canadian arctic where a second rig is required -- not an entire relief well -- because the area is so remote and it would be impossible to respond appropriately if the second rig wasn't in the area. there are wells drilling in the atlantic right now offshore canada and there is no simultaneous relief operations ongoing, only demonstrating to the canadian gov't that a rig is available in the basin to begin relief operations should it be necessary.
furthermore, there is no "opposition" to relief wells that can be mounted in the GOM. the department of the interior, through their notice to lessees #6 outlined what is expected of operators applying for new development plans in the gulf of mexico -- specifically outlining relief well plans, worst case blowout calculations, and anticipated relief well times. there's no way to "oppose" this, it is the way it is from now on.

What are your thoughts on the original subject in this topic? I'd love to hear what you think.

there is a history of joint industry spill response type stuff. this is just expanding it to a much greater scale, and in doing so greatly expands the costs needed to acquire the equipment and maintain the appropriate level of readiness. it's definitely a serious cost committment.
and when you start talking about the technologies involved in these kinds of subsea interventions, you really need a lot of horsepower to make it a reality.

Exactly. I have to start helping our drillers on relief well planning tommorrow. Its a fact of life now...nothing to oppose.
