I think David used the plants/animals/insects of the planet to experiment on. The first weapon we saw shot out of pods. So he possibly cultivated some plant to host the face highers. The seem to open like a flower. ...

re: So we can't drill...

I've been wondering about this for months. I'm in the ROV industry. Subsea 7 won a contract to provide 30 ROV systems to Petrobras in Brazil. Subsea 7 doesn't own 30 ROV's to provide. They would have to have them built by a third party. There also isn't 30 rigs to put these ROV's on. Only one ...
I think their concern is the valves may cause back pressure down towards the reservoir. It would not be a good thing if the valves were closed and the reservoir pressure caused the oil to fissure outside of the well string....

re: BP underwater camera at the leak

The standard configuration for ROV's are SD camera's. The problem is cost/availability of the subsea HD camera's, and transmitting the video to the surface(via fiber optics in their umbilical). You also have a problem in just trying to get quality SD video streaming over the satellite links. HD v...
Great link. Check out the well control article. ...

[quote]there is a report that BP needed to remove some kind of expensive, synthetic mud in the riser for another job and that this mud was then exchanged for seawater. the guy on the radio interview did say that a workboat was on location offloading mud through a hose and that boat was later involve...

[quote]quote: Probably not much different. The only thing restricting flow now is a kink in the riser. If it bridged over and came around the casing the flow would probably be less. More restrictive than flowing through nice clean pipe as it is now. I think you're wrong[/quote] A...

There's a picture in the first few pages of this thread showing one of the leaks. There's no definitive way to gauge flow out of the well. Without controlling the well, alot of the variables in the equation can't be know...I would think....
Fairly regular intervals. In between wells, they are serviced and tested heavily. When they are on the well, tests are regularly scheduled to fit in between drilling operations. I think after a casing section has been cemented, before they drill out of the casing and make new hole....
I'm pretty sure the LMRP is still on the BOP. There are hydraulic reservoirs that have been put on the sea floor for the ROV's to use in their operations with the BOP. Deepest Atmospheric Dive Suit (hardsuit) dive is 2000', I think, to date. U.S. Navy. The BOP get's lowered to the sea floor ...

Same thing happened here playing MW2. Did you get your disk out? If not, hold down the disk button while turning the power on in the back. Worked for mine. There's a few tricks on youtube you can try; but, none of it looks to be a sure thing. The heat gun on the chips seems to only last a cou...

It was automatic when I started the game last night. Good stuff. Never got to PFC though. When I went to multi-player menu, probably 30 trophies popped up successively in the right hand top corner of the screen. I can't find them now though. Mebee they're my profile for BFBC website?...
