sorry for the late reply.
My bad on confusing annulus and annular, and I pride myself on good word useage....I am so embarrased!
Ok, I think I get the general idea of the succesively smaller casing in the hole, all cemented in at some point.
The risers are bolted?? Is it a flange joint??
The choke, kil etc are smaller pipe of some sort I understand. how does the drill stem/pipe (the APT threaded stuff ive seen...about 4" od and very heavy wall) progress through the riser with all the other lines in the riser?
What space does the mud return to the rig through?
What goes through the BOP? ie casing, drill stem, riser, choke etc.
Oh yea, It sounds like the BOP is operated as a valve during certain procedures when I hear "open the annular" What am I missing.
Thank you for you response, in my opinion you are doing a very good job explaining, clear, concise, and precise!

This is the statement where you sounded to me that you had no clue about the planning and development of wells. They need to get the operation under control and then the investigation will determine who is at fault. BP will take the most fault over it I am pretty sure because it was on thier property. These companies have contracts where each indivudal company will pay the price for certian things during the event of a disaster.
I said that statement in response to someone who stated that operators and drillers have no idea what they are going to encounter when drilling wildcat wells, which is flat out untrue.

The center conductor is the riser...18.75" I think. The smaller lines around the riser are choke, kill, rigid conduit, boost lines.

they are on the outside of the riser running parellel to the main tube.
