if you watch the nola link it has valves that are open and they should close

good video,
looks like they are waiting for the oil to reach the ship then the rov's will close the valves

there is definitely less discharge into the GOM now than before. Remeber the plume that was flowing with that open riser.........this is much less IMHO

I can't see the video but I assume they are allowing the lighter gas and oil to displace the water before shutting the valves.

Thanks.
I'm just so damn desperate to see or hear some good news.
I'll sit back, drink another beer, watch, listen, and pray.

Not to put a damper on everyones potential happiness with the cap working...but this is only a band aid redirecting the plume...how do we actually STOP THE UNCONTROLLABLE LEAK OF OIL!!!!

I can't figure out what is going on with Enterprise ROV1.
There is oil coming from underneath and oil shooting out of an apparatus the ROV arm is holding?

thats one of the valves, the robot is supposed to close it once oil reaches the ship

Relief well. That's the only way to truly stop it.

So basically BP is going to spend the next three months saying "yeah theres still oil going into the ocean but hey, its less than it was before we put the band aid on. yah us!!" sorry to sound like a downer just sort of frustrated with the lack of a reliable plan before they even started drilling
Posted on 6/3/10 at 9:07 pm to tgrgrd00
I know one thing, those rov drivers are going need a nice long vacation after this shite is over, regardless of if it works or not.

Does anyone have a link for a vid feed with CHAT?

Your frustration is understandable and shared by many.

Same here! Thanks for the link, LEAST! will hang up and listen till the booze is gone...

Did some people really think the flow would just "stop"? What everyone here is watching is really an engineering marvel. It's not like you're unclogging a pump in the bottom of your pool.

yeah lets give this a little bit of time before we call it fail

The plan was approved by the Department of Interior. Surely you don't suggest our government could make a mistake?
