You know what's ironic?
MMS would jump your shite for dumping even small quantities of mud into the Gulf. Now, it's a blessing (if it works).

I am guessing there are quite a few people viewing this thread to get good information, so we might should keep the back and forth chit chat stuff to a minimum.

It is a synthetic drilling mud.

Nope ...
Dup, in the CNN link with 6 screens are the others looking ok? Any signs of any problems?
Dup, we're rice farmers too!

My guess would be that the synthetic was heavier. I don't really know.

it's really good not to see any visible leaks at the connections they put together enterring the choke & kill lines.

it's hard to stop a train.....or in this case, an oil leak.

thanks. but it's blocked.

wont those connections be under even more pressure if/when the mud builds?

How much had to be done with the ROV things to be able to get to this point? I mean, what had to be assembled, screwed, bolted, whatever 5000 feet down?

From just below the rams, right?

nah. you can get the required density w/ either a water based on synethic system.
water based is cheaper and, probably more important, it's easier for mud companies to keep building volume at their plants near shorebases to ship out to them. this is gonna take a lot of mud.
water based would probably give you a better shot of having a cement plug set up in this situation too.

Does compressibility play into this decision?
