Forget the other stuff for awhile and just pump mud for as long as you can at just enough pressure to keep the oil from coming out.


Not sure there is that much barite ready to go on the entire planet.

If I had less dignity, I would say "that's what she said." But no way I'm going to stoop to that. Not me.

my guess is the pipe exploded and we're now looking at bits of the pipe float of the way.

Do they have to come up periodically for maintenance or servicing?

Hell pump anything once you have the upwards flow stopped. At that point just need the pressure.

sometimes, but they regularly stay down for days. they also are recovered to surface to make changes to the tooling / what they're set up to do. they can be set up to do a wide variety of things, but not all at once.
