Many Thanks to CoTiger, Oilfieldtiger, TigerFred for keeping this thread full of good info.
And several others. Overall, this has been a very good thread with thoughtful answers to folks that are pretty much ignorant on things in the oil related field (me).
Thanks to all for your patience with questions that may be simple and obvious to some of you.

The biggest thing I have learned is main stream is more pathetic than I ever thought.

I know they are able to stay down for very long time frame. On a lot of jobs they send out a 6 man crew to run the sub 24 hours a day

OK that's sad ... and the seller's location I caught is MIAMI ... those weren't tar balls from the spill if I remember correctly.

CNN tv has a different feed, they are showing the end of the pipe with oil pouring out

Is that gas coming out? I am talking about the small whitish streams.

Any chance they are trying to pump a spacer? I don't see how,but I wish they were.

Question for any cement dudes (or gals). Is there a cement they can pump that will set up even if contaminated with drilling mud?
Posted on 5/28/10 at 10:27 pm to JudgeHolden
If I learned anything on this thread ...and I may have this wrong but I think that are trying to get to a 0 pressure on the well with the mud before using the cement. No 0 pressure no using cement.

Yeah, yeah, I know. But a guy can dream, can't he?
Does anybody know if there is any way they could pump cement into a flow? What have they go to lose if they are going to cut off the riser and put a grommet on it anyway?

mud leaves a water/filmy residue on the pipe that the cement cant stick to. That is why they needed the spacer to set the cement

Whitish stream on the right half becoming more prominent.

I was afraid you were going to say that.

I am not reading through what all has been going on so far tonight, so I will just ask......
My expertise is not offshore, but on land.
What are they trying to do right now, send down a slug of some sort to try and kill the well?
I have not followed anything on tv today, which is why I ask.

Im guessing again but I would say that if they just used the cement.
A) it would blow out of the riser
B) It might prevent them from placing a new BOP on top of the old one
C) I dont think it will matter or anything will work untill more resistance is provided on the riser end.
D) and most likely I dont have a clue.
