OK ... TexTiga said he saw a leak ... perhaps being a smart arse ... I don't know ... now's not the time if he was.

the gooseneck that is attached to the choke/kill valve. it is where the cement will be pumped into the well bore.
no leak.
if there is a leak, you will see a notation on the rov camera. it has to be documented. they will type it on the screen for further records.
normally, at least.

top kill has nothing to do with the riser.

I assume so far so good. Wish they had multiple cams. I guess were lucky to have one.
Posted on 5/26/10 at 2:22 pm to tiger91
thought I saw some brown liquid by one of the couplings..... but I forget there is oil floating everywhere!
Posted on 5/26/10 at 2:22 pm to jose
oyster, dont think the color has changed much if any, but right now that is not the view we are getting...just some pipes and valves they are looking at.

Mud will come out of riser! So yes it does. If most of mud comes out with oil/gas flow top kill fails. That's why I asked!

CCN what you are looking at now is a live feed of TOP KILL!!!

they are pumping the cement inside the wellbore by pumping through the bop.

a.k.a. BOP Stack
Posted on 5/26/10 at 2:25 pm to tigerdup07
Are they pumping mud or cement?
Posted on 5/26/10 at 2:26 pm to TexTiga
They should have a second cam in the "control room" so we can see (maybe hear) reactions.
