It looks to be in much better position now. Amazing if that is attached to a mile of cable.

Haven't been keeping up with this. Is this cut going to be between the BOP and the kink?

Wow, they just spanned up that monster. WOW The size of that thing simply amazes me. It makes that riser joint look like a twig.

Yep. Here we go. That riser shouldn't stand a chance!

No this cut with the shears is downstream of the kink. The cut between the BOP and kink will be done with a diamond saw.

So the kink that supposed to be restricting the flow (somewhat) is the one directly above the BOP. OK, gotcha.

By looking at the size of that shear, I thought the cut would've been made in a matter of seconds. This is taking all day................

Yes but... it isn't suppose to be the main restriction. Deep in the well they think there is restrictions as well as in the BOP itself.

I wonder if they are worried about the angle of the cut? Doesn't seem to be quite perpendicular. One would think it would self align as the shears close though.

I'm not sure but is the drill pipe also inside the riser at that point?
