Dude, look at the map. They have Bay St Louis directly west of south pass, about where Southwest Pass would be.

Random e-mail from someone at BP:
quote:
I feel that [my guess??] they were cementing a liner. They have had losses while cementing and did not pay attention to the trip tank . We all have had losses while cementing a liner but you have to keep going and hope that some of the cement is coming up and not all going to the shoe. First losses then good returns when they thought they were getting it all back. This could be from a gas influx while there was no returns coming above the liner lap.
The man mentions two big bumps. My guess; gas had hit the riser and was hauling arse for the surface. Someone may have tried to close rams with pipe coming out of the hole?? Blind shear will not do shite on moving pipe except bust the shears?? The riser has taken a load of expanding gas and collapsed. This is why there was gas / oil at the surface so fast. I think they busted up so much equipment with shock / riser collapse the rams have been ineffective??
I could go on all day but the ones that know for sure have been lost so BP will have their say with what happened.

You're late bro. I was calling for Harry to drill the relief well pages ago.

If the wellhead is lost, oil could leave the well at a much greater rate, perhaps up to 150,000 barrels -- or more than 6 million gallons per day -- based on government data showing daily production at another deepwater Gulf well. By comparison, the Exxon Valdez spill was 11 million gallons total. The Gulf spill could end up dumping the equivalent of 4 Exxon Valdez spills per week.

In all seriousness, shouldn't the 101st and 82nd Airborne be depolyed into the marshes to help with clean-up? Also, National Guard batalions from around the country? At least those not in combat zones. I am not satisfied that the Feds completely understand what is about to happen.

quote:Whoever wrote that story is an idiot. They based the 150,000 bbl/d rate on Thunderhorse total platform production. Thunderhorse has more than one well. What are they upto these days, 5 completions? I think it's got like 25 total (dry+SSTB) slots?

...from the alarmist article...

Minerals Management Service data indicates that the deepwater Thunderhorse production platform, also owned by BP, has produced up to 150,000 barrels per day.

Will this be a good excuse to open up spill ways and divert the Miss river into the marshes more?
