I've got these live feeds up ... which one shows the new cap????
(I ask considering I don't know what the hell I'm looking at.)

Skandi ROV2

Skandi 2 shows the cap from a distance. Boa 2 shows a close up. Looks like we lost the Olympic feeds.

I thought the cap was ON already???? And the shot of the pressure gauge ... when they're ready, it going UP is a good thing, right??? At elast I think that's what i heard.

The cap is on, yes. There is no shot of the pressure gauge. That's all done upstairs.

Oly – ROV 1, sometime looks at a pressure gauge 2100psi last time
Posted on 7/14/10 at 5:39 pm to jeff967
That's A pressure gauge but it's not THE pressure gauge. It's just a gauge on an accumulator. I wonder how many people will be glued to that gauge waiting to see it go up.

I stepped out for an hour or so. What did I miss other than them shutting off the choke line?
Posted on 7/14/10 at 6:56 pm to MountainTiger
not a thing, thr gubermint is draging it out.
Posted on 7/14/10 at 7:16 pm to MountainTiger
oh and oneROV tightend up the flang on the choke side some
Posted on 7/14/10 at 7:17 pm to jeff967
Man, I'd give a toe to be able to see that pressure gauge right now.

what size do you think the "kill" pipe is mabe 4"?
Posted on 7/14/10 at 7:27 pm to jeff967
I was thinking 3" but yeah, it's somewhere in that range. The smaller pipe increases the velocity of the oil and really makes it look like the flow is much worse than it is.

that and the added back pressure, I wish they had the ok to go on and shut her in
Posted on 7/14/10 at 9:00 pm to jeff967
I sorta look at it the other way around; the back pressure is caused by the flowrate but I guess it doesn't matter. But I agree, I'm ready to take this party to the next level. They just closed off the 4th valve on that yellow manifold. I guess that means they are continuing the test.
