From the report I'm talking about, this wasn't the MW. 14.2 was the number that I saw.
look at the sperry-sun chart for the final 2 hrs of transmission available on the energy committee's website. the MW listed is 16.0 ppg being circulated. when you do the math for the depth they had the end of the cement stinger, this volume of 16 ppg works out to a riser margin.
on the final morning report from the day before, the MW listed when they finished diplacing the cement job was 14.0 ppg.
i see your points about morning report revisions the more people look at them, but i honestly don't think any of that went on. the internal BP email outlining their upcoming negative test, displacement and balanced plug indicates normal operations.
if there was truly something really bad brewing, i think there would be a papertrail of it w/ the internal documents, considering this was a keeper well and losing it due to a mechanical failure would be carry the huge price tag of a re-drill.
the only AM report i have seen is the one on the house website. it carries the action through displacing the cement job, setting the casing hanger seal assembly, testing same, POOH to surface w/ the running tool, and RIH w/ the 3 1/2" cement stinger. i saw nothing terribly out of the ordinary on the report.

I don't disagree with anything in your post and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary on the posted reports either. And I certainly hope that this is the case. I know both the guy who sent the email and who received it very well. I certainly hope that what I saw wasn't what it seemed to be.
By bringing this up more details came out that some may not have known. Thanks for taking the time to explain those things out!

I haven't been on the board since this Message Board started but my husband told me about it. He is involved in the offshore drilling industry.
I just want to tell you guys involved in the industry that I am constantly amazed at what you guys do. My husband tells me about what goes on out there -- he's been working in the industry for 30 years now and we've been married for 20+ of those years -- and it is just incredible.
Not meaning to minimize the significance of this event, for it is indeed significant. I think it is also significant that there has been so much drilling, production, P&A'ing, etc., out there without a major incident like this for so long -- those of you out there doing this work on a day in and day out basis deserve a huge shout out.
I've done my own share of trying to get people to stop the Chicken Little talk. This situation is what it is. It really doesn't matter if the initial evaluation of barrels being lost per day was accurate or not. The world is not at an end. Yes, animals will die and there will be some nasty asian. But at the end of the year (or next), we'll still be here (or at least I hope we will).
I am furious that politicians and others are using this incident as some sort of poster child for why there should be no offshore drilling (it's not as though they have an alternative they are willing to consider for our energy needs). As my husband so aptly put it at the beginning of the crisis, you don't shut down the airline industry when an airbus goes down (or even several).
But as for the original question of why the information has dried up, I go with the second or third response -- I do think everyone has been told to shut up. There's been enough speculation and posturing. They need to accumulate information and figure it out and then we'll know.
I want to end this post where I started. You guys who participate in the process of offshore drilling -- particularly the deep water stuff -- are amazing. What you do is incredible. I'm assuming that eventually cooler heads will prevail and we'll get back to some sense of normalcy soon enough.

You mean Air packs?
It certainly would help if I spelled correctly and used proper terminology.
What I should have put was SCBA (self contained breathing aparatus)
Sorry about that. My brain has been scrambled lately. Yesterday there was a 2 hour meeting with HR for the company I contract for. Today, another 2 hour meeting with my boss who I'm actually employed
No problem........

the "everything is ok and you are a dumbass to think otherwise experts" see that this problem is much worse than reported and simply will not be easy to fix.
