despite the moratorium? Jail? Fines? Cut off federal funding for whatever???
Also, the same for the sand berms ... now they're told to stop building those I think as of midnight tomorrow night ... what are they gonna do if berms continue getting built?????
Cut the oil flow to the East coast ... freeze your asses off in the dark ... or whatever it was that that bumper sticker said.

The industry can play the nuclear type option if the chicago organized crime krew decides to spit on the ruling. However I doubt the big operators would shut down the valves in the GOM. If the industry does that, major overnight spike in crude.

the moratorium only stops DEEP WATER RIGS....32 out of 3600 that are in the gulf....less than one percent of the rig total.

There aren't 3600 rigs in the gulf.

A platform is not a rig.

it's not the total # of rigs operating relative to existing production facilities that's the issue. it's the fact that the vast majority of $ spent in the GOM today is associated w/ deepwater activity.
furthermore, the real problem is that the moratorium paints w/ such a broad brush, it defies logic.
i understand no one wants a repeat of this disaster, but there are compromises that would allow at least a moderate activity to continue.

there are 33 true deep water rigs (Semisubmersables)
the moratorium draws the "deepwater" line at 500' though
there are jacket platforms at that depth! that is NOT deepwater
that is most of the GOM

Yep those 32 deep water rigs account for a huge chunk of GOM oil production not to mention like you said most of the activity is deepwater right now. Most of the supply boats we are designing right now are with deep water in mind. 200'+ with the ability to carry both liquid mud and bulk mud and having DP2 capability.
