I think David used the plants/animals/insects of the planet to experiment on. The first weapon we saw shot out of pods. So he possibly cultivated some plant to host the face highers. The seem to open like a flower.

Take a look at this link.
I used some of their water based dye stain on a project similar to yours.
Dark blue base coat. Blended the coats in to balance out the grain contrasts.
I think I sprayed a thin clear shellac before adding a gray milk paint. The milk paint was wiped off quickly so that it would only sit in the deeper grain that hadn't completely filled with the shellac.
Finished it off with the clear shellac sealer.

I've been wondering about this for months. I'm in the ROV industry. Subsea 7 won a contract to provide 30 ROV systems to Petrobras in Brazil. Subsea 7 doesn't own 30 ROV's to provide. They would have to have them built by a third party. There also isn't 30 rigs to put these ROV's on. Only one other company could compete; and, actually stood a better chance because they build their own. Not sure why they didn't get it.
Bring in the moratorium. Rigs leave and head south. Problem solved.
Now we hear about the loan.
Further, Subsea7 has merged with Acergy to become a huge ROV provider world wide.
Not a consipiracy theorist; but, it sure does work out nicely for Petrobras and Subsea7/Acergy.
Glenn Beck spoke of Soros being heavily invested in Petrobras also.

I think their concern is the valves may cause back pressure down towards the reservoir. It would not be a good thing if the valves were closed and the reservoir pressure caused the oil to fissure outside of the well string.
re: BP underwater camera at the leak

The standard configuration for ROV's are SD camera's. The problem is cost/availability of the subsea HD camera's, and transmitting the video to the surface(via fiber optics in their umbilical). You also have a problem in just trying to get quality SD video streaming over the satellite links. HD video streaming is massive and would cause serious problems over the satellite links.
I'm not sure what video feed you watched; but, the video coming from the ROV's is very good on average. HD wouldn't provide the pilot or interested parties with too much more information.

Great link. Check out the well control article.

The risers are bolted?? Is it a flange joint??
The center conductor is the riser...18.75" I think. The smaller lines around the riser are choke, kill, rigid conduit, boost lines.

there is a report that BP needed to remove some kind of expensive, synthetic mud in the riser for another job and that this mud was then exchanged for seawater. the guy on the radio interview did say that a workboat was on location offloading mud through a hose and that boat was later involved in rescue operations. is it customary to put seawater in the riser when there are still downhole operations to be conducted?
without any mud weight above the BOP, what precations are taken to bleed off gas at the BOP before the BOP is re-opened?
Synthetic mud has to be reclaimed. It is expensive; but, I believe they are required by law to reclaim as much of it as they can.
Your last question seems to be the key to it all. Why didn't they see something below the Annulars before they opened them?

Ok. What are we looking at there? I'm on my phone and can't see the pic real well. Looks like an rov at the horizon bop but what is the significance of the pic?

Probably not much different. The only thing restricting flow now is a kink in the riser. If it bridged over and came around the casing the flow would probably be less. More restrictive than flowing through nice clean pipe as it is now.
I think you're wrong
Are we thinking on the lines of channeling around the entire well bore?

ID of the riser and drill pipe the oil is coming out of so they probably can determine a better estimate through their ROV images than some website looking at sheen from satellite images. From what info is available this particular reservoir had never been flow tested it appears.
I'm with you on who would know better. They drilled into a productive area and controlled it. Probably analyzed it and planned their temp abandonment. I'm not sure where they were at in the abandonment stage, or if they were in that phase at all. With Halliburton's involvement, maybe it was during the cementing phase, which can get tricky.
So their "estimates" probably take those initial findings into account.
Just using the hydraulic equation for flow rate, if we could figure a velocity for the oil flow, you can get do the math on the rest. Highly inaccurate still because the riser is crimped....big time.
I don't want to take away from the seriousness of this spill; but, place one drop of motor oil into a swimming pool. The sheen will spread out like crazy. But the main concentration of oil is still very small and getting smaller as it dilutes across the water surface. Just sayin', pictures can be deceiving.
There's a picture in the first few pages of this thread showing one of the leaks. There's no definitive way to gauge flow out of the well.
Without controlling the well, alot of the variables in the equation can't be know...I would think.

Fairly regular intervals. In between wells, they are serviced and tested heavily. When they are on the well, tests are regularly scheduled to fit in between drilling operations. I think after a casing section has been cemented, before they drill out of the casing and make new hole.
I'm pretty sure the LMRP is still on the BOP. There are hydraulic reservoirs that have been put on the sea floor for the ROV's to use in their operations with the BOP.
Deepest Atmospheric Dive Suit (hardsuit) dive is 2000', I think, to date. U.S. Navy.
The BOP get's lowered to the sea floor by the riser. Each riser piece is roughly 90' tall. So they make connection by connection until it's close to the well head. The last riser piece on the surface get's connected to rigs control systems and tensioners. The tensioners then lower the BOP onto the wellhead to be latched up.
In order to get the LMRP off of the BOP, They will need to cut off the riser that has fallen to the sea floor. Before any of that happens, they'll need to shut the well in.
I'm thinking nothing will be released to the press until they are in the clear with shutting the well in.

This is the actual BOP down on the well. The upper assembly, with the shiny stainless panel, is the LMRP, Lower Marine Riser Package.
The lower assembly, with the yellow cylinders, are the rams.
Above the LMRP is a connection called a flex joint that allows the riser going to the surface to move slightly while connected to the BOP.
Underneath the BOP, there is the wellhead connector.
There are at least four ROV vessels on top of this wellhead. I believe each vessel has two ROV's.
There is and has been alot of work going on with trying to shut the BOP rams.
More assets are moving to the field to assist and go to a Plan B if you will. Reference an earlier poster regarding a large torque tool.
Same thing happened here playing MW2. Did you get your disk out? If not, hold down the disk button while turning the power on in the back. Worked for mine.
There's a few tricks on youtube you can try; but, none of it looks to be a sure thing. The heat gun on the chips seems to only last a couple of weeks before you have to do it again.
Debating the return or purchase of the slim.

It was automatic when I started the game last night.
Good stuff. Never got to PFC though.
When I went to multi-player menu, probably 30 trophies popped up successively in the right hand top corner of the screen. I can't find them now though. Mebee they're my profile for BFBC website?
