I can only say if we do know each other than we both know of a "Dick" Greig.

Any questions on how much oil can be found in and produced from deepwater need only look at 2 other finds by BP recently: Tiber and Kaskida. Both drilled by the Deepwater Horizon.

re: anyone have an update on relief well progress?
Posted by Carnage on 6/11/10 at 11:39 am to Chad504boy
The last update that I got was that they were close to 14,000 ft.
I did not see the interview but I can say that the families have all been contacted by TOI. They had to be to even know to attend the Memorial. Steve Newman spoke personnaly with each family and went to many of their homes.
The extent of the contact or how often they have been contacted I do not know. But to say they haven't been contacted at all is ridiculous.

re: Who's drilling the new well? Any DWH survivors?
Posted by Carnage on 6/11/10 at 10:36 am to BROffshoreTigerFan
To my knowledge none of the personnel for TOI on the DWH at the time of the accident are on the relief wells. I cannot speak for 3rd party personnel/contractors.
I do know that people that were not on the rig from all companys are assisting with the relief wells and the top hat.
My understanding from speaking with people at the Memorial in Jackson is that TOI personnel onboard are not being allowed to go back out yet. That may have change recently.

It makes no difference how "you know". I know that the money financing the well calls the shots. You disagree with them, buck them, stand up to them, you will never work for them again. So STFU. I'm in the OG business, albeit a landman. If you disagree with the people who write your check you are gone. My two cents worth and my 4000th post.
I'm sorry if that is how it works where you are employed. I am just trying to give an accurate description of how the day to day operations occured on the DWH.

Deepwater Horizon did have an OIM and Captain.
The lifeboats were launched with people left on board. The Captain being one of them.
The girl that he is talking about did jump and survived.
Pretty much all the doors inside the accommodations were blown off the hinges. Especially those near the engine rooms and mud pump/sack/pit room. 3 of those doors were directly responsible for severe injuries due to striking individuals. These are very beefy doors but I won't estimate their weight.
What I notice is that he has had time to reflect on things and has put together his idea of why the incident happened.
By the way, he is the caller to the Mark Levin show. That should cease some of the he was an engineer/driller/etc.. talk.

Carnage, I apologize for not being aware of your previous post history. I appreciate your insight.
No harm done. I have seen many of these "arguments" before in the safety meetings. It is nothing more than the plan was one thing at 0730 conference call but was changed by the time the 1100 pre-tour safety meeting. Many times plans are changed just prior to this meeting and have not been relayed to Transocean yet.
But in this instance I know that the OIM (Mr. Harrell) would have been against this procedure. So I am sure that there was a discussion in private afterward. But ultimately the decision is up to BP.

There was really only one way to take it. Why can't you just say how you know? Ok, I'll play the game. How do you know this?
No game being played. I know the company men on the rig and depending on which one was on tour at the time you either got smart arse comments or a calm response to any questions being raised about procedure.

Do you have any idea how douchey this sounds?
Don't really care. It was a preemptive remark before someone jumped asking where I got my info from. I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way.

"The morning of the disaster, according to Williams, there was an argument in front of all the men on the ship between the Transocean manager and the BP manager. Do you know what that argument is about?" Pelley asked.
There may have been a disagreement about the procedure for completing the well but I highly doubt there was a huge argument. Since this "argument" took place at the pre-tour safety meeting it would have been in front of approximately 40-50 guys not the whole rig.
I am sure there was some "my dick is bigger than yours" comments going on but it was not a full blown "argument". Depending on which company man was on tour it was probably nothing more than smart arse comments. Ask me how I know.
re: A possible explanation of what happened on the Deepwater Horizon
Posted by Carnage on 5/5/10 at 11:34 pm to yurintroubl
Guys,
Ya'll are all over what happened. I do need to make a correction to the original post though.
There was no "party". We don't party on the DWH. On February 28, 2010 we hit 7 years without a Lost Time Incident. Layman's terms: We had gone 7 years without injuring someone to the point that they could not return to work within a day.
The reason for the VIPs being on the rig was to point out how safely the DWH had been working for the 1st quarter of the year. The DWH has won multiple awards from MMS for its safe operations in the Gulf.
I cannot stress enough how awesome a rig this was in safety and performance. We were part of 2 monster finds in the Gulf. And we did this all SAFELY. We got upset and held meetings if someone twisted an ankle or cut a finger. The big safety push at the time of the incident was hand injuries and dropped objects due to the trends we had seen within the company.

BP is looking more and more culpable. I was assuming before that it was a liner which should have given indication of a well control situation early on. This changes everything. I can't see how TransOcean can be held accountable like BP is indicating.
It gets better. The abandonment cement job procedures WILL be one of the root causes of this failure.
I believe his story. I have pictures of them assisting with the rescue. However, his details of why the rig exploded are wrong. Needless to say he and his friends are lucky to be alive.
