Check out bp's live ROV feed. 3 main rams currently shut in- main bore isolated, flow currently diverted through special chokes to ramp up pressure slowly as we shut it in. No link as I'm on my phone at bp in Houston. Bp's homepage then live feed link- skandi 2 rov feed NOW. Fingers crossed.... Potential begining of the end!!

uh, you know that this is the mission that actually is working right? And that it's not his fault that BP fucked up so hard?


Quit being a douche. I doubt you're even qualified or smart enough to know whether the job is successful or not anyway. You're not an subsea engineer, are you? Right. So shut the fuck up.

You're right. A mult-metric ton cap on a tube spewing viscous liquid out at 128,000psi. Go ahead. It's just like toothpaste.

128,000 was the figure. At one point, engineers didn't think it was even technically possible to cap it. The clamp system is what's making it work.

you and everyone else who boycotts the BP gas stations are among the most retarded people out there. the only people you are hurting are the people who own the gas station as their business. they cannot help to get their gas from BP. so really the only difference you're making is taking away money from a normal american business owner who has NOTHING to do with how BP does business. good job, idiot. but hey at least you feel great about yourself knowing that you made a difference without having to inconvenience yourself, right?

First I never said I was boycotting anything. Second do you realize that gas stations don't make a shit load of of gas. I;m not saying they aren't making bank but they do pretty fucking good on the shit they sell inside at most places.  2 dollar sodas and stuff like that.

"so really the only difference you're making is taking away money from a normal american business owner who has NOTHING to do with how BP does business. good job, idiot. but hey at least you feel great about yourself knowing that you made a difference without having to inconvenience yourself, right?"


You have problems sir. Bad vibes just leaking out of you constantly. Cheer up, drink a beer, It's all going to be alright.

"Sad thing is people are still pouring into their gas stations buying from them."

ok, so that's supposed to mean, "i support BP gas stations just like everyone else should because the gas station owners are really not at fault and shouldn't be hurt because of BP's mistakes".

ever tried to put your hand on top of a hose pipe flowing at max chat? What happens.

Ever tried to do it with the weight of a suburban on every sq inch of your body? from a mile away... in the dark....

That's why i'm the subsea engineer and do what i do, and your the fucktard that does ... er whatever it is you do.... ? Right?

You do realize to get this piece of equipment into deepwater and working in any other situation would take around 1.5 years at best?

I expect you still think the moon is made of cheese as well.

Anyway - whilst your lieing in bed tomorrow morning at 10am scratching your balls, wondering what to do with your life - i'll of already of been at Bp for 7 hrs working on this.... but - thanks for your input - you make a real difference.

Yeah at the choke line. Not the end of the world. That line is to vent pressure if shit starts to get too high- little mini connector leaking, I think they're balls anyway...... But it's isolated by a bigger valve. We'll change it out (or go ahead without it) and carry on. I was suprized at the velocities... All flow was banging through a 3" line... Gotta hope you don't start producing sand or there will be nothing left. Relief well is like 4ft away, waiting on these tests- hopefully they'll just boost on through with that- but ultimately every decision gets made by chu, salazar and obama which can be frustrating... And causes delays. But- that's the way he wants it, so I ain't gonna argue. It's close though- my money (literally) Is on it being killed by 25th.... I fucking hope so... Today would be nice too though.

Read my post above- was leaking at choke mini connector- we've changed that out. Should shut it in today then we'll see what the pressure does.
