re: #350 jaunte

Do you know if this is standard practice in the North Sea (Norway / UK)? Maybe we should ask for some help in setting new regulatory standards.

Turns out better in many ways. The MMS was asleep at the wheel. But some of the problems, like with the BOPs are widespread. No one can prove hey work, its like mysticism. And no one can prove they can hold pressure, they can’t be tested without possibly destroying most of them, it is a mess.

One choice is safety and economic devastation. The other is a reform in stages, and take our chances in the meantime. Either way it is not an easy choice.
