re: #228 austin_blue

The Tech is there, it just didn’t work in this case. A double stack of BOPs might have done the trick. We don’t know if this was a backside blowout (around the production string- a bad cement job) or a primary blowout (through the production casing- not maintaining sufficient weight to keep the downhole pressure from overcoming the hydrostatic head.).

This is not rocket science, but BP isn’t talking.

Oh, and by the way, I used to be a wellhead geologist and did this for a living.

Hey, austin blue, I’ll send you what the Roi told me he heard, if you’ll e-mail me.

It’s too technical for my brain to get the full meaning of.
