GULF OF MEXICO — This video shows blow out preventer modification in preparation for the Top Kill procedure. It is a series of clips taken over seven days that show the sometimes intricate work performed by Remote Operated Vehicles, which are used to modify existing equipment on the Deepwater Horizon’s Blow Out Preventer. The modifications to the pre-existing choke and kill lines were made to enable them to receive heavy drilling fluids as part of the upcoming Top Kill procedure. (video provided by BP)

thats some technical skills!
@PhantomAspect . I can imagine the scene at BP…
– Okey guys, we must try a top kill, just for the show, so people really belive that we’re trying to shut down this well. Then we’re off to do the real stuff, capturing the oil so we can make more money of it and pay for this disaster that is going to last for the next 30 years. Then we’re off to jolly old Britain. Best regards from BP. ;)
@skaraborg55 You get it.
@77mudbug Watching the videos, I’ve been really impressed by what those ROV operators can do. It must take a lot of training and practice to develop that level of skill!
Wow….. the white mans job will not be complete until he totally destroys the earth
WHY DIDN’T YOU DO THIS IMMEDIATELY???????? Screw your ‘finesse’ and technical grandeur, this screw up should have you down on your knees, the world doesn’t care about your robots. The world wants this well closed down now and forever.
And don’t you dare start harvesting oil in a couple of months via your ‘relief well’ off this same source. This whole op is FINISHED.

Market robots? You smell, humans cannot go to depths of 10k to carry out the job at hand so the ROV is used.
Dee de dee!
My husband flies those so called robots!! It can go where divers cannot and at depths where they cannot go either. So don’t hate until you know more about them!!
Thats what this is all about, Govmnt. using this as a way to market robots. Another part of the elimination of human beings, OMG. Please Mr.President don’t let this happen, Stop The Leak !!!
@X2YeZCAMCNC
Who cares? They just trying to look a bit more honest after causing the worst echological disaster in history. They could have done this a long time ago. All they have done to this day is to present one after another big lie.
The REAL HEROES who really do something is all the people out there saving the animals…
What was the metal like thing the fell when the flange was removed? 3:40
In response to the Deepwater Horizon oil leak, BP has decided to fight government regulation with a new army of KILLER ROBOTS! Amirite?
