  1. @akkwilly It dosent make a difference. They needed this mess. Like you said, they could have put a new riser onto that flange in about 2 days after the disaster. I dont think they can seperate the oil from gas on the surface though so I dont even think they were collecting any oil at all.

  2. @akkwilly mabey the welded it in addition to the bolts? but what jackass would have done that. well maby that should have been tried 50 days ago.

  3. @datzfast i don’t understand…. what difference does water depth have to do with anything, they didn’t have a problem installing a riser and a BOP to drill the damm well but they can’t do it again? U can see in the vid, the flange is in good shape doesn’t seem to have any damage. Remove the bolts run another riser to surface, flange it up.

  4. @akkwilly but that would be what you do in shallow waters this water is very deep and very cold. but because this needs to end i think its time to do it in deep water.

  5. i dun get it why isn’t the riser simply unbolted from that flange and a new one installed all the way to surface or better yet remove the riser and attach another “functioning” BOP to that top flange??
