Apparently this is about BP’s effort to try to cut off the riser above the BOP and using a lower marine riser package. O must not like the idea of cutting off the riser above the BOP. This needs to be done for either of BP’s next 2 options. So what does BP do now? I guess wait for the relief wells to be done in August?
Ah.. I misread the title. For some reason I thought he was not going to allow BP to try the LMRP. Of course it has risks. Everything they are trying to do has inherent risks associated with it.
I’m not an oil drilling genius, but it seems to me if they cut the riser off just above the BOP, there will be a lot more oil gushing out. If this cap business fails, the flow will be a lot more than there is now. There is great potential of making this a lot worse.
