fyi
They will plug the spill and fire the CEO blame everything on him and bail out on the claims. I bet Obama has already been paid off.
I thought 8,000 psi was the lowest psi that would "suggest" integrity?
Thank you for hosting the thread.
Discussion on the leaks and whether there is evidence of stuff coming up from the seafloor on today’s thread.
In this video the cable on the left held the new Hydraulics panel. BOP on right. ROV video feed was freezing every now and then. Note at the 27 second mark in the center an animal or object floats left to lower right. Notice its speed and compare that to tiny clathrates that were smaller then a golf ball in size.The clathrates accelerate in the flow.
In this video you can see how fast the clathrates can accelerate in the dynamic flow. ROV video feed was freezing every now and then. At the 50 second mark the new hydraulics control panel can be seen. At the 1:23 mark estimating max peak speed was 20 feet per second.
Tiny Clathrate Storm at BOP Fast Acceleration
In this video the amazing dynamic vertical flows can be seen in the clathrate storm. Perhaps the clathrates themselves are helping to develop the storm currents. This is due to the methane gas dissolving or diffusing which is giving them propulsion and acceleration.
Tiny Clathrate Storm at BOP Vertical Flows
The clathrate storms are a new anomaly, but the dynamic currents are developing sediment storms on the bottom. We saw the base of the BOP slightly buried yesterday, now the ROV below comes onto the Tool Crib and find the tools buried. Attempts to clear them with thruster flow, but not successful.
So they need a new tool crib design. Solid walls with a closing solid lid. Would suggest a balloon float to find the tool crib if it gets completely buried.
