The original design for the cap they tried using in the blowout would have worked but between the the govt and the engineers the design was changed.
The original design came from ideas of dozens of peoples throughout the oil industry with years of experience but no college degrees, which automatically makes smarter than everyone else on the face of the planet.
The basic design was put together in less than 24 hours after the blowout.
A buddy of mine called me and asked me for ideas but anything I suggested had already been thought of.
The original design was supposed to have water jets to cut into the sand and have the bell sink down into the sand then inject cement to form a seal.
It would be lowered in place by casing and there would be tubing inside the casing to pump the water then cement.
Once the cap was cemented in place hot oil would be pumped through the tubing to keep the oil from the well flowing to the surface.
Thanks for that
We should never ask the people with hands on experience how to do something cost efficiently when we have a tax system that can cripple any industry if they do not succumb to government suggestions.
