I’m guessing that they’re trying to line the blade up with the aborted diamond cut... could take quite a while to do that.

I think they want to get as close to those allen bolts as possible so they take of the angular pressure off the wellhead

I have this picture of the following conversation being repeated over and over this morning:

ROV op : Shear is in position
Shear Op: Ready to cut
Supervisor: ROv 2 how do we look
ROV2 Op: Position looks good
Supervisor: ROV 3?
ROV3 Op: We are good to go
Supervisor:Everything looks good, are we green to go
Engineer: Let me do one last calculation.....
Everyone else: @(*^#(*&%$#)(*&@@)(*^@(*&#^%($*^%@)(@

I don’t know man. I worked a pipeline and it was always nice to have the eng around to make the tough calls that I would have normally made in the field.

They may take longer than I would, but you just tell your boss, “I’m waiting on eng approval. Yes, I know. He’ll probably sign off on it. Hey it’s not my call now, it’s his. Of course, thats what I told him we should do yesterday. Well call his boss then, I’m here with the crew and we are ready to proceed.”

Waiting for Obama to make the call — so it’s his fault if this doesn’t work!
