Well remember that this cap seals to the radial surface of the flange.

I believe the bell is big enough to go over the outside of the flange, and removing the 21” pipe was just to get it out of the way.

If the mating involves Miss Canada I would shoot for 3 hours and be happy with 10 Minutes.

What was the Question?

I really hope this works. Then we can cleanup this mess and get to the bottom of the causes.
Prayers up for the BP crew and the gulf residents.

So is the pressure still looking lower than it did before ? It is hard to tell, I had thought the oil and mud was not shooting out with the gushing force it was before.

We’ll put Bush on trial and have BP donate $3 billion to Baraq’s 2012 campaign and everyone lives happily ever after

You want to use this link: http://www.jtnog.org/

They made the cut with the same CRAW as the riser. They are putting the top hat on now (hopefully).

And I have long forgotten why we were bringing Miss Canada into it. Was it to make the Canadians happy ? Aftger all this is done with our ability to drill on our own land will drop drastically; we will be all the more dependant on Canadians for oil and we will have to be super nice and suck up to them. Is that what this was about ?

I don’t know about Miss Canada, I wasn’t following the thread back then on FR.
I did see Miss Bouncy last night, but she had no relevance to the posts other than stress relief, LOL.

That sounds like a better reason than the original post.

Someone posted the .gif of the Enormous lady in a skimpy bathing suit running on a treadmill with a bucket of KFC dangling in front of her.

After howls of protest they posted Miss Canada as an apology.

And the rest is, as they say, history!
