Above that flange there should be a giant rubber O-ring. They’ll compress the O-ring vertically (with hydraulics) and it will expand horizontally and seal against the flange.

If I got a heart attack right now and died and went to heaven this instant that would be fine with me.

I am beginning to see a frightening resemblance between that mass of blue hoses and the mass of wires hanging from the back of my computer desk. LOL

LOL, as long as your not physically connected then you’re alright. Probably will happen in the not too distant future though...

Not me, I want to see this well producing oil so I can drive my 408 Stroker Duster. I did build it for economy and it get 25 MPG so I’m doing my part for the planet. Except when I’m doing burnouts.

I’d like too, but this is not in my area of expertise. And like said many times now, I sure as hell won’t pretend it is.

I keep visualizing the 4 to 6 roughnecks centering a christmas tree over a gushing wellhead.

Fumbles has become obsessed with the level on the BOP.

OMFG. There’s no hooks on the cage. The other cage had 27 hooks welded to it.

Yea, they need the BOP as vertical as possible during the whole process.

Robot hell.
Wandering aimlessly throughout eternity looking for hooks to hang hoses on.
