“Not the fault of the BOP but rather the fault of the BP EPA people who told the BP people to replace the drilling mud with seawater of the hole.”
Don W,
Wow, you seem very knowledgeable about the little BP incident on the Deepwater Horizon Platform on 4/20/10. However, for some reason, not sure what it could be, you lack any specifics on your claim that the EPA ordered BP to replace that drilling mud with seawater.
Could you please cite documentation that would show that the EPA was making command decisions on that platform?
More specifically, could you please cite the actual order from the EPA to BP to pull the mud out of the hole, pump that mud onto a service boat and to be delivered to another platform and replace that mud with seawater?
Would you also be able to explain why the Schlumberger crew on the Deepwater Horizon objected to the actions taken by BP, I mean the EPA and ordered a helicopter to “rescue” them from the platform hours before the blowout?
Please share with us your great expertise on this matter.
If you had continued reading the thread rather than going off half-cocked, you would see that I had replied about where I had seen this information. I spent the better part of an hour looking for the relevant post, and was unable to find it.
I suppose YOU have never posted something and lost/misplaced your reference, have you? I at least had the temerity to admit misplacing the information.
I *WAS* going to go to The Oil Drum to try and search it out there, but your childish outburst has changed my mind, I’m going to play with my dogs instead of dealing with hair-trigger verbal assaults.
Have the kind of night you deserve, and see my #45, oh aggressive one.
