This comes as good news to Gulf residents who have suffered the devastation of their beaches and local economy since the offshore drilling rig exploded on April 20. BP PLC vice president Kent Wells, said at a news briefing that the oil stopped flowing into the Gulf at 2:25 p.m. CDT. "I am very pleased that there's no oil going into the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, I'm really excited there's no oil going into the Gulf of Mexico," Wells said.

To: war (#1) Bummer for some people here who are going to have to get on with their lives now. I told PO Forums Day 3 I was gone the day they cap this. With a statement like the above, from an intelligent person like you, war, I might as well say the same here. That's 'capped' as in 'killed' with cement. Hardened. 4.5 million bbls, 2 & 1/4 VLCC's in the GoM now, and you think I need to get a life? Dragon King. TEOTWAWKI still. ;} So is the well integrity test a meaningless PR stunt, which is delaying completion of the relief wells, and failing to bring us any closer to permanently killing the oil gusher? Or is it a valuable tool to see if the well can be protected from further damage during a hurricane? Only time will tell ... So, again thank you, war, for your opinion. Think bp only did $20 billion in damages as well? LMFAO 8D mcgowanjm  posted on  2010-07-15   20:59:15 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #8. To: mcgowanjm (#5) (Edited) As I understand it, the next step is to slowly close the valves and try to run her up to 8,000PSI for a "test". Not content with capturing all(?) of the oil, they want to risk making things worse. This is stupid! They should get all of the oil coming out and store it. It could possibly make us energy independent for decades. IMO, they're purposly trying to blow it open all the way, to advance the globalist NWO, greenie agenda. All part of the Bush/Gore plan.

To: hondo68 (#8) Cavnar believes that BP's true goal is to make it harder to measure the flow of oil from the damaged well, because under the Clean Water Act, it will be liable for civil penalties of up to $4300 for every barrel spilled. "While they have every incentive to get the well killed, BP also has every incentive to not capture 100% of the well flow until they do," Cavnar wrote last week at Huffington Post. "As soon as they do capture all the flow, then a real, measurable number will be in front of the public, and that's the last thing BP wants, since that number will then be used to extrapolate environmental damage, hence per barrel fines that will likely run to the tens of billions anyway." "The whole [original] reason for this cap was to allow two more outlets to produce to four ships so they could capture between sixty and eighty thousand barrels a day," Cavnar told Olbermann "This whole business of shutting in -- and shutting down the relief well -- just doesn't make any sense to me at this point. ... My guess is that they're hoping to be able to shut down at least some of the production from the well so once they open it back up to the surface ... it will be producing at a rate less than what it was 'open flow.' So it'll be harder to measure what the total flow was from the well when it was completely uncontrolled." mcgowanjm  posted on  2010-07-15   21:55:48 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #18.

To: Fred Mertz (#18) (Edited) I buy into this Cavnar theory, as nothing else makes sense. One of the underreported, if not at all, stories of this leak is that BP bragged a few years ago in its own trade magazine that it had developed a method of determining "to the drop" how much oil was coming out of ANY well. war  posted on  2010-07-16 09:04:35 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #21.

All along they have said that stopping the flow of oil and gas was off the table. And as suddenly as they dismissed that idea, they relent. Is it because BP wasn't ready with the tools and the technology to perform a shut in? And manufactured a reason to let them off the hook? Or what? There has to be a rational reason for this sudden change in direction. Edit: I should say, not that I'm complaining IF it works without causing further damage to the well. As my previous posts state, I don't understand BP's need to shut in the well with the risks involved since they have engineered a closed system to capture the oil. Other than to obfuscate the measurement of how much the well is actually flowing as others have stated in this thread. Good points here Alvis... this idea with the mini BOP hadn't featured on their "options list" until a couple of days ago. Now all of a sudden, it has become a Hollywood blockbuster..."The Surprise Rabbit out of the hat.... that will fix everything". I'm surprised it took them 80+ days to make and test this contraption. To me it seems like a very long time to make and test a few spool pieces and a couple of "off the shelf" BOP rams. So, you have to question what is driving the use of this "mini-BOP" (my terminology), and perhaps also, the timing of these announcements. Looks like a lot of Hollywood special effects and propaganda to boost share price and other world-wide bp negotiations (Libya?) to me. mcgowanjm  posted on  2010-07-16 10:13:34 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 18.
