Blow out? Hell no thats god damn Godzilla. You woke him up with yer earth rapin bullshit. Use your money to fix it fuckheads.

that would be gas..not oil...just lookin out.

the buoyancy effect is actually not that important, since it is countered by inflow from sides.What is the critical point is the strong gas outflow from the center, which may tilt the vessel located a little off-center.

I heard that gas erupted to the surface along a fault which outcropped at the seabed some distance from the rig. This eventually excavated a huge hole which worked its way to the rig location. THe danger with gas in the water is that, apart from being flammable, it reduces the bouyancy of the water.

What's going on? I think I get that the oil is basically erupting from the bottom?

That looks like BOP failure to me, maybe not latched properly? You can clearly see the riser in one shot they must have disconnected the LMRP and hauled ass out of there with the anchors. The rig would sink in the aerated water

Does anyone know what the water depth (KB to ML is fine) was at that location?

1. What the consequences of this on environment & stakeholders of the platform?2. How can mitigate blow out?

What re d risks inherent in offshore operations? thanks |
