He shouldn't have trusted the oil companies. A subsea blowout preventer should get the same official scrutiny as a nuclear reactor, because there is equal potential for disaster. Why don't they make shear rams with explosives in the cylinders? That would be more "fail-safe" than hydraulics. |

Agreed. -*Why don't they make shear rams Instant Pressure Surge and a potentially bigger Blow-Out of the whole Well Head and/or the Area around it and/or the Pipe below it. A Gental 'controlled' Shut-Down is what is required to ease-off on the Flow and ease-off on the Pressure. - with explosives in the cylinders? * That will do a Bang-Up job. - That would be more "fail-safe" than hydraulics. Not necessarily. Better would be a Cam-Valve with a Dead Weight counter-balance : Pull/Blow the Up-Lock Pins and Gravity over time {Minutes to an Hour} does the rest. Dave - You are right on the basic premise that High Level Redundant Engineering on the Risk Level of a "Nuclear Reactor" is required and should be the World Wide Standard for all Deep Water Oil Drilling Rigs. |

A replaceable cylinder loaded with whatever they use for explosive bolts; wouldn't need much; and the ram could be ratcheted for locking after the charge fires. All you need is a few thousand PSI for a 10th of a second. |

Jackson's water crisis.
Boil your damn water! http://www.clarionledger.com Looka here, we had another water crisis last January, or last February.What I want to know is why do they make such a big whoop dee doo by showing those video clips of somebody getting water samples for testing and they have a certain way of holding that little water sample bottle wayyyy up high? What are they trying to prove by doing that? They keep showing that same video clip over and over everytime local tv news is on tv.Really, it is sort of like a comedy, the way they do it. cuhulin |

Earthquake moved Calexico 31 inches.http://www.worldnetdaily.com cuhulin Calexico - I like that one Cuh. :-) I remember the first time I was on my way to visit Calexico and we stopped off in Sparks, Nevada. I had never been that far west at the time. We went to a KFC and ordered and I noticed everyone behind the counter was mexican. No big deal. A tad shocked, because I don't see that where I live. Not yet at least. I had to repeat my order three times and we went and set down in a booth. They bring out our order and it wasn't just wrong, it was really wrong. I go back up to the counter and everyone looked at me like I was the foreigner - which I guess we were..lol. There was ONE person, the manager who understood me. He made it right. I'm glad I don't live in Sparks Nevada FWIW. |
