Would they look at it as necessary since they are relief wells though?  You know, if we don't pump it will blow again type of song and dance.  Could it possibly blow again if they don't pump the relief wells?

The relief wells are SUPPOSED to go down and through the pipe and casing, then be utilized to pump concrete into the bottom of the downtube and the surrounding void in order to reinforce it and prevent blow out and weaknesses. . . Supposed to. . .

  Once that cutting head goes through the well casing wall, the new well recieve all of that oil and some estimate 18,000 psi pressure.

  That is why I said, what if the new wells blow out preventer don't work and all of that 18,000 psi of pressure come slamming back up thought the new well casings.

  Yeah, your on to something, it's those  damn Democrats SWAT teams rowing out there, planting bombs so they can raise the price of oil and make the economy worse.  That's what it is.

  Have you seen the commercial where the three dummies hired by the oil companies saying that raising the taxes of the oil companies will destroy the economy.

  Well, BP after paying all of the over priced upper management and ALL OF THEIR EXPENCES, damage claims, the poor little bitty company, only made $5,998 million in profit.  Damn, their about broke.  :wink: :smile:

According to Mariner Energy's website, the company engages in deepwater drilling in the gulf, including "higher-risk, high-impact projects that have the potential to create substantial value for our stockholders."


Well that's what it's all about, right?   :mad:

Not necessarily accurate but certainly convenient.

Not accurate to the under 80 IQ crowd who feed off of the tripe that Faux news distributes.
