The blowout preventer that was intended to shut off the flow of high-pressure oil and gas from the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico during the disaster on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig on April 20, 2010, failed to seal the well because drill pipe buckled for reasons the offshore drilling industry remains largely unaware of.

A wise man once said " these rules are written in blood " long live the oil patch !
Fucken Electrician don’t know how to wire a fucken solenoid
"drill pipe buckled for reasons the offshore drilling industry remains largely unaware of" translates to "for reasons Halliburton decided not to disclose."
And them British bastards still don't give a fuck about this and have never paid fully for this!
It's AL ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY , WE NEED TO START OVER ?.
Get your artist to do fire for video games, it looks awesome
They need to hang Big oils CEO & the upper mng's by there balls
what a cluster f@#k.
Its still leaking.
how do we solve the problem
So human arrogance caused this . Bulked pipe bad wiring dead batteries. Gr
That's why I always lick my 9vt batteries before I put in my smoke detectors
Wow just wow. We can't get fucking valves to function at 1.5 km away from a mega operating point yet we are ready to go to mars?
This was not an accident , I believe this was intended and for what purpose I don't know. I've worked offshore rigs as a wireline operator and it puzzles me how the driller didn't know what was going on by all his instruments and testing equipment. Every step is checked and monitored as to prevent such blowouts. Something just don't add up about this. Too late now but it still pisses me off that this happened and fucked up the gulf.
Wow.
BP bringing oil to the american shores
I’m actually watching this movie riiight now! Whoa! It’s insane! Watching from here!
It was the AMERICANS who built the blowout preventer, IT WAS NOT MADE IN BRITAIN.
The 9/11 building 7 collapse bullcrap starts at 4:28. North Korea wouldn't dare torpedo a rig under a Trump administration, chicken Uh-bama? Yes, Trump no.
Stupid bp
all new risky technique is an experience – with uncertain Outputs!! – It is almost impossible to theoretically play through all the risks in such a complex new technique – so you must take the risk!! – thats modern life – risks
Was not Obama our WONDERFUL president for 8 YEARS and with all of the golfing trips not one word about fixing this problem and that from a ENVIRONMENTALISTS – WTF. How many millions of dollars did he steal from us. Looks like he was busy.
so much for redundant systems…
SHIT !!!!
What's insane is the backwards way the solenoid valves work… They should be on a closed position unless electricity passes through it to open it, this way at a power cut or technical failure, they would automatically close….
thats somewhat happend my dad was on this oil rig he told me the rigs pipe was improperly placed and that led to the spill
I now live in New Port Richey Florida. Basically I live on the Gulf Coast let's not have this again please.
Multi-billion dollar companies & projects… and not one but multiple wiring mistakes?! Bloody hell I just shake me head…I can only reckon that the BOP system must NOT of been tested before being commissioned/sunk to ocean floor. For such a system that not only is expensive… but carries a HUGE political/environmental potential backlash upon failure, I'd sure as hell would want to make sure it functioned as intended…
I do not work in petrol industry, so I do not know drilling specifics and there are some things I do not understand… however I DO know that batteries have a finite life. I do not reckon a BOP is something readily accessible in which one could do P.M. Seems to me a lot of the BOP design needs to be taken back to the drawing board.
My thoughts:
ᴥDrill pipe should be physically restrained or guided to centre of annulus space, should be achievable without blocking annulus flow
ᴥBlind sheer blades should cover entire width of annulus space, so if there is pipe deviation from centre, the sheer is still 100% effective.
ᴥBlind sheer actuation should NOT be dependent on batteries, capacitors, or other energy storage systems susceptible to potential failure – I'd design it in such a way that very strong mechanical energy (such as springs, or levers and heavy weights) are what force the blades shut… and an umbilically fed solenoid and/or hydraulic pressure is what holds the blades back from closing. This way, total failure of the platform/BOP control centre results in the blades sheering automatically via gravitational or elastic energy. Redundancy of systems in this scenario would be focused on preventing the blades from sheering the pipe, instead of the opposite.
ᴥA BOP control centre/computer, located in the *platform*, to handle just the BOP…
– Battery backup, easily accessible for P.M.
– Monitoring of annulus space for presence of substances from 'kicks'
– Monitoring of all other platform operations & communications (to evaulate status of platform)
ᴥSystem in place on platform to divert/handle 'kick' substances in the case they reach the platform. There should be NO reason for these to spray all over the platform.

I'm no super expert… so those are just some things that came to my mind. Possibilities for failure and degradation of materials can never be eliminated 100%, the goal is to try to minimise the consequences of such.
Thanks to the USCSB we do not have to rely on those shitty seconds-to-disaster documentaries

Still blows my mind that if a shear ram operating effectively could have stopped this, why the hell didn't they bring in a portable hydraulic press to slowly close and crimp the riser and broken string inside?…does that mean the failed cement job by Dick Cheney (HALIBURTON) would have failed and the crude and gas would have erupted around the casing?
That isn't what I saw on CNN…I saw this jagged riser spewing out thick brown goo….close the pipe, done? Engineers are
notorious at adding complexity to increase costs for customers……all of this tech is incredibly expensive. A job-rated analog
hydraulic press would be pretty cheap, and lack complexity.
BOP's are amazingly complex….just locate an END TIMES hydraulic jaw press ABOVE the BOP…..BOP fails, hit the LAST RESORT ANALOG HYDRAULIC PRESS button….if the rig above looses power and begins to drift off-station, hit the END TIMES ANALOG……jesus. I have a GED and I……never mind…
The sooner we move away from fossil fuels to renewables the better .
