BP Techniques in the Gulf of Mexico

[ATTAK Z]

Attached is a link to an interesting topic pertinent the business some of the guys on here are in. Worth a look if you have got 10 minutes. Its a piece of BP propaganda, but the attached video link gives a good explanation of the status of the relief well and the technology they are using in the Gulf of Mexico plus you get a decent look at a semi sub drilling rig and the sort of directional drilling tools used in the oil business

That is a nice video actually.

 

two comments from me.

 

Cleanest Semi Sub EVER! Ok, this is their second well with it but it looks like a nice new gen Semi. The roughnecks will even stay clean as everything with motorised.

 

Longest wireline tool ever! I've seen a quite a few (hundreds...) electric line jobs but never seen one of those bad boy vectoring tools.

 

 

Nice bit of propoganda but they aren't doing anything fancy. In fact I remember being on a jack up getting ready to complete a new drill and them drilling a relief well by mistake...... they intercepted another well due to being idiots.
