**Never in America's history have we had, until now, such a Socialist President and an Administration filled with so many misfits, liars, incompetents, tax cheats, marxists, radicals & big government despots.
Obama, who never even ran a lemonade stand, can not create pvt. sector jobs. To do so he & his Party would have to embrace & support capitalism, not reject & seek to destroy it.
These despots, who have never produced anything, seek to control the pvt. sector.
News Flash! Obama is the most hated President since Bush! Who was the most hated since Clinton... who was the most hated since bush... who was the most hated since Regan... who was the most hated since Carter... who was the most hated since Ford.... who was....
@dasstu Really? have you ever heard of approval ratings? You have any idea what the approval ratings were for each of these presidents you just listed?
YES! YES! YES!!! this is fuckin' spot on!!! "crude oil is flowing in the gulf..." lol but they got the part about the beautiful wife wrong. sweet michelle ain't much to look as is she?
@man11withaplan Just as many people hate obama as there are that like him. So, by logic, either of us are drones, or one of us is right. I think, personally, people don't give him enough credit. He has the hardest job in the fucking world, and even though he isn't doing a particularly great job, he's still trying. He's not the best president, but he's doing what he can. Plus, he can only do so much. It's not like a president can just say 'yo, oil leak. fix it, bitchez'
@Dalittheuntouchable Oh I see but when George W. Bush was President he was open game right. After all is it or is it not what Obama has done with the nation's current problems we face today? 50 Percent of America now officially is dissaproved. I disagree with obama 99 Percent of the time. But I do not go and trash im all the way. I do have respect for him. The old saying goes "if you cannot handle the heat, Get out of ktichen"
@man11withaplan Well, when George W. Bush was president he decided to jump into a war for shaky claims of WMD's for god knows what reason, daddy's revenge or oil, call it what you will. Regardless of Saddam Hussein breaking 17 U.N. wartime resolutions, we weren't sanctified in starting war, and as the old saying goes 'two wrongs don't make a right'. While obama fucks up, his difference is he has ideas, albeit bad ones, which is more than the whole Laissez-Faire named ignorance bush had.
@Dalittheuntouchable On the contrary, Sadam actually claimed even after Israel bomed Iraq's only ractor in the 1980's that he had WMDs. GWB did not send a letter to the NK Dictator nor try to appease to an Iranian President who wrote poems about Iran being a Mater Nation.
Until Obama, there was no other terrorist attack on US soil nor any attempts on US Soil. But regardless Bush did increase regulation by 3.3 Percent.
@man11withaplan Now, I'd imagine with all his drinking, Bush woulda played a few rounds of poker. If it wasn't entirely obvious that his claims of WMD were bluffs, then I'll be damned. Now, you can't blame Obama for a terrorist attempt, that's just silly. As I see it, middle eastern insurgence wanted us to lose faith in a new leader, which does seem to have worked. Aside from politics, I would like to add that The Talking Heads rock.
@Dalittheuntouchable I agree with you on the Talking Heads, but can you name one terroist attempt after 9/11 before the Obama administration. Michal Moore said there would be no other terroist attack ever. oh really? From the Fort Hood Massacare, to Umar Faruk in flight 259 Chirstmas "underwear bobmer" which thank god did not go off and the NY Times square bomber. And P.S. It took him eight days to respond to the spill. And yet he has done so little
@Dalittheuntouchable And by the way he played golf and took vacations and fundrasing events than Geroge Bush did in eight years. If this was Bush he would be bashed in more ways than one. I might be wrong that there was no other terriost attempts at this nation. But Mr. Faruk got passed security and Sec. Homeland security Napoltiono said our airports are secure than ever. And Maj. Hassan had red flags over and over. But nothing happened until the massacare
@man11withaplan And I don't blame Obama soley. I blame also the Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Pelosi, Obama's cabinet, Emanual, Dunn, Gibbs etc. Was it or was it not that Joe Biden Mr. VP said that "we must spend to get out of debt". I never heard Cheney say that. "we have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it" -Pelosi
I have an idea for getting the job market started, how about the republicans stop blocking Obama's appointments? That would create 128 new jobs today!
Oh, one of the blocked appointments is the director of wildlife, marshland and parks . . . .Why is no one in charge? Ask the Republican that's blocking the appointment . . . oh wait, you can't, because they won't release the names of the blockers!
@1SnarfyDude WOW, did you read my post? Do you know anything about American Gov.? Try making a response to point instead of making a response with your feelings and what Rush Limbaugh told you on your radio yesterday.
@JayAngerer OK explain how a minority party that doesn't have enough internal support to sustain a filibuster is "blocking" anything. BTW, I work nights so unfortunately I don't have time to listen to Limbaugh, but if you do maybe you should instead of listening to the idiots on MSNBC.
The only thing more moronic than Obama, are the morons that believed his BS and actually voted for him. You Obama voters FAIL at life, good job!!!! SHEEP
@DarkFetishYaoi Three years as a senator in which he spent most of his time voting "present" or running for president. Face it, your hero's resume is a joke. As for Obama saving us from Great Depression II? Who says? Obama? Luckily, not everyone is as gullible as you are in believing his lies. Get a clue, Hopey-Changer. Your tax-&-spend messiah is taking us towards a Greece-like abyss.
And in this seemingly redemptive offering, Obama may be promising what only God can actually deliver, in the form of yet another, more eloquent, version of the same old utopian dream that started with Rousseau and Marx.
I said before he got in that when he does get in every one will complain about his accomplishing nothing. He has his hands full but its not his or the people he has under him area of expertise. Ron Paul had GREAT ideas yet no one listened. Everyone got fooled by another sales pitch. Imagine the word "change" at the appropriate time fooled everyone. Yah, we need change...now maybe everyone will research to see previous accomplishments before they vote?
@miazagora Do your research my friend before you say that. Look what he says. We don;t do those things to get the economy rolling, we are in trouble. He has a big background in doing billion dollar business successfully. Who else did that? Plus research his ideas for the US.
@DarkFetishYaoi The only thing Obama has experience at is running his fucking mouth,he's the most unqualified,inexperienced,incomptent idiot to ever hold the office of president. the only thing more patihetic are the brain dead slavish knob jockies that still support this marxist meat puppet.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Jetmechanic001 ooohhhh, so worse than W? even though obama quickly and directly addressed the BP problem, while W basically sat on his ass for months before giving half-ass assistance to victims of katrina?
@DarkFetishYaoi Thank you : ) but I must say the president does come off as a socialist and does seem to side with muslims for some reason. Bowing to one surely makes him look like he does.
@DarkFetishYaoi There's a lot of blame to go around that's for sure. The people envolved in cutting corners should be locked up. The president is being blamed for his SLOW response. That is all. Just like Bush was blamed for his slow response to Catrina.
@DarkFetishYaoi You better do some more reading about just how much experience Obama has had as senator. Obama's experience as a senator is weak at best. Remember he did vote "present" close to 120 times instead of "yes or "no'. The guy was afraid to make a decision in the senate and he's still afraid to make a decision as president. I can't wait till November!
@DarkFetishYaoi You better do some reading for 40% of BP is owned by U.S. citizens. Why the hell or we drilling 5,000 ft. below sea level instead of drill at sea level?
@Coolrockndad "Why the hell or we drilling 5,000 ft. below sea level instead of drill at sea level?" Answer: Because the "environmentalists" would not allow them to drill in 500-ft of water, as BP wanted to. Ironic isn't it.
They are like the the UNA-Bomber, but they use lawyers instead of bombs.
I do NOT call them Enviro-Marxists, even the Marxists occasionally built something, and they had no interest in forcing everyone back into the stone-age.
@Shroomn2hi BP would have just spilled closer to the shore. The Bush administration let oil companies write their own safety reviews, and turned it into a literal coke-fueled orgy between regulators and oil companies. Just the slightest bit of regulation enforcement would have prevented the spill.
@particle409 - There may not have even been a spill if drilling closer to shore. It is the unprecedented deep water operation that increased risk substantially. It is the deep water that made it nearly impossible to cap. Get it?
Even if there was a spill while drilling closer to shore, it would have been quickly capped, and the environmental impact would've been a tiny fraction of what actually happened.
@Shroomn2hi Clearly you've never visited a drilling operation! There's ALWAYS leakage! You really think there's no leakage RIGHT NOW at that well? They don't CARE about leakage as long as pressure stays within tolerance and the oil keeps flowing. Man there ARE a lot of people in need of a cure out there!
@Onewitnessus - Another illogical assumption. Can't fix stupid, no matter how education you receive in the military.
Fact is, I worked at a drill sight during summer out from University. Yes, I understand leakage is usual, but minimal and non-threatening to the environment. Do you even realize that oil is a natural occurring substance, and in areas seeps naturally into the environment?
I am not defending oil companies that skirt enviro safety, but when done right, it's not threatening.
@Shroomn2hi Man do you even THINK about what you say or do you just repeat every line you heard on the news??? The EPA has been fining the average Joe and local businesses for improper disposal of engine oil for years (25,000.00 fine)! EPA says 1 quart of oil contaminates 1 million gallons! Yet, when a big Corp like BP spills BILLIONS of gallons right INTO the water, the government says "it's bio-degradable." Think for YOURSELF for GOD'S SAKE!
@Onewitnessus - "The EPA says..." Stop right there and take you own advice. Think for yourself. Hoo boy.
Fining us for improperly disposing 1-qt is all about controlling us, not the environment. Billions of gallons of oil spilled in the gulf is of course very bad, but pouring millions of gallons of Corexit on it was even worse, and why so much marine life destroyed, and people in the area getting sick.
@Onewitnessus - Why not drill in water if it has been proven safe up to certain depths? The problem here is they were forced beyond their experience and technology by misguided environMENTALists.
If everyone followed your "common sense" you'd be burning trees to stay warm in the winter. Then, I'm sure you'd protest that as well.
But you are right about "no cure for stupid", even though you got the actual quote wrong as well ....("you can't fix stupid" - Ron White).
@Shroomn2hi The fact that you say it's safe to drill in 500 feet of water merely proves my point that there's no cure for stupidity! My father used to say "no CURE" for stupid his entire life and he was born in 1924 so I doubt HE was misquoting Ron White! With every comment you show you have an incurable disease!
@Shroomn2hi I didn't quote Ron White, I used a MUCH OLDER saying that's been around for over 150 years, and you tried to correct me because Ron White said it wrong, and I'm the Dolt? I wish there WAS a cure for stupid I might offer to pay for it for you!
@Shroomn2hi By the way, you're "quote" isn't even accurate. I spent 24 years in the military going behind people and fixing the results of their stupidity so you CAN FIX stupid it's called ed..u...cation (maybe you've heard of it). You can FIX stupid, there's just no curing it! I suppose you think Pres. Kennedy was the first person to say "we have nothing to fear but fear itself." Learn to think for yourself instead of regurgitating what people like Ron White and Rush Limbaugh say!
@Onewitnessus - idiot. you now off on a tangent arguing semantics. I must have hit a nerve.
Anyway, you must have wasted 24 years, because I am probably more familiar with education than you, having a BS and Master's degree. I happen to know from experience you can educate an idiot all you want, but they're still gonna end up an educated idiot at best. Education may provide a band-aid, but it isn't going to fix him. You seem to be a prime example of that.
@Shroomn2hi You have a BS and a Master's... see... you can FIX stupid, just can't cure it because with all your education you obviously still aren't cured!
@mavrek47 every one of your comments are exactly the same,your like a retarded version of Rainman meets The Planet of the Apes. the only person irrelevant here is you! your a total life fail.
It's just a scheme to show how "unsustainable" fossil fuels are, so the socialists can begin taxing and restricting us into inefficient and overpriced energy. Bringing us back into the stone age to limit our communication and incapacitate our freedom of speech!
Obama brought this stuff upon himself. When he was out there spouting messianic crap like "We're the ones you've been waiting for" or that his nomination marks when "the rise of the ocean began to slow and the planet began to heal" then he shouldn't be surprised that people are angered to discover that he's just a woefully inexperienced hack politician from Chicago.
Beautiful wife!! Oh Please, she's a Gargoyle; when she was in Nevada demonstrating to kids how they should exercise ... well, that was more than funny ... she was flapping her arms around & sticking that big wide derriere out when she bent over ... But even stranger was when she gave a speach at the beach that had been cleaned up during the oil-spill ... she wore white slacks with a white blouse (are you ready for this) that had black blotches on it ... like the oil mess left on the beach.
The people who support the democrats are too afraid to leave mom's side. They want mom and dad to take care of them, and support them for the rest of their lives. BUT, dad is the one to force them to man up and take responsibility of their own lives. Somehow, in the real world that is considered "harsh, evil and cruel" by the Democrats. Stop taking advantage of the Republicans and take care of your own life.
@KaiLuck "Republicans - Dad" Was your father a megalomaniacal sociopath that enjoyed starting wars in sovereign nations and stealing money for his corporate friends? Was he fond of wire tapping, torture, and abolishing Habeas Corpus as well?
@KaiLuck Terrific analogy. Too bad we had a dad that decided we should all take a vacation to the middle east, buy more vacation homes than what we could afford, and let our crazy uncles basically run rampant in our yard - until we went bankrupt. Now, mom has to fight all dad's side of the family as she tries to clean up the mess. Too bad Dad did not follow through on his threat to "turn the SUV around right now!" when the kids (and mom) were all telling him hei was lost and needed directions

@Diatonic5th A third party is just going to make it worse.
Liberals want to have a perfect world and Conservatives take it for what it is. A third party would be a group that is between all that which would want to make us all perfect and then make the third party a goal for total perfection even more than shittard liberals.
@rauwasp360 Incorrect. The GOP and Democrats are both corrupt at their very core. America does not have a government that is "of the people, by the people, for the people." The needs of global corporations, banks, and the military-industrial complex have overtaken the needs of the average citizen. Corporatism is killing America.
@Madisonmofo if you think we are living under capitalism with Obama you are WRONG. Obama is a big fat fucking socialist and maybe if you ask mommy and daddy they will tell you why Obama is a socialist.
If what I have described above is what in fact happened, then they can reinvent the subsea BOPs and install 15 pipe rams and 2 blind shears and they still will not close if this should happen again. They need to make sure they understand the ROOT cause and fix that. Other wise jobs are lost, money is spent and the situation has not changed and the danger is still real.
I just do not believe that so many things could have failed at the same time. I believe the BOP worked to the best of its ability, but could not cut because the casing had blown out of the hole. Many drill strings around the world weighing 100s of thousands of pounds have been blown out of the hole. There is no reason that would prevent casing from doing the same thing if gas was trapped behind casing.
12) The driller under these conditions probably would have pushed the shears to shear the drill pipe. If he did not, then the automatic system operated when communication was lost to the Pods and the shear rams tried to close automatically; they would not have been able to shear casing with drill-pipe inside. That would be why they did not have enough force to close and secure the well and that is the events that I believe have caused this disaster.
11) There was not supposed to be casing in the BOP. Casing had been ran and cemented 20 hours before. The driller would have closed the pipe rams, but they would not close on casing.
10) From what I read there was drill pipe in the hole at the time of the kick and explosion, so if the casing and casing hanger blew up through the BOP there was nothing that could actually close to seal this well. There were no casing rams in the BOP, and even if there had been the driller would not have closed them. If something could close around the casing such as the annular then there would still be flow between the inside of the casing and the drill pipe.
9) That Blow out is equal to a 9.25 PPG kick at 14,000 feet under the conditions described above and the gas build up behind casing. I have never heard of a kick greater then 3 PPG as a natural occurrence.
8) To my knowledge there is not a condition existing such as this in nature any where on this planet. While drilling formations from one to another; they do not have that rapid of a pressure change, nor do they have the ability to have that type of stored volume the moment you drill into the formation. This is more like drilling into the side of a compressed oxygen bottle with 6,740 PSI with a electric drill. Normal compressed gasses in bottles of any kind only have 3,000 PSI.
BOP in time. If the casing and hanger blew into the BOP there would have been nothing in the BOP that could have closed to stop the flow. (I believe this is the case.)
7) Regardless this was failure is equivalent to a 6,740 PSI under-balanced kick with a volume of approximately 100 barrels of compressed gas stored and waiting with a bubble pressure of 6,740 PSI and then an open formation with a BHP of 13,000 PSI following behind. It would have been next to impossible for a driller or anyone else to push the buttons fast enough to close the
6) If the casing parted somewhere below the hanger (which it most likely did) then the hanger itself could actually be in the BOP stack or again it could be above it with casing still inside the BOP.
It would have blown up inside the 21” riser to create enough by-pass for the well to blow out around it between the O.D. of the hanger and the I.D. of the marine riser.
5) It might make a difference now, concerning the killing of the well. If the casing shoe pulled out of the remaining cement and the casing is intact then the complete casing string blew up out of the hole so the casing hanger must be above the BOP. If this was the case then if the annular was closed it should have at least partially stopped the flow. The casing hanger and seal assembly was 18 ¾” which is the same as the I.D. of the well head and BOP.
4) As far as the kick and the burning of the rig it really does not matter at this point which of the two occurred the result is exactly the same and the time for it to occur would have only been milliseconds difference.
3) One of two things occurred. a) Either the shoe turned loose and the whole casing string blew out and up through the BOP and the blow out occurred behind casing from the annulus only. At this point it only needed to blow out approximately 200 bbls before gas would be above the BOP stack. That would not take 5 seconds with that type of pressure build up.
2) The top of the bubble was about 14,000 feet +- from surface and only 9,000 feet from the BOP. The well had more or less been displaced to sea water and the hydrostatic at 14,000 feet with sea water would be 6,260 PSI.
The upward force at this point on the casing string and casing hanger was 534,892 pounds above the actual weight of the casing that was ran.
1) There was a column of gas in the annulus with a volume of approximately 90 + barrels. It had a bubble pressure equal to BHP (bottom hole pressure) which is 13,000 PSI.
They have now decided to displace the marine riser from 14 PPG mud to 8.6 PPG sea water. This is going to react and increase the lifting forces because the downward forces are being reduced. If they had finished displacing the 14 PPG mud with 8.6 PPG sea water it would have reduced the hydrostatic by an additional 1,404 PSI. This is when the failure occurred and the well kicked and blew out.
Even at this point the hanger could have been blown out of the well head if there was no cement at all around the shoe. I do not know when they actually displaced the inside of the casing from mud to sea water or how much they displaced, but it would also have an affect; making a greater upward force.
If the gas had migrated 1000 more feet and forced another 1000 ft of mud back into the formation; there would now be about 90 barrels of compressed gas behind casing. The top of this gas bubble would be at a depth of 14,336 feet from the surface and still 9,336 ft below the BOP. The casing weight would now be a negative (-202,144) pounds and this is also the force pushing up on the bottom of the hanger.
It must be realized that since the well is now blowing out and the oil and gas is coming from the formation at the bottom of the well there can not be any cement around the casing at the top of the oil and gas bearing formation. Therefore it must have pushed most of the 48 bbls of cement into the formation as described above. There would have been about 3 bbls of cement between the float collar and shoe inside of the casing. There was 51 barrels total cement pumped.
The actual mud or cement which has been displaced and replaced with gas at this point is about 67 barrels. There had only been 51 barrels of cement pumped during the cement job. The cement would have covered about 2,200 feet behind casing originally or an interval from 18, 336 ft to 16,136 feet.
The hanging weight on the hanger now is 500,000 – 175,536 = casing weight of 324,464 pounds. The gas migrates another 1000 feet and forces the mud and cement back into the loss zone. The casing weight has lost another 175,536 pounds. Total casing weight is now 148,928 pounds. By the time the gas migrates 1000 feet more there is now a negative casing weight of (-26,608) pounds and instead of the hanger supporting weight; it is now holding pressure and pushing upwards with a force of 26,608 lbs
By the time the gas had migrated upwards the first 1000 feet or forced away 1000 feet of cement; there was 728 PSI exerted against the bottom of the casing hanger.
If you remember the total weight of the casing was 400,000 to 500,000 pounds. With this 728 PSI now pushing up on the bottom of the 237 square inches of the casing hanger it creates an upward force of 728 X 237= 175,536 pounds.
The reason for this is because as more and more mud and cement is replaced with gas behind the casing there is more and more pressure exerted upwards against the bottom of the casing hanger. There are around 205 square inches below the hanger if you base it on a 18.75” X 9.625 casing hanger.
As the gas behind casing was migrating, it was gradually forcing more and more of the 14 PPG mud and cement downward into the loss zone and into the actual oil // gas bearing formation. This is not changing the BHP (bottom hole pressure) of the well because there is a loss zone, but it is drastically changing the weight of the casing.
There are two different scenarios I could talk about, but since there was a loss zone in the well and it took 20 hours after cementing for the “well” to kick and the rig explode I am sure the gas was expanding as it was migrating. If it was not; the occurrences probably would have taken place much sooner.
I haven't seen a president play so much golf since Ford (and he was a LAME DUCK president). That says it all!

@Dalittheuntouchable On the contrary, Sadam actually claimed even after Israel bomed Iraq's only ractor in the 1980's that he had WMDs. GWB did not send a letter to the NK Dictator nor try to appease to an Iranian President who wrote poems about Iran being a Mater Nation.
Until Obama, there was no other terrorist attack on US soil nor any attempts on US Soil. But regardless Bush did increase regulation by 3.3 Percent.

@man11withaplan Now, I'd imagine with all his drinking, Bush woulda played a few rounds of poker. If it wasn't entirely obvious that his claims of WMD were bluffs, then I'll be damned. Now, you can't blame Obama for a terrorist attempt, that's just silly. As I see it, middle eastern insurgence wanted us to lose faith in a new leader, which does seem to have worked.

@Shroomn2hi BP would have just spilled closer to the shore. The Bush administration let oil companies write their own safety reviews, and turned it into a literal coke-fueled orgy between regulators and oil companies. Just the slightest bit of regulation enforcement would have prevented the spill.
particle409 7 months ago
@particle409 - There may not have even been a spill if drilling closer to shore. It is the unprecedented deep water operation that increased risk substantially. It is the deep water that made it nearly impossible to cap. Get it?
Even if there was a spill while drilling closer to shore, it would have been quickly capped, and the environmental impact would've been a tiny fraction of what actually happened.

@Shroomn2hi Clearly you've never visited a drilling operation! There's ALWAYS leakage! You really think there's no leakage RIGHT NOW at that well?

Fact is, I worked at a drill sight during summer out from University. Yes, I understand leakage is usual, but minimal and non-threatening to the environment. Do you even realize that oil is a natural occurring substance, and in areas seeps naturally into the environment?
I am not defending oil companies that skirt enviro safety, but when done right, it's not threatening.

If what I have described above is what in fact happened, then they can reinvent the subsea BOPs and install 15 pipe rams and 2 blind shears and they still will not close if this should happen again. They need to make sure they understand the ROOT cause and fix that. Other wise jobs are lost, money is spent and the situation has not changed and the danger is still real.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago 2
@mfbarnes52 I can copy an paste too!!! YAY!!!!!
andrew19k 1 year ago
I just do not believe that so many things could have failed at the same time. I believe the BOP worked to the best of its ability, but could not cut because the casing had blown out of the hole. Many drill strings around the world weighing 100s of thousands of pounds have been blown out of the hole. There is no reason that would prevent casing from doing the same thing if gas was trapped behind casing.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
12) The driller under these conditions probably would have pushed the shears to shear the drill pipe. If he did not, then the automatic system operated when communication was lost to the Pods and the shear rams tried to close automatically; they would not have been able to shear casing with drill-pipe inside. That would be why they did not have enough force to close and secure the well and that is the events that I believe have caused this disaster.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
11) There was not supposed to be casing in the BOP. Casing had been ran and cemented 20 hours before. The driller would have closed the pipe rams, but they would not close on casing.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago 2
10) From what I read there was drill pipe in the hole at the time of the kick and explosion, so if the casing and casing hanger blew up through the BOP there was nothing that could actually close to seal this well. There were no casing rams in the BOP, and even if there had been the driller would not have closed them. If something could close around the casing such as the annular then there would still be flow between the inside of the casing and the drill pipe.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
9) That Blow out is equal to a 9.25 PPG kick at 14,000 feet under the conditions described above and the gas build up behind casing. I have never heard of a kick greater then 3 PPG as a natural occurrence.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
8) To my knowledge there is not a condition existing such as this in nature any where on this planet. While drilling formations from one to another; they do not have that rapid of a pressure change, nor do they have the ability to have that type of stored volume the moment you drill into the formation. This is more like drilling into the side of a compressed oxygen bottle with 6,740 PSI with a electric drill. Normal compressed gasses in bottles of any kind only have 3,000 PSI.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
BOP in time. If the casing and hanger blew into the BOP there would have been nothing in the BOP that could have closed to stop the flow. (I believe this is the case.)
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
7) Regardless this was failure is equivalent to a 6,740 PSI under-balanced kick with a volume of approximately 100 barrels of compressed gas stored and waiting with a bubble pressure of 6,740 PSI and then an open formation with a BHP of 13,000 PSI following behind. It would have been next to impossible for a driller or anyone else to push the buttons fast enough to close the
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
6) If the casing parted somewhere below the hanger (which it most likely did) then the hanger itself could actually be in the BOP stack or again it could be above it with casing still inside the BOP.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
It would have blown up inside the 21” riser to create enough by-pass for the well to blow out around it between the O.D. of the hanger and the I.D. of the marine riser.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
5) It might make a difference now, concerning the killing of the well. If the casing shoe pulled out of the remaining cement and the casing is intact then the complete casing string blew up out of the hole so the casing hanger must be above the BOP. If this was the case then if the annular was closed it should have at least partially stopped the flow. The casing hanger and seal assembly was 18 ¾” which is the same as the I.D. of the well head and BOP.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
4) As far as the kick and the burning of the rig it really does not matter at this point which of the two occurred the result is exactly the same and the time for it to occur would have only been milliseconds difference.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
b) The casing actually parted and the hanger and the casing blew up through the BOP and the kick is coming from inside and outside the casing.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
3) One of two things occurred. a) Either the shoe turned loose and the whole casing string blew out and up through the BOP and the blow out occurred behind casing from the annulus only. At this point it only needed to blow out approximately 200 bbls before gas would be above the BOP stack. That would not take 5 seconds with that type of pressure build up.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
2) The top of the bubble was about 14,000 feet +- from surface and only 9,000 feet from the BOP. The well had more or less been displaced to sea water and the hydrostatic at 14,000 feet with sea water would be 6,260 PSI.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
The upward force at this point on the casing string and casing hanger was 534,892 pounds above the actual weight of the casing that was ran.
1) There was a column of gas in the annulus with a volume of approximately 90 + barrels. It had a bubble pressure equal to BHP (bottom hole pressure) which is 13,000 PSI.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
They have now decided to displace the marine riser from 14 PPG mud to 8.6 PPG sea water. This is going to react and increase the lifting forces because the downward forces are being reduced. If they had finished displacing the 14 PPG mud with 8.6 PPG sea water it would have reduced the hydrostatic by an additional 1,404 PSI. This is when the failure occurred and the well kicked and blew out.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
Even at this point the hanger could have been blown out of the well head if there was no cement at all around the shoe. I do not know when they actually displaced the inside of the casing from mud to sea water or how much they displaced, but it would also have an affect; making a greater upward force.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
If the gas had migrated 1000 more feet and forced another 1000 ft of mud back into the formation; there would now be about 90 barrels of compressed gas behind casing. The top of this gas bubble would be at a depth of 14,336 feet from the surface and still 9,336 ft below the BOP. The casing weight would now be a negative (-202,144) pounds and this is also the force pushing up on the bottom of the hanger.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
It must be realized that since the well is now blowing out and the oil and gas is coming from the formation at the bottom of the well there can not be any cement around the casing at the top of the oil and gas bearing formation. Therefore it must have pushed most of the 48 bbls of cement into the formation as described above. There would have been about 3 bbls of cement between the float collar and shoe inside of the casing. There was 51 barrels total cement pumped.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
The actual mud or cement which has been displaced and replaced with gas at this point is about 67 barrels. There had only been 51 barrels of cement pumped during the cement job. The cement would have covered about 2,200 feet behind casing originally or an interval from 18, 336 ft to 16,136 feet.
mfbarnes52 1 year ago
The hanging weight on the hanger now is 500,000 – 175,536 = casing weight of 324,464 pounds. The gas migrates another 1000 feet and forces the mud and cement back into the loss zone. The casing weight has lost another 175,536 pounds. Total casing weight is now 148,928 pounds. By the time the gas migrates 1000 feet more there is now a negative casing weight of (-26,608) pounds and instead of the hanger supporting weight; it is now holding pressure and pushing upwards with a force of 26,608 lbs

By the time the gas had migrated upwards the first 1000 feet or forced away 1000 feet of cement; there was 728 PSI exerted against the bottom of the casing hanger.
If you remember the total weight of the casing was 400,000 to 500,000 pounds. With this 728 PSI now pushing up on the bottom of the 237 square inches of the casing hanger it creates an upward force of 728 X 237= 175,536 pounds.

But in reality there was another (size step down) in the well casing design because they ran a 7” X 9.625” casing string.
The actual square inch surface area that pressure will react against is 18.75” X 7” = 237 square inches.

The reason for this is because as more and more mud and cement is replaced with gas behind the casing there is more and more pressure exerted upwards against the bottom of the casing hanger. There are around 205 square inches below the hanger if you base it on a 18.75” X 9.625 casing hanger.

As the gas behind casing was migrating, it was gradually forcing more and more of the 14 PPG mud and cement downward into the loss zone and into the actual oil // gas bearing formation. This is not changing the BHP (bottom hole pressure) of the well because there is a loss zone, but it is drastically changing the weight of the casing.

There are two different scenarios I could talk about, but since there was a loss zone in the well and it took 20 hours after cementing for the “well” to kick and the rig explode I am sure the gas was expanding as it was migrating. If it was not; the occurrences probably would have taken place much sooner.
