wakey wakey :>) Damn, Triff,have we been getting trolls there, or what? I'll be glad when this is over, and they can all get back to burning oil again. == Triffin on May 26, 2010 - 9:31am I really, really, hope that the Top Kill works .. But, if it doesn't, and the primary leak/spill is at the BOP, then I'd think the next effort would be to capture the flow as best as possible while the RWs are being drilled .. The idea that I've been noodling around is as follows: Lower a large diameter concrete or steel tube with open ends of sufficient diameter to encircle the entire BOP .. I'm thinking something 16-20' diameter and 40-60' long or long enough that once it has settled into the seabed that the top of the "tube" is higher than the BOP .. A sort of chimney if you will .. Then lower something like the "top hat" device or inverted funnel with a riser of sufficient diameter to avoid hydrate formation; onto the top of the previously placed large diameter tube .. I'm not sure that the two pieces would have to even make a complete seal with one another .. The idea is to capture the bulk of the flow from the BOP until the RWs can be completed .. ROCKMAN .. Is this at all feasible ?? Triff ..
