re:: >>> 2) They did not install somehow or another at least one major casing segment seal, and the remaining seals are now either completely blown out or on their way to it and as a result oil and gas flow is not only coming up the inside of the casing, but the outside of the casing between the casing and well bore walls in the rock.
3) BP specified a light and fluffy cement and, additionally, there may be significant breaches and voids making the cement job weak and disintegrating.
4) Even at best, the cement is in the upper depths of the well bore where the natural geologic rock structure is the loosest, weakest, most porous and fragile (hell some of it may effectively be silt). The oil and gas, which has a natural well pressure of 12,000 or so psi is going to erode and corrode through and around the cement and the porous well bore rock. <<<<
Me from a month ago..
""" I also wouldn't be surprised if the thing is spilling OUTSIDE the CASING.. Between the wall rock and the CASING due to a LOUSY cementing job and that could become a catastrophe, if not already is, as that, the bore wall rock, wears down so damn fast it could quickly swallow up anything sent down including their upside down funnel. This is a worth a try though, imo......""
