The other side of that.... there's a lot of people in the business that mabey don't have a lot of life experience. They know how to do work on these wells 'by the book'.... insofar as they have one way of doing things and that's where their experience lies. What they need right now is someone who has ample experience with.... developing 'presidential solutions'. Pardon the phrase. Combine that with someone who actually knows the cababilities of those ROV's.
It does strike me that what they're trying right now is plainly doomed to fail as they're basically trying to fit a cap with a hose nipple about 1/10 the size of the well pipe in terms of flow capacity.... I mean there isn't a lot of understanding of hydraulics there if they're trying something like that. AS far as I can tell right now there's as much oil pouring out around the cap as there is going out through the nipple. The basic premise might work if they fitted a full flow valve in place with a decent riser above it... I'd also wonder if it isn't possible to weld it in place... I mean... robotic welding is not a new thing nor is underwater welding... Question is... logistically can a robot weld under water and can you get a power supply to 4900 feet of depth... The only way I see them ever stopping that leak from the top is with a very small team of cowboys... and the 'cowboys' of the cowboys at that. Average isn't going to cut it this time.
