It says:<br /><br /> "That anontech gave a more consistent picture of what's gone on the last two days than any official BP spokesperson, so I think it's probably an accurate report.<br /><br />In other words, we know they pumped a huge amount of mud through the thing and stopped midnight Wednesday without announcing it. Suspicious minds suspected the amount of pressurization vs. volume of mud wasn't working out.<br /><br />Then they junk-shotted it, which isn't expected to full block the leakage but rather to reduce it so less mud makes more pressure countering the well pressure.<br /><br />Following this, more mud, and now a halt, and the anontech saying something consistent with this grim picture: <br /><br />"I don't know if we can round up enough mud".<br /><br />In other words, BP's not lying when they tell the CG admiral that they're able to build enough pressure to get some mud down the hole.<br /><br />Obviously they succeeded in this, otherwise it would not have spewed mud for hours after they quit pumping (i.e. mud, oil, and gas were pushed up the hole and through the riser leaks rather than just oil and gas).<br /><br />But they're not being straight because the problem is that it's just taking too much bleeping mud due to the amount of leakage.<br /><br />That's what I get out of this, anyway. Speculation with some foundation in stuff said over at the oil drum."Steve Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808202186253600821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-91367690164347927572010-05-28T15:18:46.039-07:002010-05-28T15:18:46.039-07:00Strange, a previous post has gone astray ...
