Well......... THIS is rosy:
- Thread starter Xenomorph
- Start date
the volume calc is a SWAG due to the thickness thing.
But, it's probably more in the ballpark than calculating 5,000 bpd for 11 days. I always wondered about the 5,000 bpd figure, because while that's a very good oil well almost anywhere in the world, it's not worth a multi-billion dollar investment for further development, and it wouldn't be worth it to BP to run production casing in it.
It will, no doubt, be a bigger deal than the Valdez.
And. no, oil companies will not be able to write it off as business as usual. There will be serious consequences as a result of this.

and I'm not sure how many of the wells had actually been drilled... but I would guess that they had more than 10 wells off of that platform... all of which probably could produce up to 10,000 BPD. If they had just run casing, I would bet that they hadn't done much completion work to the well either.<div>
</div><div>I know Thunderhorse has 19 wells and a 250,000 BPD capacity. In 2008 when they decided to start producing, after they cut the 3rd well online, they were already at the 250,000 BPD capacity and are still basically choking back the other wells until the current ones deplete. Not sure if Horizon falls into this same category or not, but I wouldn't doubt it one bit if it did.</div><div>
</div><div>I'm hoping to hear more on Horizon's overall plan soon and what exactly they were expecting out of the reservoirs there.</div>

He's pretty good at drilling. (/twss)
Seriously, though, my father-in-law keeps his fishing boat in Lafitte. He got a call this weekend asking if he would rent his boat out for $500/day for crews putting out booms. This is going to be very ugly by the time it's over.
