The one thing I've taken from this is that every single deep water well ought to have relief wells in place before they drill into the pocket of oil. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 19:54 6
- I'm sure they're getting right on that. -- nm - Qale Jun 20, 21:32
- my concern about that is that it triples the chances of an accident - but it sure could limit the impact of such an accident :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 20:16 4
  - (Also, they should also always use proper-density drilling mud, and they should always splurge on extra safety systems) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 20:16 3
    - I'm actually thinking that they could have crimped the pipe and closed off most of the flow except they were hoping to capture the oil instead... - zeitgeist Jun 20, 21:33 1
