Ladies and Gentlemen: WILL YOUR SOLUTION WORK BETTER THAN THIS ?

Ixtoc 1 with these same players apparently tried a Sombrero capture which failed. The LMRP if properly sealed against the Flange with super screws plus
held down with a beveled MACHINED SEAL against the FLANGE UPPER SECTION would be similar to the CPP but remember they intend to reduce the outlet
pipe and also not cut away the increased flow riser stub which should perhaps be hydraulically BORED OUT if they are not going to take and use ROV’s with
sockets to take apart the entire flange. Notice the flange is put together with some Bolt heads going UP and some bolt heads going DOWN due to the
restrictions. Cutting the Riser that is showing such damage and stretch areas is dangerous if they intend to use same with super weights on top which is going
to create pressure itself. Anything would initially work to drain off a little OIL but without full complete seal with 30,000 PSI weights or total securing with
shutoffs what chance do you feel would be involved Steve? America cannot keep waiting for this rig to be either SAFE or SECURED ! I add one of my son’s in
these messages now as Adrian is in North Carolina which may be involved with anticipated ‘relocation or evacuation’ should any more problems from
another BP rig or Trans Ocean Rig get involved now or later because of the time taken to review everything and make suggestions since 042610.

See the same flange above the BOP connections with matches perhaps identical to the top of the BOP. Wonder if somewhere BOP does have the top Flange
with 21 inch riser package which can be brought to the scene and matched up with special consideration to using EXTERNAL LINES with check valves for
HYDRAULIC leaving MUD lines or Cement Lines the same. Critical is the Hydraulic Lines with Check Valves plus perhaps 5000 feet of hydraulic lines strapped
to the side of the flotation unit. Flotation unit is the ONLY ANSWER to keep the pipe floating easily from BOP to Gulf Surface. Don’t ask me which GE pipe
color is heavier Flotation but ALL HAVE COLLARS OF FLOTATION NOT SEEN YET ON ANY RISER PIPE FROM DEEPWATER HORIZON.

As stated if 350 Rigs have no flotation then the entire gulf is in trouble at any moment and Florida plus North America, Islands and even Europe may be in
danger if another well goes crazy blowing out. Suggestions for LAWS AND INSPECTIONS relative to these 8 story units lying on the sea bed with special TEES
where CEMENT AND VALVES CAN SHUT DOWN ALL UNITS were sent after thinking carefully about this site and dangers to rig crews plus those in the Gulf
region. At 70 I do not have to worry but when will those CAPPED STEEL PIPE CASINGS RUPTURE OR FRACTURE BLOWING FULL CONTAMINATION ON LAND
AND SEA ??? How long before a 7.0 or 8.9 EARTHQUAKE makes these items fall over on the ocean floor causing utter DISASTER ? 1979 Ixtoc 1 proved it can
happen in a flash to these same players. Today is June 2 of 2010. The President and Federal Inspectors NEVER took into account this type of disaster….NOW
THEY WILL PAY ATTENTION !

Why will no one get another BOP top flange, put in the same pipe connections for hydraulic and Mud, make the entire pipe section FLOTATION GE RISER
staying at 21 inches then ensure check valves on hydraulic to repower the BOP and have check valves at initial connection and near top of Gulf as they build
it with ALL FLOTATION RISE GE PIPE. Seems one would desire NEVER to see the pipe fall to the sea bed and crimp in so many places thus the SUPER
FLOTATION PIPE would be in order and actually should be mandatory in all Rigs.

GE HMF Class H 21 Inch Riser is all FLOTATION PERFECTION

Flotation allows no doubt for OIL, Water, Gas, but minus
Check Valves and Shutoff Valves (GATE VALVES ROUND
WHEEL SO ROV CAN SHUT IT DOWN UP NEAR SURFACE
OR DOWN NEAR BOP )

GOD HELP NORTH AMERICA AND ALL ISLANDS IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED AND STOPPED SOON !

Ralph - Brad

can your solution work faster than what they are proposing below?

if so....contact below parties would make sense? if...you can get through?

Steve

"BP executives had given the top kill procedure a 60 to 70 per cent chance of success. It came after earlier attempts to mitigate the disaster also failed. A giant
cofferdam lifted over the site of the leak, designed to capture and funnel the oil, proved ineffective after ice crystals developed and buoyed the structure.

The latest idea is to place a smaller cap, called a "lower marine riser package", over the hole in a procedure that will involve cutting off the broken drilling pipe on
the seabed.

The US government said last night that BP planned to start this procedure in the next couple days, but warned that the operation would increase the flow of oil by
10 per cent to 20 per cent in the short term before the cap was in place.

There is "no guarantee" that this tricky procedure will be a success either, Mr Dudley said.

BP's engineers, operating at the site of the leak using remote controlled robots because it is too deep to reach by any other means,"
