Ralph C. Whitley - Backflow Prevention - Ideas and Responses to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Mr. Babic and others:

I have not a clue why BP or the U.S. Government will not obtain a new top flange for the BOP, add anything stopping the leak.  It is anticipated that more leaks will be forthcoming since the 8 story tall BOP standing free on the bottom of the Gulf at 5000 feet was stressed from the PULL of the rig out of control which stretched all belief losing the Thruster Engines to keep it on position thus pulling 5,000 feet of riser which pulled with terrific force on the 175 TONS of mass plus bent the riser in an instant making it fall to the sea bed.  The casing might be damaged as there is no conceivable reason why these items should be free standing UP.

My old Professional Comments relative to lying down on the back BOP installations with shutoffs and tee with shutoff on all outlets then lying the BOP down on giant “I” beams allows for instant removal for future but now my interest is peaked with revelations of hidden leaks in the sea bed floor, possibly from the same well or another, unreported to the U.S. Government under EPA SPILL standards. America is going to have one heck of a time recovering from this monumental STUPID SPILL.  Stupid because BP should have been pushed aside on 042010 and the leak stopped in the Interests of National Security saving our Gulf and possibly Eastern Seaboard, Islands to the South, Fish, shellfish, costing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF NOT TRILLIONS IN DAMAGE WHICH MAY NEVER ALLOW THE GULF OR FISH TO COME BACK FOR 30 YEARS.

ALL RIGS WITH EVEN SMALL LEAKS PUTTING OIL OR GAS INTO THE GULF WATER SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPORT SAME !

MY PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH INDICATED 1 GALLON OF OIL RUINS 240,000 GALLONS OF SEA WATER LET ALONE FRESH !

ALL DESALINATION PLANTS WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOWN ALL OVER THE GULF AND ISLANDS DUE TO FRESH WATER GONE !

BUY STOCK IN BOTTLED WATER FOLKS AS THAT WILL BECOME THE ONLY FRESH WATER AVAIABLE AND TRUSTED !

As a Professional I knew and still know the LEAK COULD BE STOPPED IN 8 HOURS FLAT using your Inventions.  Should any of these deep rigs go bad at the casing I do hope UNCLE will have a barge full of FRICTION PLUGS to seal deep in the ground leaks should casings fail …. I still believe those 178 TON BOP’s can be yanked up out of the sea bed to seal the well in a LAST EFFORT before the GULF fills up with OIL some inches on the shorelines and all underwater areas.   Take a look around, breathe clean air because the STENCH FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS WILL START shortly with dead creatures of all kinds washing up on shores.   BP does not have enough money in their wildest dreams to PAY ALL DAMAGES and why America has let BP keep this flow into the Gulf going is beyond this Old Contractor’s ability to fathom.  Too many County, Municipal and State CONTRACTORS AND WORKERS are there who know automatically how to stop the leak in 8 HOURS.   I even asked Cameron to give out the specifications and exact measurements of the top BOP FLANGE so it could be machined EMERGENCY and replaced with shutoff’s just like the one shown in your Christmas Tree Flange but maybe SANTA will bring clear thought to our Elected Officials all over the United States.

The Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug with machined SLEEVE super thick would have fit perfectly over the BOP FLANGES AT TOP, sealed the unit and allowed BP to pull OFF the oil full bore.

Cameron, the MAKER OF THE BOP, has yet to provide the exact measurements to anyone and I doubt if BP CEO TONY HAYWARD will be diving with a TAPE to measure precisely the surface measurements of that flange plus all bolt patterns and connections for extra lines.  The Hydraulic Line without a Check Valve seems dangerous plus free standing 178 TON 8 STORY BOP seems actually STUPID to a Plumbing Contractor State Certified CFC032631 in Tampa, Florida.  Just as stupid is two modules ON the BOP which control electric components and batteries NOT INSTANTLY CHANGED like on ship fed lines with batteries constantly charging with SOLAR CHARGERS O RIGS.  To think there are some 4,000 potential disasters in the Gulf alone is frightening for the Planet as many are out in other Nations or other Off Shore sectors with the same STUPID UPRIGHT INSTALLATION ON SPECIAL FLANGES constantly RUSTING and one day in the future FOLKS this nightmare will happen again because NO AGENCY INSPECTS WITH ROV ALL RISERS to make sure they are Flotation ONLY design nor do they apparently REPORT LEAKS OF ANY KIND.

Spill a gallon of gas at the gas station and UNCLE will be there, removing dirt in BARRELS marked Contaminated sealed and taken to a conveyor where the soil will be burned by high heat conveyors and soil recovered…..think about the BILLIONS OF POUNDS OF OIL SOAKED BEACH SAND NOW PICKED UP, BAGGED AND PERHAPS REMOVED TO SOME LANDFILL WHERE IT EVENTUALLY MAY DETERIORATE THE PLASTIC WITH CHEMICALS IN SAME, LEACH INTO THE SAND, BE WASHED INTO THE AQUIFER FOR WATER PLANTS ALL OVER THE GULF TO TURN INTO DANGEROUS WATER SOLD TO CUSTOMERS OR WORSE THE WELLS WILL BE CONTAMINATED.  The very reason Ruth DeLaMater Bundy and Ralph Charles Whitley, Sr. ONLY DRINK DISTILLED WATER !   Think E-COLI tests to well water make sense and protect you from Chemicals and Pesticides, trace metals and drugs diluted…..think again as even AP showed CONTAMINATED TAP WATER searches on Google that the water and CONTAMINATED FAUCET AERATOR showed super deadly bacteria on EVERY FAUCET AERATOR IN AMERICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD in Hotels, Motels, Cruise Ships, Aircraft, Ships, Submarines, Living Quarters Civilian and Military, Commercial and Residential Buildings.    DRINK WATER AND DIE ?

OH YES….Schools for children, adults, training and other uses such as retreats will CLOSE DOWN FOR 8 WEEKS PERHAPS SUMMER VACATION.   Imagine the Chlorine LEAVING the water in 4 days open to SUPER BACTERIA CULTURES TO COLONIZE.  Along comes the adults and children after the vacation drinking HIGH BACTERIA WATER, GETTING SICK and people will blame it on someone sneezing in their presence…..the real cause is the super bacteria in hot and cold water lines plus aerators and shower heads.   Imagine closing down your summer home for 6 months then coming back and acting as if it never was closed…..NUM NUM BACTERIA TASTES GOOD !   No County, State or City requirements for a CHLORINE SHOCK of those closed buildings…..now move into a FEMA TRAILER as it has been sitting idle for one full year with ONLY BACTERIA EVERYWHERE !

Stay SAFE….. Mr. President I can tell you who needs there ASS KICKED ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND ! 

How many deaths until you take over with the USCG and U.S. Navy sealing this leak by simply replacing the top flange on the BOP with a shutoff ?

Ralph Charles Whitley, Sr.

060910  Shhhhhh.  America is SLEEPING and dreaming of vacations for summer for the children !

First:

Let me tell everyone that what you see on CNN is only a fraction of what is needed to confirm or reject these Vertical 8 story items are DANGEROUS as the power is in two modules on top at 5,000 feet below the surface of the GULF plus the riser piping seems minus a check valve to keep the critical hydraulic oil inside the unit.  My request for a diagram and possibly ability to get a top flange in the hands of the USCG, PRESIDENT AND BP for completely stopping this leak is CRITICAL DUE TO THE FAILURE OF BP to design a TOP HAT to fit precisely over the flange due to cuts just above flange on right side of riser plus top of riser is bent and damaged so immediate fit is impossible.   Brad Wehde had an idea using the REAMER to cut out the bad riser and ream deep into the flange then submit a formed plug which would grab the sides of the flange which is PERFECTLY ROUND and seal same forever.   BP desires to keep drawing OIL so 49 DAYS STALLING resulted in Top Hat 4 only getting perhaps 20 percent of the MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL going into the Gulf.    Such is unacceptable as for less perhaps than $20,000.00 and EIGHT HOURS TOPS a Branko R. Babic SLEEVE WITH WEIGHTS PLUS 21 INCH RISER PIPE WITH PRESSURE RATED GATE VALVE AND CIRCULAR WHEEL FOR ROV USE PLUS PIPE ON THE OUTGOING SIDE OF THE SHUTOFF TO A FLANGE would have allowed placing the item SECURELY on the flange machined surfaces with super heavy weights and special clearance on the OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF FLANGE ONE and more opening for the special clearance of OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF FLANGE TWO NEAREST TO BOP with the item super thick machined with super bolt holes drilled and tapped allowing locking down the unit over the second flange with threads and super bolts perhaps 2 inches or more solid steel or even stainless with enough clearance to pull into the flange and hold everything tight.

COMPLETE SAVE WOULD INVOLVE A NEW FLANGE, NEW RISER AND NEW SHUTOFF DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF BOP WHEN THE TOP FLANGE WAS REMOVED THEN ATTACHING THE NEW FLANGE WITH PIPE FLO THRU AND SHUTOFF THEN PIPE THEN FLANGE WOULD ALLOW ATTACHMENT TO A FEMALE FLANGE RISER GE FLOTATION AND THAT FIRST CONNECTION FROM THE SURFACE WOULD HAVE A FEMALE FLANGE WITH SHUTOFF THEN GO UP TO THE NEXT SECTION.  SUCH WOULD ALLOW THE MAIN DUMP OF OIL, GAS TO THE FLANGE UP RISER PAST SHUTOFF TO FLANGE AND WHEN SHUTOFF WAS CLOSED PARTIALLY THE FLOW OF OIL WOULD BE LESS BUT STILL THE RISER TO SURFACE WITH A WATERPROOF COVER COULD HAVE COVER REMOVED AND ALL FROM THE SURFACE WOULD HAVE NOTHING INSIDE PIPE….THEN ATTACHMENT SLOWLY TO RISER FEMALE FLANGE OVER THE SHUTOFF WOULD WASH ANY WATER OR OIL RESIDUE OFF OF THE MALE FLANGE THEN ONCE CONNECTED ALL WOULD BE NECESSARY IS TURNING OPEN THE RISER SHUTOFF AND OPENING THE BOP TOP FLANGE SHUTOFF TO PUSH ALL OIL AND GAS TO THE SURFACE WITHOUT ONE DROP GOING INTO THE GULF AND THAT RISER WOULD BE FLOTATION GE TYPE RISER ALL THE WAY TO THE SURFACE WITH ANOTHER SHUTOFF SOME 300 FEET BEFORE SURFACE AS A BACKUP PROTECTION DEVICE WHICH COULD BE SHUT OFF BY A ROV IMMEDIATELY IN AN EMERGENCY AND THE ENTIRE RISER WOULD STAND UP WITH FLOTATION.    ALL would be possible with the new Cameron BOP top flange and a new riser package with care to insure a check valve on the hydraulic lines at BOP and top at surface 200 feet or so down from the sea bed.       BP would have saved $750 MILLION using the Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug or Counter Pressure Plug with sleeve, shutoff and flange OR replacing the BOP top flange and connections to flotation RISER GE PIPE once a shutoff was in place to slow down the flow then leave it open full going up to the top vessel.

Such replacement of the TOP FLANGE ON BOP would allow temporary shutdown for months if necessary to move more equipment and recover items on the bottom including the 11 men dead resting on the sea bed of the Gulf because then the ROV lights could find those bodies and remove the men to the surface using special slings with 55 gallon drums with covers added once they reached the surface to be transferred to crafts to be taken to a CORONER then buried with the family finally having closure while the Investigation continues retrieving all RISER PIPING, RIG and other items on the sea floor.  A full investigation would reveal many things and some may even go to JAIL !

http://dailyhurricane.com/2010/05/acoustic-switch-would-not-have-saved-bp-well.html

Here many will see exactly and precisely what these monster BOP’s are all about and remember the power is usually in a MODULE down 5,000 feet and it memory serves me correct the CAMERON BOP ON THE DEEPWATER HORIZON was a 2001 installation having two modules with batteries plus some other items such as a super large 36 inch match up flange with something on the bottom perhaps attached to the casing.  Casing could have a rupture from the intense stress placed upon same when the rig went off course uncontrollably loosing thruster correction motors and pull from Gulf Waves and other stress pulling on the Riser not only could have damaged the UNDERSEA CASING but also damaged the riser at the TOP FLANGE which was considered critical to stop the flow in the GULF right now and since 042610.

FOR THOSE CAPABLE OF MAKING DRAWINGS AND REQUESTING PICTURES OF A BOP, FLANGED TEE, FLANGED HIGH PRESSURE GATE VALVES WITH WHEEL SHUTOFF, 90 DEGREE ELL FLANGED AND BOP LYING ON THE SEA BED WITH CONNECTIONS TO SPOOL PIECES OR WHATEVER WOULD MAKE IT SAFE CAN REVIEW THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS THEN MAKE UP SOMETHING:

Now see if you can follow.  8 Story BOP is laid down on steel “I” beams Standard painted or dipped maybe 100 feet wide.

Perhaps 20 “I” Beams are placed on the ocean floor near the casing which has a TEE with ALL GATE VALVES ON EACH THREE FLANGES.   FLOW THRU TO TOP OF GULF WITH SIDE OUTLET HORIZONTAL WITH GATE VALVE THEN SPACER OR SPOOL TO BOTTOM OF BOP CASING MATCH UP SEALED ON BOTTOM OF BOP.    OUT OF TOP OF BOP THERE IS A FLANGED 90 DEGREE ELL AFTER ANOTHER SPACER OR SPOOL TURNING UP TOWARD SURFACE WITH A SHUTOFF VALVE THEN FLANGE TO JOIN SURFACE RISER WHICH ALSO HAS A SECOND FLANGED SHUTOFF AND FLANGE MALE TO FIT PERFECTLY WITH BOP OUTGOING ITEMS.

Purpose….get the 178 TONS off of the Casing and insure the BOP cannot be pulled out of line or fracture the casing itself.  Multiple shutoffs allow BOP to be removed if necessary for repairs.   TOP FLOW ON THE TEE would have a super flange sealing the top shutoff area and having special welded flanges of perhaps 10 inch pipe X 2 for MUD and CEMENT to be pumped under super pressure forcing the oil and gas back and sealing the well casing then closing the supply side shutoff will allow the concrete to set up without blocking the shutoff globe valve seals.   One could ARGUE for a WYE FITTING OR TWO WYE FITTINGS ON THE CASING RISER BEFORE SHUTOFF WITH THEIR OWN SHUTOFFS TO ALLOW MUD OR CONCRETE TO BE PUMPED IN BEFORE SHUTOFF IS OPENED AS ONCE CLOSED YOU COULD PUMP ANY AMOUNT OF CONCRETE MIXED WITH FRESH WATER OR MUD MIXED WITH FRESH WATER INTO THE WELL CASING HOWEVER DEEP DESIRED TO SEAL A WELL OR STOP PRESSURE PROBLEMS SHOULD A CASING BE DAMAGED.

I am not an artist but surely Brad or even Steve can take the written ideas, look at the flanged items and place them in a drawing to show WHY A BOP must be lying down on the sea floor with I beams under same.

Gentlemen:

Sent the message to Cameron and the lady I know sent it to the Assistant to the CEO. Once we get something in will send it forward to you for drawings.

Keep in mind the depiction below shows ONE PIPE for riser when there were actually perhaps 4 or 5 to the TOP of the BOP and furthermore I doubt if the 178 TON unit is standing unsupported in waves that is why we recommended the President make the BOP lie down on the Gulf Sea Bed on HUGE THICK I-BEAMS to support unit thinking North and South BOP East and West I-BEAMS.  The bottom flange shown should match up with a flanged TEE with three valves such as ball valves for shutting down or dumping mud and cement down hole by isolating the Horizontal Tee component to the BOP flange and out of the top of the BOP having a 90 degree ell with Shutoff before flange going to surface …..preferably mandated FULL FLOTATION RISER PIPING up 5,000 feet with connections or flanges every 90 feet or so on that GE FLOTATION RISER.

I cringe thinking of some 3000 or more items with full pressure and gas in the GULF in case of Terrorist Attack, Earthquake or TSUNAMI breaking these off at the casing and NO ONE CAN STOP IT !

Branko R. Babic FRICTION PLUG may have to be used quickly on some 30 rigs with these 8 Story Tall items not able to stop from falling over and breaking the seal at the CASING TOP SECTION when falling over.    T H A T     I S    R E A L L Y  SCARY !

Add another FEAR…..some of these rigs were shut down and cement poured into casings…..what is the RUST THROUGH TIME for blowouts and did they seal the top of the Casing with a BLANK FLANGE ITEM OR SHUTOFF ?   Leaving a bit of worry for our GRANDCHILDREN AND PLANET EARTH ARE WE ? 

Uncle needs to use some ROV’s with lights and camera on all rig piping and bottom BOP connections.   ALSO INCLUDE A REASON

WHY ANY BOP WOULD HAVE A CONTROL MODULE WITH BATTERY PERHAPS ON THE BOTTOM RATHER THAN USE CONTROL FROM THE TOP AND ABILITY TO CHARGE AND CHANGE THOSE NEAT BATTERIES FROM THE TOP VESSEL CONTROLLING SAME. THEY MAY ALSO FIND THE 11 BODIES IF LOOKING IN THE AREA CONFIRMING EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF RISER WAS USED BY DEEPWATER HORIZON AND OTHERS.

According to my 2006 FBI BULLETIN writing the 11 should start surfacing into FEEDING AREAS very shortly and I am appalled that no effort was made to take the ROV’s IDLE ALL DAY LONG to the bottom for a controlled 5 mile grid search of the area to find the bodies then send down 55 gallon drums open top with water to carefully pick up the body and take it individually to the surface in the same sling barrel 55 gallon drum where it will be transferred to fast launch in the barrel and water to the shore to be taken to a CORONER.    VICK’s VAPORUB under nose and in each nostril then wearing OBA would help as the stench would be difficult for many people to bear and a SEALING TOP would be necessary over the barrel folks as body fluids would perhaps leak into the barrel water.

BEEN THERE….DONE THAT AT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL MORGUE AS A FUZZ WITH DR. JOHN FEEGEL OR FEEGLE AND HIS STAFF YEARS AGO AS A CITY OF TAMPA POLICE OFFICER BADGE 435 FROM LATE 1966 UNTIL MAY OF 1972.  Those families need closure with their loved one recovery even if they cannot be allowed to view the bodies….fingers, eyes, ears, nose and perhaps more missing as creatures on the bottom of the sea feed.   No problem finding them…..use ROV lights and get it to the priority item please.

Steve and Brad:

Until I can get, or you can get those exact measurements, think of 36 inches standard flange outer surface and 21 inch riser to 21 inch shutoff to 21 inch female flange shown on the GE pipe perhaps.

REMEMBER BP used steel pipe riser with four or five independent lines pushed in at each section.  ODD…. No Flotation.   Just was hoping Brad or You could make a drawing showing the same connections as the GE FLOTATION RISER at the flange as welding a female flange to the TOP of the riser would work for illustration replacing the flange.

Ralph

Ruth Rogers @ Cameron:     

First and foremost let me advise you IN NO WAY ARE WE STATING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAMERON BOP 8 STORY UNIT WE ARE ONLY ASKING IF THERE IS ANOTHER TOP FLANGE INDICATED BELOW AVAILABLE ON THE PLANET OR DRAWINGS SHOWING PRECISE MEASUREMENTS THAT WOULD ALLOW IMMEDIATE DUPLICATION IN A MACHINE SHOP PLUS ATTACHMENT OF RISER, SHUTOFF AND FLANGE TO STOP THIS LEAK IMMEDIATELY !   ALL PEOPLE CAN RECEIVE THE INFORMATION BY HITTING “REPLY TO ALL” IN THIS EMERGENCY.

Please relay to the CEO of Cameron that you and Mr. Pascale have an SUPER URGENT request for the Deepwater Horizon BOP top flange measurements and availability ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET of a replacement flange as the one show below is hard to measure at 5,000 feet deep Gulf Of Mexico.  These measurements are needed even for BP to make a TOP HAT 5 SEALING PROPERLY ON THE FLANGE UNTIL A NEW FLANGE CAN BE BROUGHT IN, 21 INCH RISER ATTACHED TO SHUTOFF ATTACHED TO FEMALE FLANGE FOR MATING UP WITH RISER FLANGE AND SHUTOFF.  SUPER URGENT !

Object is to obviously attach a NEW FLANGE with 21 inch RISER but the exact BOLT SIZES, UP BOLT TO NUT AND DOWN BOLT TO NUT PLUS SUPER WASHERS INDICATED MUST BE PROVIDED TO SAVE THE GULF AND STOP THIS NATIONAL DISASTER IMMEDIATELY.

Critical view is the one below PLUS I remember distinctly seeing multiple PIPES and Riser which does not match the GE Flotation Pipe.

PLEASE contact the CEO and see if he will authorize release of the BOP UPPER FLANGE measurements in order to help in stopping this massive 22 Million Barrel Oil Spill in our Gulf which will have an impact all over the Gulf States plus East Coast unless stopped immediately.

Should you have any Drawings or Video showing where on the flange all lines are going externally those would help decide just where to put check valves for Hydraulic Oil replenishment and charging to maybe get the BOP to shut down.

Thank you for your concern for the Gulf spill and ability to relay the message to Cameron CEO Assistant for immediate review.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SAVE FLORIDA AND THE GULF !

HI KIM:

We always send everything to Bay News 9.

Sorry. My last tour was short at Naples NAF and in 1963 we learned a small bit of Italian and some of it came back trying to communicate with this individual in Italy I blew my cover with ONI run to Wheelus AFB Libya as Pilots from the USCG were dealing in contraband and shipping same out on the last bus leaving NAF Naples with some decoy sitting up front with the drivers so no security checking of the Bus.  Why walk to the back when you can not see anyone or anything there.  One Petty Officer USCG pulled me before the Commanding Officer, threatening my life until I told the Commanding Officer to call ONI and all threats were silenced then BUPERS had orders for me to return to America at the Crypto Center in 1 day for all when actually it took me a week to leave.

 Now that we are over 70, it is really fuzzy.   Lived in Rome for about 6 months then came back.  Worked too many years as a Welder and Plumber so stopping this leak is a breeze when you can get the measurements.  Try calling Cameron Corporate 713-513-3300 to get the Deepwater Horizon BOP top flange measurements and ask where they have another flange one can get to stop this leak.   NO RESPONSE ???????

The web site http://www.scribd.com/ralphwhitleysr or http://www.alternativeresponsetechnology.com/Ralph_C._Whitley_Sr_Backflow_Prevention_Inc.html  has many of the messages and without ANY media bringing the replacement of top BOP flange to the surface CAMERON may never tell where one is located NOR reveal the exact measurements needed to stop this leak quickly.  Go see the drawing compared to Branko R. Babic’s inventions on the Counter Pressure Plug then you tell me why no one would USE IT on all three leaks for 49 days.  A machined SLEEVE would SEAL at the flange upper surface in a heartbeat.  BP is not doing what professional Contractors would do and now this is coming to Florida Beaches BIG TIME.

Have your reporters VISIT county or city emergency repair crews and see those GIANT water pipe flanges and shutoffs.  Then you will understand my frustration perhaps and everyone is taking OFF LIMITS to criticize this failure to protect America and Gulf.   Check it out please…..IT MUST BE CHANGED AND LEAK STOPPED.  Then ask questions about how many rigs and areas are using the 8 story item with NO FLOTATION PIPE and think of a small earthquake in the GULF then what would happen if 10 LEAKS Started at once…..MOVE TO MOON QUICK !  Call Branko R. Babic in Oxford England before 4 PM Eastern at 44 1865 310772 via SKYPE as it costs only 2 cents per minute and it is crystal clear.  HE knows BP is stalling and creating this disaster for AMERICA but no one knows why ?

President Obama cannot be that stupid and his advisers need only visit the County or City WORKERS for emergency repair of broken steel pipes with flanges to see what they DO daily !

For my American friends and officials, especially the President.  Another person in Italy

THIS TIME gives you the same picture going snug down over the UPPER FLANGE where

THERE IS AN OPENING between Flanges.   Actually thought the TOP HAT # 4 was going

to utilize the very same connection as the Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug with

FLOW THRU pipe, shutoff on top and flange to top.

When those BP PROFESSIONALS AND EXPERTS tell you their problem is with SEA WATER

AND HYDRATES…..remember the riser should have a shutoff down near the male flange

allowing the waterproof cover or plate to stop water from entering the flange area until

it was necessary to join on top flange of the CPP or even Top Hat 5 then opening the area

where the flow would start after purging water with turning on the Branko R. Babic shutoff

allowing oil, gas and some water to push out sea water from the new riser connection 21

INCHES FULL FLOW then tightening down everything while opening the riser shutoff would

NOT trap hydrates and water IMHO.

TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.  How many days wasted now 49 and the Gulf nearly

RUINED all hopes of tourists coming to Florida RUINED except for those taking pictures

And MEDIA.   AGAIN THE NEW FLANGE WITH PROPER CONNECTORS AND SHUTOFF VALVE
WITH RISER 21 INCHES TO FLANGE FEMALE would work…….. F I N D  T H A T   F L A N G E !

Now back to music.  Film at 11 !

Ralph

Jim:

The information IS getting through to Cameron as I talked today with the Corporate Office in Houston plus Mike Pascale called back and we talked about 30 minutes with main interest on the BOP Measurements ONLY for the top Flange and location of another machined flange so that USCG and President can order it installed immediately.

Noticed tonight that BP is paying attention and has no doubt verified the CUT on right side spewing oil and gas into the Gulf.  Apparently someone is making up a new TOP HAT which will seal over the flange as stated was needed.  LONG body special machined surface will do it but without WEIGHT on same it may be useless.  Weight should be 30,000 PSI weights or like the weights a barbell lifter encounters but it will be necessary to have a riser, shutoff, riser connection.  Containment CAP is taking less than 20 percent right now.

Sorry Jim but I feel the replacement of this flange with shutoff and FULL BORE 21 inch riser protected with Flotation Pipe is needed immediately !   Exterior lines should power up the BOP hydraulic lines with check valve above BOP then maybe it will work.  Asked for BOP manual to see if I could find Plan C, Plan D, Plan E since it obviously is there.

Sadly the 4000 other rigs and well casings could perhaps be a SUPER INTERNATIONAL DISASTER since obviously everyone felt they could simply STAND UP the BOP’s with a bottom flange and do not have “I” beams east and west while they laid the BOP on the bottom NORTH TO SOUTH.  One Earthquake or Tsunami wave and America WILL SIMPLY GO AWAY !    ROV’s must confirm what really is down there and see how many RIGS violated any guidelines like BP did with steel pipe without FLOTATION.

 What is this ….. DAY 47 or so ?  Unbelievable !

Ruth and I are preparing for the Arrival of the Oil and Tar Balls in to my area shortly.  The STENCH will become unbearable with the fish kills and animal kills inside the bay alone.

060710 @ 6:19 PM Eastern

Folks:   Idea is simple….. get a second top flange for the BOP from China or anywhere via SUPERSONIC JET.  Take same to any good welding and machine shop MATCHING the exact holes and uses you see in the Photo, add welding a 21 inch riser, gate valve circular wheel or square steel 4 inch shutoff capability, section of riser then second female flange to match up to the FLOTATION RISER to surface with special shutoff down at BOP connection and before reaching surface.

Keep in mind the four or five EXTERNAL lines for perhaps mud and hydraulic fluid MUST have check valves to prevent loss of any fluids into the BOP through this new flange.

THE FLANGE must match exactly with the bolt and nut applications for this is CRITICAL as extra external piping must be attached as shown in the photo below.   I talked perhaps 30 minutes with Cameron in their Houston OFFICE plus spoke directly with Mike Pascale from Abernathy McGregor and gave them all the http://www.scribd.com/ralphwhitleysr  site to confirm since 042610 we have been screaming about the Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug ideas with sleeve and now the latest change of the BOP Flange if there is another one on the PLANET or specs available from China or anywhere to MAKE ONE IMMEDIATELY.

Mr. Crist Et Al:

IF you were present in Tampa I would ESCORT YOU OR SEND YOU  to the City or County Emergency Crews to see how they change shutoffs and flanges underground or underwater.   Then like your auto wheel, if it goes flat you call AAA, the AAA driver for road service jacks up your vehicle and pulls off the tire unscrewing several bolts then puts on your spare and you drive off.   Same principal with 5,000 feet deep removal of a flange, insertion of a new flange with riser with shutoff and the flow through allows even an ROV to simply insert one bolt and nut then swing the new flange over into position and crane lowers onto female surfaces of the BOP second flange.  

Trouble is no one can get the exact measurements of the BOP from the British Petroleum who are pumping some $400 Million into cleaning up a spill for perhaps Terrorism or to pay back America for Paul Revere’s ride.  TWO LIGHTS as this time they are coming by sea along with our President who is happy to see and report perhaps 30 million school children who will be employed this summer picking up Oil and many DYING.

Meanwhile….who will stand up and say TAKE OVER THE SPILL – CHANGE THE FLANGE AND SHUT DOWN THE SPILL ?

You would perhaps leave your water hose running forever if the shutoff broke and water was running from your home into that hose.   Not me.  I would shut down the water after removing the connection to the wall outlet and putting a special fitting screwed on to the pipe with a shutoff then another adapter to go to male hose bibb so you could attach a new water hose and stopping the leak.         See the real picture how easy this was to do even at 5,000 feet but BP does not want to stop the leak and the President nor Governor have let the U.S. Government specialists like U.S. Navy Divers and SEA BEES who handle these damage control events somewhere daily.

Until someone screams to the Governor’s and our President TELLS HIS DAUGHTER TRUTH that it could be fixed in 8 hours and does it…..Gulf Coast and Florida plus East Coast and islands to the SOUTH will never be the same perhaps for THIRTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE.   You saw the MAYDAY FOURTEEN Message.  Some 4,000 DEEP WATER HORIZON DANGEROUS RIGS ARE IN THE GULF !   Let them cap one well…..how many years in salt water before those casings RUST THROUGH and EXPLODE CONTENTS TO THE SURFACE ?   Check with the University Professors and County or City professionals.   Where are you moving ….. TO THE MOON ?

And how many think I am insane ?   Look at how simple it is to take your coke and put that top back on the plastic bottle Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey.   Now tie your shoes…. I can stop the leak if given the exact measurements for the flange and getting a short riser with shutoff valve to another riser female for surface riser….but INSIST on Flotation Riser which would stand straight up and in the future insist on all BOP’s lying down on the sea bed not standing UP for a wave or Earthquake to break the contact with the riser as they are UNSUPPORTED.  Demand the TEE with shutoffs and BOP lying down with BOP top flange with a 90 degree ell pointing to surface with a shutoff then should anything happen remember any ROV can shut down the circular wheel gate valves 36 inch just like your County and City workers do EVER SINGLE DAY.  You are not 80 nor 70 years old. Ruth is 80 and I am 70, will leave a light on for you !

CALL THE PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR --- SHARE MAYDAY FOURTEEN WHILE YOU STILL CAN LIVE IN FLORIDA !  This TERRORISM IS REAL !  It can be solved in 8 HOURS with those measurements and a machine shop making up the replacement flange for the TOP of the BOP but no one can call the Manufacturer or did China KEEP IT A SECRET with their 8 story BOP ?   NATIONAL DISASTER CAN BE INTERNATIONAL DISASTER AND WHERE WILL YOU MOVE TO AVOID OIL, GAS, TAR BALLS, RAINING OIL……Where?  Even my local specialists at the meter shop Mike Burgess and Mike Butkus plus Harry Smith of the City Water Department could confirm those flange connections can be changed and this LEAK KILLED way back in 042610 when we starts screaming it could be done.  Cost $8.000.00 and no one will ask a DAMAGE CONTROL CHIEF or MACHINIST AND PIPEFITTER let alone Hillsborough County Meter Shop employees, Emergency Crews City or County.    WHY ?  WHY LET THIS LEAK GO ?

SO WE CAN EMPLOY CHILDREN, BOAT OWNERS, SEAMEN, TRANSIENT WORKERS AND ILLEGALS WITH A PAYCHECK GUARANTEED TO LAST THEM THREE YEARS ?  SPEND MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS when the $8.000.00 REPLACEMENT OF THE BOP FLANGE would and could stop this in 8 HOURS.

WAKE UP AMERICA !   You may loose every fish and shellfish in the GULF, EAST COAST and ISLANDS SOUTH FOR TEN OR TWELVE YEARS.   TRILLIONS LOST and BP is only able to pay perhaps $750 MILLION then they will leave letting America and perhaps the OTHER NATIONS GO UNDER.   MAKE THE CALL, SEND THE FAX, SEND THE E-MAIL AND GET THIS LEAK STOPPED THEN INSPECT 4,000 RIGS who can ruin PLANET EARTH all because inspectors liked to party and no ROV was made available to confirm what REALLY was connecting the OLDER RIGS to the bottom sea floor in the GULF.

Ixtoc 2, Ixtoc 3, Ixtoc 4, Ixtoc 5…..or should we name them after Deepwater Horizon starting with the next spill being Deepwater Horizon 2, Deepwater Horizon 3 through Deepwater Horizon 4,000.

Get those BRANKO R. BABIC FRICTION PLUGS READY TO SEAL UNDERSEA CASINGS AND LOAD TWO TO FOUR BARGES FULL BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED BOTTLES OF OXYGEN FOR THE CRANE OPERATOR, BOAT EMPLOYEES AND ROV CONTROLLERS…..MAYBE HOSPITALS WILL HAVE TO STOCK UP ON THOSE OXYGEN BOTTLES FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS WHEN THE WIND PUSHES THE METHANE GAS OR OTHER GAS TOWARD THAT SHORE WHERE ALL MOTORS, GENERATORS, NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WILL RUN AWAY AND EXPLODE…….. CANNOT HAPPEN ?  SEAL THE BOP BY A NEW FLANGE !

IT IS HAPPENING NOW FOLKS you just cannot see that forest……right there behind the trees !      The event is NOT in England or Ireland because they put in ACOUSTIC SHUTOFFS by law.  Our Inspectors would rather PARTY perhaps but I can tell you inspections must really be ramped up to see how many of those 4,000 rigs are a danger to themselves and ALL RIG WORKERS WHO WILL DIE FROM THE GAS AND MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS !   Just like the 11 but no one has OBA or Oxygen BOTTLES at the ready !    CHECK IT OUT FAST !

Ralph

NEWS MEDIA HERE IS A SCARY NEWS RELEASE AS THE NON EXISTENT AND IMPOSSIBLE OIL MASS TRAVELS TO TAMPA!

BE EXTREMELY SURE YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE AND UNDERSTAND IT ONLY TAKES 8 HOURS TO STOP THIS SPILL !

BP AND OTHERS WERE GIVEN THE MEANS TO STOP THE SPILL AT THREE SPOTS UNDER THE GULF LONG AGO.

NOW THAT THE PHOTO IS OUT THERE….WITHOUT CUT HORIZONTAL AT FLANGE NEAR BOLTS…. LOOK AT HOW EASY

IT WOULD BE TO STOP THIS LEAK WITH ANOTHER SPECIAL FLANGE MADE EVEN IN A MACHINE SHOP USING THE

CAMERION SPECS AND HOOKING UP A SECTION OF THE SAME PIPE WITH SHUTOFF AND ANOTHER FLANGE GOING

TO THE SURFACE.   CUT LOOSE THE STUPID TOP HAT 4 AND LOWER THE NEW FLANGE IN PLACE WHEN  ROV SAWS WITH

DIAMOND CUT CAPABILITY SAW THE BOLTS AND NUTS AWAY PLUS REMEMBER CHECK VALVES ARE NEEDED ON HYDRAULIC

LINE CONNECTIONS WHICH MUST HAVE THOSE OTHER SMALLER LINES PROTECTED BY FLOTATION RISER PIPE GE STYLE.

YOU ARE 8 HOURS AWAY FROM STOPPING THE ENTIRE LEAK AND ANOTHER THIRTY WEEKS SUCKING UP THE GLOBS

OF OIL FROM UP TO 1000 FEET USING SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS LIKE IN THOSE CUTE 1,000 FEET DEEP WELLS PUSHING

OIL TO SURFACE BARGES AND SKIMMERS WITH SPECIAL DUSTPAN LOOKS AND VACTOR TRUCKS PULLING OIL OFF THE

SURFACE USING FANS AND ROLLERS TO PUSH OFF THE WATER AND ROLLERS TO PUSH THE OIL INTO BARGE AREAS TO

BE PUMPED INTO SHALLOW WATER BARGES OR DEEP WATER BARGES TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY.

ALL BECAUSE BP DESIRED TO PROLONG THIS DAMAGE AND NOT BUY ANOTHER FLANGE TO STOP THE LEAKS !

REMEMBER ANOTHER THING KNOWN TO SOME STUPID PROFESSIONALS LIKE ME ---- ALL DIRT OR SAND CAN BE SENT

OVER A CONVEYOR BELT OVER A FIRE LIKE YOU DO FOR OIL CONTAMINATED SOIL IN A SPILL ON SHORE.  THAT SAND

IS PRECIOUS AND CAN ALL BE RECOVERED…..CHECK WITH EPA PEOPLE WHO HAVE YOU PLACE THE SAND AND OIL IN

SPECIAL 55 GALLON BARRELS TO BE PICKED UP AND THEY RECOVER ALL SAND OR DIRT !

Remember this picture folks from Times-Picayune --- 8 HOURS TOPS to replace the flange and riser with shutoff and riser…

Since 042610 BP and President plus Governors were advised how the Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug or another

Method could shut down all three leaks drawing the oil to the surface including the JET SWET model with rubber annular

Sealing against the pipe then with a flow thru pipe 18 inches drawing the oil and gas to the surface.

Once USCG and others listed to my idea to bring in Oceaneering they started ATTEMPTING to cut stressed pipe from the

BOTTOM with a hydraulic SHEAR binding up everything and even trying a diamond cut wheel which was used just on

RIGHT SIDE OF THE FLANGE near bolts and piping perhaps 2 inches OVER BOLTS AND THAT CUT IS WHAT YOU SEE COMING

OUT RIGHT NOW UNDER TOP HAT # 4 BUT BP WOULD LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE THEY ARE RECOVERING 40 PERCENT OF THE

OIL AND GAS WHEN IN REALITY THEY ARE LOOSING OVER 60 PERCENT OF THE NEW FULL FLOW TO THE GULF AND IT IS

COMING TO TAMPA AND DOWN THE FLORIDA COAST JUST LIKE THE PANHANDLE !      

MR. PRESIDENT, USCG AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS --- HOW MUCH LONGER WILL YOU BELIEVE BP ?   ASK FOR THE

TAPES SHOWING THE RIG CUTTING THAT HORIZONTAL CUT NEAR THE FLANGE, SEE WHAT THE TOP HAT 4 WAS DESIGNED

TO DO AND TELL ME HOW YOU CAN CAPTURE FULL FLOW 21 INCH RISER OIL AND GAS INTO A 6 INCH PIPE TO THE

SURFACE … AS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW !   YOU MUST AUTHORIZE THE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

OF THE BOP TOP FLANGE WITH NEW FLANGE AND SHUTOFF PLUS FEMALE FLANGE …. THE TOP FLANGE MUST HAVE A MALE

RISER JUST LIKE BEFORE BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE MAKE THEM GET A CHECK VALVE ON THE HYDRAULIC LINE CONNECTION TO

THE TOP OF THE BOP AND ALSO USE THE GE FLOTATION RISER PIPE WHICH WILL SUPPORT ITSELF IN THE WATER EVEN FULL

OF OIL AND GAS .    THEN CHECK THOSE OTHER 3,999 RIGS TO SEE IF THEY TOO HAVE 8 STORY TOPLE OVER DANGERS !!!!!

BBC and others:

Branko R. Babic, a younger Professional living in Oxford UK, invented a Counter Pressure Plug, Counter Pressure Plug with pipe and shutoff, Friction Plug back in 1991 for the Kuwait Oil Disaster FIRES.  Florida and the Gulf Coast have JACK THE RIPPER CONDUCTING THE INVESTIGATIONS AND APPROVING SOLUTIONS WITH THE BOBBIES AND SCOTLAND YARD AT HIS BECK AND CALL BELIEVING EVERYTHING HE SAYS BECAUSE THIS ALLOWS 20 MILLION AMERICANS TO WORK AND PAYS WAGES TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

On 042010 the BP Leased Deepwater Horizon rig, with known BOP problems and failed cement seals, caused a severe Explosion destroying the ability to stay on position using thrusters with blown engines plus ignited fuel and gas onboard dooming 11 men immediately on the work floor and threatening 125 other men and a single woman on the rig who were forced to jump into the water, scurry for life boats and once the rig drifted OFF course pulling on the all Steel RISER 21 INCH with four or five lines without check valves for hydraulic to the damaged BOP the rig broached over and compartments filled with water starting a spinning action into the deep.   As a result three broken or bent areas of this steel multi pipe riser WITHOUT FLOTATION sunk to the depts. Along with the RIG and 11 souls.

Keep in mind the normal and customary SAFETY MEASURES SUCH AS WATER FAN SPRINKLERS TO MAKE THE RIG LOOK LIKE NIAGRA FALLS WITH SEAWATER PUMPING WERE NOT ON THE RIG except perhaps a small foam unit on the Helicopter PAD.  The clothing WORN by those 11 men, rather than having super visibility patches were limited to shoulder patches so the Crane Operator perhaps could see the person from his seat high above the floor.  Otherwise even Acoustic Emergency SHUTDOWN of the BOP was not onboard.   For a really scary scene picture an 8 story tall super steel item standing on a 36 inch casing on the bottom with all mass going topside.  Picture also the 5,000 feet of steel multiple riser pipes broken at the rig and falling to the ocean bottom crashing and bending over the solid steel 21 inch riser with .812 inches thickness at the BOP flange top maybe 30 inches from the flange causing a crimp but also leaking gas, oil, water and dreams into the Gulf.

BP OIL and the CEO Tony Hayward KNEW of the faulty BOP annular rubber and failure to shut off the unit in an emergency BUT kept pressing forward to shoot watered down (seawater) mud into the casing then try to have Halliburton send CEMENT PLUGS possibly mixed with SEA WATER into the casing which COULD NEVER WORK as the casing water would have to be FRESH WATER FOLKS.  No cement sets up in SALT WATER MIX.

Immediately after the explosion and sinking the ROV operators were constantly filming from a distance the LEAK fartherest from the BOP and one leak was shown in drawings half way down the pipe on the sea bed and a crimped pipe was drawn BUT NO VIDEO for weeks.  It has now been 47 days today and STILL THE LEAK COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED RECOVERING THE OIL AND GAS WITHIN 8 DAYS.   I watched futile attempts to use a Hydraulic Shear cutting from the BOTTOM causing same to JAM.  Watched repeated ROV attempts to cut pipe stressed for hours only to see those jam when ALL CUTS MUST BE MADE FROM THE TOP REGARDLESS OF SIZE AND HYDRAULIC OR ROTARY.  Messages were sent SCREAMING for the ROV operator to check with experts on these cuts. TO NO AVAIL.

Conversations via SKYPE with Branko Richard Babic in Oxford resulted in me being fully authorized EARLY ON to give away his invention to BP and American Officials to stop the leak in it’s tracks. NO ONE WOULD USE IT !   Even today you can see the IDIOTIC TOP HAT #4 WITH OIL SPEWING OUT……actually no one thought or realizes the SUPER LOSS OF OIL SPEWING OUT INTO THE GULF was from the CUT made by a diamond saw only perhaps 2 inches above the FLANGE for over 24 inches and NO ONE FILLED THE VOID WITH STEEL BENT AND HAMMERED IN PLACE so the leak is a monster !

Branko R. Babic’s INVENTION of the Counter Pressure Plug is UNDENIABLY THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE LEAK EVEN AT THE FLANGE WITH A RISER GOING DOWN OVER THE FLANGE AREA WITH THAT 2 OR 3 INCHES OF CLEAN TIGHT SURFACE BEGGING TO BE MATCHED WITH A THICK MACHINED FLANGE WHICH ALSO WOULD GO OVER THE FIRST FLANGE TIGHTLY AND ALLOW WITH MORE MACHINING CONTACT WITH THE AREA AROUND THE SECOND FLANGE WITH SUPER STRONG BOLTS SCREWED INTO THE SECOND FLANGE HOLDING EVERYTHING.   

All because BP would NOT GIVE OUT THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS TO ALLOW Brad Wehde to make an illustration SIMILAR to his solution which would have only SEALED THE WELL BOP OUTPUT.

Branko R. Babic and I asked repeatedly for the President, USCG and Governors to get the measurements as BP refused to get another flange, hook up another riser Flotation unit, re-power the BOP with hydraulic fluid with a check valve keeping all oil inside the BOP which might now work PLUS ability to hook up 21 inch full bore riser GE FLOTATION to the surface which was never used the first time or the RIG could have CUT AWAY and drifted away from danger saving perhaps 11 LIVES.

In that we have now called for, via written documentation, a full Terrorism Investigation and Felony Murder Investigation these files are no longer CONFIDENTIAL and available to anyone as this NATIONAL DISASTER MIGHT BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL DISASTER QUICKLY IF ANY SIMILAR RIG PIPING OR BOP’S GO BAD.

I have called for the USCG and President to INSURE NO BOP IS LEFT STANDING ON A CASING FLANGE IN THE FUTURE.  ALL CASINGS SHOULD MATCH UP WITH A SHUTOFF VALVE THEN A TEE WITH FLOW NORTH TO SOUTH INTO CASING AND THE SIDE OUTLET TO BE WITH A SHUTOFF THEN THE BOP ATTACHED LYING ON THE SEA FLOOR AND OUT OF THE BOP WOULD BE A 90 DEGREE ELLS FLANGED TO A SHUTOFF THEN RISERS PROPERLY FLOTATION EQUIPPED TO THE SURFACE AREAS.    Removal of the BOP would be simple, quick and safe, replacement simple, quick and safe plus the ACOUSTIC SHUTOFF should be mandatory.  Professionally speaking I am super afraid the ENTIRE WORLD IS IN DANGER IF THESE RIGS AND BOP’s EVER EXPERIENCE AN EARTHQUAKE CAUSING THE UNITS TO FALL OVER RIPPING OUT THE CASINGS AND SPEWING OIL AND GAS INTO THE WATER UNCONTROLLABLY.  UNLESS YOU HAVE 200 BRANKO R. BABIC FRICTION PLUGS TO LOWER OVER EACH SPILL AREA INSTANTLY BECAUSE NO ONE CAN USE A BOAT TO GO INTO THE AREA OF SUCH DISASTER AS THE GAS WOULD KILL EVERYONE ONBOARD UNLESS A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE COULD LOWER THE COUNTER PRESSURE PLUGS WHICH MUST PLUG AN UNKNOWN CIRCUMFERANCE LIKE PERHAPS 7 INCHES AT BREAK OUT TO 36 INCHES RISER AND ANYTHING SENT DOWN TOO LARGE WOULD JAM AND ANYTHING TOO SMALL WOULD HAVE TO GO FIT ON THE SIDES NEAR THE PUNCHOUT SECTION.   Scary for even you in England.

I have repeatedly indicated to BP and others that the LOCAL STATE, COUNTY, CITY UTILITIES HAVE WORKERS WHO SOLVE THESE LEAK PROBLEMS UNDERGROUND, UNDERWATER AND ABOVE GROUND ALL OVER THIS NATION ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS.  Like my State Certification for Plumbing in Florida plus specialized training and experience as a Welder and Backflow Prevention Assembly SPECIALIST I can tell you that even the OIL down 1000 feet in blobs can be sucked to the surface PLUS the blobs near the beaches can be collected with sump pumps and skimmers with VACTOR TRUCKS helping control the damage local which IS COMING TO THE TAMPA BAY AREA, KEYS AND EAST COAST PLUS ISLANDS !

Please get in direct contact with Branko R. Babic who is fully up to date and knows of my filing FEDERAL INVESTIGATION REQUEST FOR MURDER AND TERRORISM plus asking for the President to STEP IN AND TAKE OVER THIS SEALING OF THE WELL IN THE GULF IMMEDIATELY AS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY MEASURE.

The picture WE had in mind came from Times-Picayune on 060310 perhaps.

WE SEND OUT A MAYDAY MESSAGE THIRTEEN TO GET THIS LEAK SEALED IN 8 HOURS AND NO ONE

REALLY UNDERSTANDS OUR CONCERN…..LOOK HOW MANY RIGS CAN BE LEAKING AND HOW

WILL YOU COPE WITH THIS INTERNATIONAL DISASTER MR. PRESIDENT.  SEE BELOW PICTURE!

Let us see  3,359 plus 499 MINUS 1 with the spill = How many to make an INTERNATIONAL EMEGENCY

DISASTER and Mr. President CAN YOU DEMAND THE TRUTH ?            3,858 CLOSE MINUS 1 ?

IS IT TRUE THE WELL PRODUCTION IS GOING OVERSEAS ?  IS IT TRUE BP OR TRANS OCEAN HAS A

$560 MILLION DOLLAR POLICY ON THE RIG WHICH SUNK AND FURTHE IS IT TRUE BP WAS PAID SOME

$350 MILLION BY THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY AND NO ONE KNOWS IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, ACT OF

GOD OR CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE LET ALONE TERRORISM BECAUSE YOU CANNOT STOP THE LEAK FOR

48 DAYS WHEN WE GAVE YOU THE BRANKO R. BABIC CPP WITH PIPE AND ‘CHANGE THE FLANGE AND

RISER ADD SHUTOFF AND FLANGE THEN GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE !”        Let us see which is easier ---

Replace the RISER or spend another #350 MILLION all across the GULF, UP THE EAST SIDE AND ISLANDS,

AROUND THE BOTTOM SIDE OF FLORIDA AND UP THE EAST COAST TO MAIN ?

America cannot afford those claims and losses but BP seems to be digging themselves a super cavity in

ENGLAND because they are killing the Gulf, Florida, East Coast, Islands and we will not recover our Gulf

LET ALONE THE FISH, FOWL, SEA CREATURES, REEFS, SHELL FISH AND OYSTER BEDS FOR 30 YEARS !

OR WE FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF AN OLD PLUMBER IN TAMPA, GET ANOTHER FLANGE, MODIFY SAME TO

ACCEPT THE RISER WITH SHUTOFF, PLACE RISER ABOVE BEING FLOTATION RISERS WITH SHUTOFF

ON FIRST SECTION AND TOP SECTION. STOP ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY AND PRAY GOD HAS FISH THAT EAT OIL !

I HAVE ONLY FIVE (5) QUESTIONS FOR THE FBI TO USE THE STOELTING ULTRASCRIBE 8 CHANNEL LAPTOP

POLYGRAPH WITH ALL INVOLVED THEN FIND A SAFE MILITARY BASE TO SEE WHO ELSE WAS INVOLVED IN

THIS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE AND POSSIBLE TERRORISM ATTACK FOR REASONS UNKNOWN UPON THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA, GULF COAST AND FLORIDA PLUS ISLANDS TO THE SOUTH SINCE 042010 THAT BP NOR ANY

‘EXPERT’ HAS BEEN ABLE TO STOP WHEN ANY COUNTY, CITY OR STATE WATER UTILITY WORKER, SEWER LINE

WORKER, GAS LINE WORKER AND ESPECIALLY US OLD CONTRACTORS STATE CERTIFIED IN ANY STATE COULD

HAVE SOLVED TO STOP THE LEAK IN 8 HOURS WITH SOMEONE FURNISHING THE MEASUREMENTS FOR THAT

SIMPLE PIPE RISER AND FLANGE ON TOP OF THE BOP !  PLUS ANY BASE MILITARY WHO DO THESE THINGS !

CHOICE…..GIVE THE MEASUREMENTS….SPEND $8,000.00 TAKE IT TO THE CRANE RIG ON THE WATER, CUT LOOSE

THE EXISTING FLANGE AND RISER THEN REPLACE THE FLANGE WITH THE NEW ONE HAVING FLOW THRU PIPE,

SHUTOFF, FLANGE AND IN PERHAPS 8 HOURS ANYONE COULD HAVE HAD THIS SPILL STOPPED SINCE 042610 !

NOW THAT IS SAD PLUS YOU HAVE 11 BODIES WAITING TO BE RECOVERED AND NO ONE HAS ORDERED ANY

ROV WITH LIGHTS TO SEARCH 5 MILES IN EACH DIRECTION TO FIND THOSE BODIES HAVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT !

SOME 16 ROV’S ARE VIEWABLE ON THE VARIOUS UNITS WORKING THE SITE BUT NONE LOOKING FOR BODIES EH ?

SEE TOP PHOTO OF DUAL BOP FLANGES.

Perfectly ROUND EQUALLY JOINED DUAL FLANGES….Will try to get the exact measurements

but at least now you and Brad can see what we mean.

KEEP IN MIND AFTER THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN THERE IS A BLOWOUT CUT JUST ABOVE

THE RIGHT SIDE BOLTS AND NOTICE THE UP BOLD DOWN BOLT HEADS MUST MATCH UP

BECAUSE OF THE HYDRAULIC PIPE AND MORE INVOLVED WITH THE RISER NOT BEING

FLOTATION TYPE.

The pipes above are color coated FLOTATION PIPES not the ones observed on the Riser cut above the BOP dual flanges.

Believe THIS BOP possibly from China costing nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS is tied to that 36 inch Deepwater Horizon RISER.  BOP DOUBLE FLANGE ON TOP SECTION BARELY VISIBLE TO ALL

GOD HELP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, GULF COAST, FLORIDA AND EAST COAST ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE IS SO VERY NIAVE OR STUPID THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SHUT DOWN THIS LEAK SINCE 042610 WHEN THE CLUES WERE PROVIDED.

JUST AS SAD IS THE MEDIA NEVER ASK THE QUESTIONS OF THE LEADERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OR PRESIDENT WHEN ALL WAS GIVEN ON A SILVER PLATTER TO EACH MEDIA LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY PLUS INTERNATIONALLY.

My President FELL FOR THIS SONG AND DANCE ROUTINE from BP CEO Tony Hayward HOOK, LINE AND SINKER !  I AM SO VERY SORRY…..HERE TAKE 350 MILLION DOLLARS AND BP WILL PAY EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING THAT I PROMISE.    

What my President and USCG forget is that if YOU HAVE A LEAK ON A FLANGED RISER TWO INCHES ABOVE THE NUTS AND BOLT HEADS SOME 20 OR MORE INCHES LONG VISIBLE WITH SUPER RELEASE OF OIL, GAS AND WATER,  EVEN AT 5,000 FEET BELOW THE SURFACE….You CUT THE BOLTS, PULL OFF THE FLANGE, MAKE ANOTHER WITH SPECIFCATIONS SUPER CRITICAL TO YOU OR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY BP OR BUY ANOTHER OR GET ONE FROM CAMERON OR CHINA BY SUPERSONIC JET….BRING IT TO A MACHINES SHOP, MAKE A RISER CONNECTION, PUT IN A SHUTOFF, PUT IN A FLANGE FOR RISER TO SURFACE SHIP THEN SEND THAT PUPPY DOWN BY CRANE AND HAVE THE RIG BE SET PERFECTLY AND PUT IN ONE BOLT, PUSH IT WITH ROV OVER THE DAMNED HOLES AND MATCH EVERYTHING UP PERFECTLY UP AND DOWN BOLTS, PULL ONE BOLT DOWN WITH THAT MALE FLANGE GOING INTO THE FEMALE FLANGE POSITION ON THE BOP TOP FIRST FLANGE.    HOW MUCH TIME ?   8 HOURS TWO ROV’S.

Once it seats down properly then tighten ALL bolts and nuts. I even sent pictures of a OPEN END BOX WRENCH WHERE THEY COULD ATTACH NUTS AND TIE OFF WITH WIRE LIKE YOU USE ON BREAD SO IT CAN BE DESTROYED BUT HOLD THE LARGE NUTS EASILY…EVEN FISHING LINE WOULD WORK THEN BREAK AWAY AND THE ROV WOULD HAVE A SOCKET ATTACHMENT HOLDING A BOLT……IF 8 BOLTS YOU WOULD HAVE A BUCKET OF STEEL PERHAPS WITH 10 BOLTS AND 10 NUTS READY FOR INSTALLATION.   ONCE SHUT DOWN WITH THE ROV THEN YOU COULD EVEN HAVE ONE ROV USE A CHEATER BAR TO REALLY PUT SOME TENSION ON THOSE SUPER BOTLS AND NUTS MAKING A PERFECT SEAL.  

ONCE SEALED YOU SIMPLY CLOSE THE SHUTOFF VALVE….POSSIBLY A GATE VALVE RATED AT 15,000 PSI WITH ROTARY WHEEL OR LIKE UNDERGROUND PIPE VALVES WITH A THREE INCH SQUARE SHUTOFF THAT THE ROV CAN ATTACH EVEN WHAT WE USE OR COUNTIES OR CITIES USE TO SHUT DOWN THOSE WATER VALVES…..TIE IT OFF FOR FALLING 8 STORIES MAY BURY ONE IN THE SEA BED….HAVE A SECOND ONE READY…   ONCE YOU HOOK UP THE FLANGE OUTGOING TO THE RISER FLOTATION PIPE…..YOU ARE ALMOST HOME…. TURN ON THE RISER CONNECTION AFTER YOU REMOVE THE WATER PROOF AREA WITH 2 INCHES ONLY SINCE THE RISER WOULD BE SEALED ON THE WAY DOWN AND POSSIBLY FLEXIBLE RISER FOR TRANSFER OF OIL AND GAS.

Now for the real difficult request…… PAINT THE NEW FLANGE AND SHUTOFF PLUS RISER RED, WHITE AND BLUE !

That would allow BP to back off, USCG to find the dead 11 men on the bottom, retrieve all of the rig and piping on the sea bed.

After the HURRICANE SEASON is over then USCG and USN can plan on sending down special CONCRETE MIX WITH FRESH WATER FORCED DOWN THE CASING VIA KILL VALVE AND CHOKE VALVE UNTIL IT SETS UP.  THEN THEY CAN WAIT CHECKING TWICE AND THIRD TIME THEN REMOVE THE BOP FROM THE STUPID ARRANGEMENT OF CONNECTING AN 8 STORY STEEL ITEM ON THE SEA FLOOR BY FLANGE TO THE CASING WITH IT STANDING UP TO FALL OVER CREATING A NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL DISASTER.

ONCE THE CEMENT IS SECURE….CRANES CAN HOLD THE BOP READY TO BRING UP SAME, BOLTS AND NUTS CAN BE SHEARED OR PERHAPS UNSCREWED WITH CHEATER THEN ENTIRE BOP CAN BE BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE WHILE CRANE TWO BRINGS DOWN TO THE SEA BOTTOM OFF TO THE SIDE WAITING A NEAT TOY……..

36 INCH FLANGE ATTACHED TO 36 INCH GATE VALVE ON A 36 INCH TEE PROPERLY PAINTED TO STOP CORROSION, ALL SECTIONS OF THE TEE MUST HAVE GATE VALVE SHUTOFFS ALSO BY FLANGE. ONCE INSTALLED ON THE SEABED CASING THE MAIN UP ROUTE WILL BE SEALED BY A SHUTOFF AND PERHAPS HAVE A THICK PLATE ALLOWING FEEDING OF CEMENT AND MUD DIRECT INTO THE TEE AND WITH THE CASING SHUTOFF OPENED THEN THE OUTGOING HORIZONTAL SHUTOFF SEALED THE SURFACE SHIPS CAN PUMP MUD OR CEMENT DOWN INTO THE ENTIRE WELL CASING IF NECESSARY. TO ACTIVATE THE CASING SIMPLY REMOVE THE SPECIAL FLANGE WITH SHUTOFF AND FLANGE WITH TWO SPECIAL SHUTOFFS WITH FLANGE ACCESS THEN ONCE UNCOVERED ONE CAN TAKE A DRILL AND PUNCH THE CEMENT IF THAT WAS USED TO STOP THE FLOW AND ONCE THAT IS PUNCHED AND FLOWING ONTO THE SEA BED, SIMPLY CLOSE THE CASING SHUTOFF, CLOSE THE FLOW THRU SHUTOFF AND PUT BACK THE PLATE WITH TWO SHUTOFFS AND FLANGES BACK AND OPEN UP THE BOP FLANGE ON THE HORIZONTAL SECTION TO THE ONE ON TOP OF THE BOP THEN OPEN ACCESS TO THE SURFACE SHIP AND YOUR NEW BOP IS THERE READY TO WORK !

ON THE HORIZONTAL FLANGE TO THE TEE WOULD BE A SHUTOFF PLUS ATTACHED TO THE SHUTOFF FLANGE WOULD BE THE 36 INCH BOTTOM FLANGE OF THE BOP WHICH WOULD BE LYING ON THE SEA BED, PERHAPS IN A STEEL SUPPORTED GROUP OF SPECIAL WELDED CHANNEL LIKE YOU USE  “I” BEAMS LYING ON THE OCEAN BED TO SUPPORT THAT 8 STORY TOY BOP AND THE TOP OF THE BOP OR OUTLET WOULD HAVE A FLANGED 90 DEGREE ELL WITH PAINTING TO REDUCE CORROSION THEN ANOTHER FLANGED SHUTOFF WITH WHEEL SHUTOFF THEN A FLANGE ATTACHED TO THE SHIP ABOVE WITH A SHUTOFF PROTECTED AS BEFORE AND ONE SHUTOFF UP USING SUPER FLOTATION RISER PIPE.

Now what could happen in the future is if the BOP went out, you shut down the casing flow with the horizontal shutoff, use the thru flow of the tee with shutoff to force mud and even if needed under pressure to push back the oil and gas.  Then you could change the BOP and re-install all items as before.  NEVER RELEASING MORE THAN A FEW GALLONS INSIDE THE BOP when unhooking both sections as you can also add a SHUTOFF on the BOP connection flange and on the outlet of the BOP and then check everything once brought to the surface and given back to the manufacturer.

I find it entirely possible that the U.S. MMS or OIL INDUSTRY PEOPLE knew or know that some if not all of the 200 or more RIGS with BOP’s have a potential INTERNATIONAL DISASTER OF UNBELIEVABLE PROPORTIONS WHICH CANNOT AND MUST NOT BE IGNORED.   ROV ships must go out and inspect each RIG and BOP section plus NEW LAWS MUST INCLUDE THE NEW PROTECTIVE USE OF A BOP ON THE SEA BED RATHER THAN STANDING UP TO FALL OVER IN ANY EARTHQUAKE OR TSUNAMI. Those CUTE pictures of RISER PIPE with FLOTATION COLLARS AND MULTIPLE LINES FOR MUD, HYDRAULIC AND FLOW WITH OIL AND GAS are not what Deepwater Horizon was using for reasons unknown.  Also those units are UPRIGHT when none should be anywhere except on their back on I BEAMS OF SOLID STEEL SUPPORTING THEM.

REALLY SCARY are the hydraulic lines are not with special CHECK VALVES keeping the rigs with hydraulic fluid or OPTIONAL CONNECTION POINTS IN ANY EMERGENCY plus where is the BOP MANUAL with those 5 ways to shut the BOP DOWN in an emergency.   Which way does the ROV turn the steel item to make it shut down……right or left ?  I saw them turn LEFTY LOOSEY and nearly panicked as the front panel seemed to show RIGHTY TIGHTY TO SECURE OR CLOSE.   That scared me PLUS all of those critical lines should be outside the main flange initially so that you are sure hydraulic oil will be inside the BOP at all times.    I am also scared a SWORDFISH could create problems punching holes in anything…….PLUS one item really needs review immediately…   ALL BATTERIES AND SYSTEMS SHOULD BE UP ON THE RIG….using Solar Battery Chargers and having perhaps several REPLACEMENT BATTERIES like my favorite CATERPILLAR BATTERY that can be switched at least annually while required to shut anything on the  down in an emergency.    ACOUSTIC SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY ROV MOTHER VESSEL SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHUT DOWN THE  BOP IN AN EMERGENCY.  When I heard that one of two modules had failed down below on the BOP I could not believe anything that important was not controlled by the surface RIG or support vessel with ROV.  

WHERE WERE THE ROV INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT ON THIS LEVER TO SHUT OFF THE BOP……AS OF ANYONE THE ROV OPERATOR SHOULD BE THE ONE DOING IT IN AN EMERGENCY !

Watching the EXPLOSION plus results my attention and professional supervisory experience kicked in and questions remained as to WHERE IS THE FULL REFLECTIVE PATCHES ON THE CLOTHING ?

WHERE ARE THE INFLATABLE LIFE RAFTS IN FANNY PACKS AND THE S.P.O.T. SAT EMERGENCY NOTIFIERS FOR EACH CREW MEMBER ON THE WORK AREA, HANDED OFF TO THE NEXT REPLACEMENT OVER AND OVER PLUS CHECKED OR TESTED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH WITH BATTERY REPLACEMENT SO MANY MONTHS VERIFIED AND CHECKED THEN DOUBLE CHECKED? 

FINALLY……I watched in horror as the fire engulfed the vessel which was on station with DP Mode drifting no doubt with the engines destroyed as Air Brought In Gas and engines ran away and seized up. To think a 5,000 foot pipe without FLOTATION  pulling or tugging on the rig when people were leaving compartments open abandoning the rig to lifeboats or jumping into the water without much protection or ability to dive and move away with goggles or diving masks……even one woman jumped…. NO SEA WATER CIRCULAR OR FAN SPRINKLERS WERE ACTIVATED AT ANY TIME….NOT EVEN ON THE HELICOPTER DECK WHICH HAD SPECIAL SPRINKLERS AND POSSIBLY EVEN FOAM TO FIGHT A FIRE ON THAT PAD WITH GAS AND OIL.    NAVY SHIPS HAVE A WATER WASHDOWN SYSTEM USING SPECIAL FIRE PUMPS……I mentioned using 1,000 feet piping with underwater filtered sea water or irrigation water pumped to the surface and stored in pressurized tanks……all geared to stop this destruction by fire.

Major problem was the runaway RIG without DP Mode corrective Thrusters moving at wave speed pulling taught on the RISER then suddenly it broached on it’s side with compartments filling up with sea water due to open hatches and then the SPINNING started breaking away the riser and down went the riser shattering in several areas and really bending the BOP top section which saved a major disaster stopping perhaps 80 percent of the escaping oil and gas on the 20 TH day of April, 2010 until the BP and ROV crews started cutting away the pipe which was recommended just after contact with them on the 26 th day of April, 2010 and further when contacting Branko R. Babic who could have stopped the flow in two known points when we recommended OCEANEERING CHOP SAW go into the area able to cut 26 inch steel pipe in minutes.   BP never responded and someone at Horizon or LABEOC had cute responding messages indicating THEIR EXPERTS HAD REVIEWED ALL SUGGESTIONS AND DUE TO THE DEPTH AND OTHER ITEMS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSIDER……they put a straw 6 inch inside one leak with little rubber sections NOT SEALING ALL OF THE INTERIOR OF THE PIPE and drew off a little gas and oil while everything went crazy at two other points.

Next OBJECTION ACT was BP never properly indicated they were not using FLOTATION GE RISER pipe and that the pipe used was 21 inch center with 4 or 5 side lines tied to same but none had check valves or shutoffs from top of BOP to ship.  Glad the City or County MANDATES shutoffs so many feet in streets or you would never be able to shut down anything sewer, water or especially forced mains let alone air flows.      Once we were finally seeing the RISER pipe we started asking for a ROV or more ROV’s TO LOOK FOR THE BODIES OF THE DEAD quickly knowing they could be under the Gulf near the RIG and pipe for perhaps 8 weeks or more.  NO RESPONSE.

We recommended cutting the pipes and watched in HORROR as a special Hydraulic  BLADE was placed UNDER THE STRESSED PIPES and someone should have told them that the pipe would BIND UP THE CUT AND PREVENT ANYONE FROM CUTTING THE PIPE UNLESS THEY PUT THE BLADE ON THE TOP.   The next clues provided to the USCG, BP AND HORIZON was the undeniable fact that ROTARY TOOTHED BLADES should  N E V E R     N E V E R  attempt to cut stressed pipe underneath either let alone on the sides when Oceaneering has CHOP SAWS and ROTARY DIAMOND CUTTERS which would cut through that pipe in minutes rather than several hours with the TOOTH models.   Again we watched IN HORRROR when a diamond rotary saw went down to the FLANGE and started cutting on the right and toward BACK of the stressed riser on to of the FLANGE cutting a horizontal cut which really started pushing OIL, GAS AND WATER out intol the Gulf unchecked as the HYDRAULIC SHEAR made an uneven cut on the Riser near the bend which really opened up 100 percent flow plus that on the riser down near the flange which really made a mess.   I even advised BP and USCG to use pressure water hoses to keep the work area visible as the OIL would not allow viewing of the work area.

NOW COMES THE CUTE # 4 TOP HAT.    How stupid trying to capture the RISER opening and leaving THREE QUARTERS OF THE RISER BILLOWING OUT INTO THE GULF FROM UNDER THE HOOD ADDED TO THE RISER HORIZONTAL CUT WHICH WAS REALLY A DISASTER.    WHY NOT SIMPLY CHANGE THE FLANGE FOLKS OR USE THE BRANKO R. BABIC MACHINED SLEEVE WITH FLOW THRU PIPE, WEIGHTS AND SHUTOFF TO FLANGE THEN SEAL ON THE FLANGE WITH THAT 2-3 INCH MACHINED SURFACE EASILY CUT INTO SUPER THICK MACHINED SLEEVE PLUS FIRST FLANGE WOULD BE A TIGHT SEAL AND WEIGHT FORCED DOWN ON FLANGE SEAL WITH A SPECIAL FIBER SEAL BETWEEN THE SLEEVE AND FLANGE MAKING A SUPER TIGHT SEAL.   DOWN TOWARD THE BOP WOULD BE ANOTHER LOOSE MACHINED SURFACE OVER THE SECOND FLANGE WHERE SPECIAL THICK MATERIAL PERHAPS 6 INCHES THICK WITH HOLES TAPPED FOR SUPER BOLTS 12 INCHES LONG AND 2 INCHES THICK WOULD BE TURNED RIGHTY TIGHTY PRESSING AGAINST THE SECOND FLANGE SEALING SAME AND NOT ALLOWING ANYTHING TO MOVE.

ALL OF THIS GARBAGE DID NOTHING TO REALLY STEM THE FLOW OR CAPTURE THE OIL AND GAS.

WHY IN GOD’S NAME WOULD ANYONE WANT TO DO THESE THINGS WHEN ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO IS GET THE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS ON THE BOP FLANGE TWO THEN REPLACE SAME WITH NEW RISER AND SHUTOFF THEN FLANGE TO CONNECT TO THE SURFACE SHIP……CUTTING OFF THE FLOW AND SEALING THE BOP AT WILL. 

NOTICE;  IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH MUD AND CEMENT DOWN A FLOWING WELL WHEN IF YOU STOP THE FLOW ONE CAN SIMPLY PUSH THE MUD AND CEMENT DOWN THE KILL AREAS PUSHING BACK THE OIL AND GAS PLUS WATER THEN ONCE CEMENTED AND IT IS TESTED WITH THE TOP SHUTOFF ON THE BOP FLANGE THEN ONE CAN REMOVE THE BOP QUICKLY WITH THE FLANGED TEE WITH SHUTOFFS ON EACH SECTION PLACING IT ON THE CASING AND REMOVE THE BOP TO THE TOP THEN BRING A BOP WITH “I” BEAMS ACROSS THE BODY FOR 8 STORIES TO SUPPORT ALL OF THE BOP THEN YOU CONNECT THE BOP FLANGE TO THE TOP 90 DEGREE ELL AND SHUTOFF THEN FLANGE TO THE SURFACE FLOTATION RISERS !

Perhaps Brad can help by drawing the Tee with three shutoffs on the 36 inch casing to the special tee then tee horizontal with shutoff to the bop flange then lying down these BOP’s to the sea bed with a 90 degree ell and shutoff to the riser flotation flange…..that should make it easy to see for starters.   Do not forget the top flow from casing toward surface must have a special plate allowing flange to flange connection after the shutoff and side shutoffs with perhaps 12 inch short risers with shutoffs allowing insertion of water, mud, cement and when it sets up sealing the well closing off the shutoffs or anything needed.   SAFETY means the BOP must lie on the sea bottom supported by steel “I” beams specially dipped or painted to keep them from rusting for how many years ???? 50 ??? 100 ???
