to offshore drilling and the progression to deepwater activity. In that context I'll cover the Deepwater Horizon accident and its lessons. I'll then conclude class discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico - Holstein, Mad Dog, Thunder Horse and Atlantis 17 May 2010 As the Gulf Coast disaster unfolds, we ask the question. In this 2005 picture, British Petroleum's Thunder Horse oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is 23 Jan 2017 The sun sets over an oil platform BP has started up one of its first major projects in the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon disaster, almost BP's surprise launch of the $1bn Thunder Horse expansion project is one 24 Jan 2011 When Tony Hayward took over BP in 2007 – after the oil giant had later Thunder Horse, BP's giant new production platform in the Gulf of 17 Nov 2007 With capacity to produce 250000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic Befitting its name, BP's massive Thunder Horse offshore platform has Chevron West Seno - Makassar Strait Indonesia (Asia First TLP, 1021m) 4. BP Thunderhorse - Gulf of Mexico US ( World Largest Floating Platform, 1828m)…
I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT BEFORE OF THE INCIDENT. I THINK EARLIER YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BEING OVER THE RIG AUDIT ON JULY 11, 2007, THUNDER HORSE, ALMOST CAPSIZING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. WERE TO MOBILE OFFSHORE DRILLING UNITS, BUT YEAH, THUNDER HORSE 26 Aug 2010 SO THE DRILLING AND COMPLETIONS RESCHEDULED EVERY OTHER THIS IS THE FIRST TO THE TO GET THE JOB OF THE OFFSHORE RIG. WHEN YOU ARE ON THE BRIDGE AND THE INCIDENT STARTED TO OCCUR, YOU AND THE PDQ PLATFORM RIG ON THE THUNDER HORSE. 2 Dec 2010 The National Oil Spill Commissioners and Commission staff met to of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and options to guard against and
The reason was corrosion caused by sediment buildup in the pipe, which hadn't been cleaned in over a decade. Five months later, BP was forced to shut down operations after a second spill. In the aftermath of the Alaska spills, questions were raised about the quality of the pipe inspections,
BP discovers 1 billion barrels of oil at its Thunder Horse field in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil giant also says it will spend $1.3 billion to develop a third phase of its Atlantis offshore field The reason was corrosion caused by sediment buildup in the pipe, which hadn't been cleaned in over a decade. Five months later, BP was forced to shut down operations after a second spill. In the aftermath of the Alaska spills, questions were raised about the quality of the pipe inspections, Major mishaps aboard oil rigs are rare. But accidents like the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion show the risks as companies explore farther and drill deeper. Not to mention problems with the cabling. Thunderhorse was supposed to have a system for remote monitoring and control of the ballast tanks, but this was not operational at the time of hurricane Dennis. Older accidents include the Alexander L. Kielland accident in the North Sea in 1980. A fatigue crack in one of the bracings between the legs of the semisubmersible caused it to capsize. Thunder Horse PDQ is a BP plc and ExxonMobil joint venture semi-submersible oil platform on location over the Mississippi Canyon Thunder Horse oil field (Block 778/822), in deepwater Gulf of Mexico, 150 miles (240 km) southeast of New Orleans, moored in waters of 1,840 metres (6,040 ft). The "PDQ" identifies the platform as being a Production and oil Drilling facility with crew Quarters.
