Read about this earlier. Said wild well control went out but could not get within 200' of the platform.

I know nothing about the design of those wells, but wouldn't it be a good idea to have a valve below the waterline to shut them in in cases like this?

It has a Blow Out Preventer (BOP) installed at the point the well reached the sea floor. From the photograph showing the cloud of gas coming from the well it looks like the BOP didn't manage to close-off the flow. Wonder could a submersible go down and manage to close the BOP manually? |

I'm sure that will happen as soon as a submersible can be brought to the location and its determined that no structure can fall on it. |

Pretty sure this rig was doing a workover on an existing well for Walter Oil and Gas. If so, the BOP stack would most likely be on the rig floor rather than the sea floor. Rigzone.com will most likely have the latest updates out before other sites.

http://www.wafb.com/story/22917158/gas-well-in-the-gulf-catches-fire-after-blowout
An out-of-control natural gas well burned Wednesday off Louisiana hours after it ignited following a blowout, though authorities said there was no sign of a slick on the surface of the water. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement says no sheens were spotted near the well during flyovers Wednesday morning. The lack of sheen indicates the fire indicates the gas is burning off with no sign that oil or other hydrocarbons are being released into the water. Federal authorities also saw damage to the drilling rig from the air. That map above has New Orleans in the wrong place as well, not to mention the general outline of Louisiana is wrong. |

Looks like the heat is getting to the rig. The substructure has started to collapse and the rig is breaking up. It looks like the lease operator is lining up a rig to drill a relief well so this one can be cemented up.

I guess they will have to. What would that well be called. It was already A3, and being sidetracked, and now will be sidetracked into again. A3-ST2.1? I am interested to see where this goes, and the impact on the rest of the Gulf. I know we have 3 rigs in our field right now, and plan to have another on the way soon.

We have a strategic reserve of nuclear weapons hidden in one of those salt domes, so it'll be worse than Chernobyl, and will probably tilt the Earth axis by 20 degrees or more.
