The fail-safe had NOTHING to do with the drilling, hence my suggestion to research “cementing”, which you obviously didn’t do prior to responding. Deep-drill technologies and methodologies have NOTHING to do with the process of cementing, which is why the cementing is done by an oil-services company, like Halliburton, versus the actual driller or rig owner.

Allan, I wasn’t addressing any technology in specific.
When the oil company operates a platform, it must have a fail-safe or contingency in case of an accident.
The explosion occurred and the fail-safe did not work.
There have been many attempts at plugging the gusher and none have worked. It’s been more than one month.[/quote]
Brian: You didn’t address any technology specifically? Uh, yeah, you did. You claimed from the outset that deep-drill technology didn’t work.
Look at your sentence above that reads, “The explosion occurred and the fail-safe did not work”. Why did the explosion occur, Brian? Do you know? Did you research “cementing” (and Ucodegen did, its referenced in his post) and where the failure occurred and who was responsible for it? Nope. Again, evasion and duck-and-weave while you continue to make a political point.
