This has nothing to do with deep-drill technology, genius, it had everything to do with a process called “cementing”, which isn’t even handled by the driller, but by the oil-services company, in this case, Halliburton.[/quote]
Allan, by drillers, I mean the oil extraction industry.
The way I see it, the fail-safe failed.
The drill-baby-drill crowd have argued that extraction is minimally invasive thanks to new technology… until the technology fails and we end up with a huge environmental disaster.
BP obviously didn’t have the technology at the ready to plug the oil gusher.[/quote]
Brian: This is what you’re famous for: Completely ignoring the actual facts and coming back with an argument that is meaningless.
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.
Like so many of your other responses, this is just glib evasion and designed to support your view (incorrect, in this instance), without having any supporting facts.
