I have refused to work with buyers that have run amok and/or will not sign a Buyer/Broker agency agreement with me. I would typically use my extensive RE knowledge and intimate knowledge of particular areas and tracts to assist them in getting the best deal and likewise, I insist on loyalty to me.

Too often the Buyer/Broker agency agreement has been used to the detriment of the buyer. I think a better agreement would be one covering a specific address that was shown to the potential buyer as opposed to a general ‘blanket’ agreement.

A short one-pager covering a specific amount of time, protecting the Broker’s time and effort spent in showing the property would be quite reasonable.

I believe you asked us to email complaints, maybe sdddude did this but his schoolyard bullying tactics against brian are, or were, on the threads.

To be honest though, it was a case of bully against bully. “briansd1” tries(ed) to turn almost every discussion into a Democrat vs Republican mudthrowing contest.
sduuuude has been on this board far longer than briansd1 and we haven’t had that much of a problem with sdduuuude before. I suspect that he may have just had enough of briansd1 and ‘lost it’. I just prefer not to ‘feed the trolls’.

— tried because I am giving briansd1 the benefit of doubt on his ‘reformation’.

A 20″ ANSI B16.5 600 class flange uses 1.625″ bolts torqued to 2,044 ft-lb and is rated for about 740 psi working pressure under normal conditions. It weighs 590 pounds.

First problem. I’m seeing indication that the pipe (inner) diameter is 9.5 inches. Since strings are run inside of each other, I don’t know for certain what the top string diameter is.

When I pulled up tables on Class 600 flanges, I saw sizes running 2″ to 4″ with 8 bolt, and 6″ to 8″ at 12 bolts. Going to the video, it almost looks like at most a 8 or 10 bolt flange. Sizes above 12″ are showing more than 20 bolts.

Class 1500 shows 8 bolts in diameters of 2″ to 4″ inch, 12 bolts in diameters of 6″ to 10″, 16 bolts in diameters of 12″. I don’t think we are dealing with diameters of 20″. There aren’t a sufficient number of bolts on the top of the blowout preventor where they made the cut.

My broader point was just that it was not a slam dunk to get those bolts off; seems like you agree.

I don’t agree. I think it is easier than they were making it. It is very easy to get an impact wrench that will do 500ft/lbs to 1000ft/lbs of torque.

Considering that they had to bolt the pipes together underwater, they have the tools to generate the needed torque at those depths. It took them forever to cut the top of the broken riser. This is why I feel that they don’t have the ‘A’ team working on it (laid them off so they could make more profit?) In normal run-away wells, you try to clear the damage quickly and then get a clean mount. BP was doing everything but this – including taking time for fingerpointing.
