MC 252
[edit]Tnx for catching and fixing my error calling it MC 194. I've been retired from the industry nearly 20 years, but formerly had a lot of dealings with Shell's Cognac prospect MC 194. Still on my mind I guess... Casey (talk) 03:35, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Article on technology of blowout prevention
[edit]Hello Andy, You look like the perfect person to help with an article I just started Offshore oil spill prevention. I'm an Electrical Engineer, not a specialist in the subject of this article, so I hope to get some experts like yourself involved. I started this article, because I am very frustrated at the lack of good technical information. The few paragraphs in Deepwater Horizon oil spill are not enough, and that article is already too long.
I'm finding it very difficult to get good technical information, for example, on the blowout preventer. BP's cartoonish drawings are not enough. Do you know where I might find some better drawings, perhaps something from which I could make a simpler drawing that will be appropriate for Wikipedia?
We have a discussion going on now on whether to delete this article, merge it into something else, or expand it, and make it the best source of information on the technology relevant to this disaster. Your input would be welcome.

- Some info at http://www.energy.gov/open/oilspilldata.htm. Casey (talk)
- Thanks. That's the best link yet. Still need some internals on the BOP, however. Can those shears really cut through the drill pipe, and make a tight seal? Is there a way to inject hydraulic fluid, if all else fails? --Dave (talk) 20:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Offshore oil spill prevention is a bit of a vague subject to my mind. The notablility is either 'how to maintain control over oil and gas wells' see well control, or 'how to recover from an uncontrolled event' see Blowout (well drilling) and well kill. The BOP is a very established product, and subsea ones are enormous 200+ tonne pieces of steel with complex electronic and hydraulic systems. If you are interested in deepwater BOPs then suggest you look at the manufacturers (Cameron, GE Vetco, Aker Kvaerner, FMC, Dril-Quip) or this specialist consultant (http://westengineer.com/publication.htm). (andyminicooper (talk) 22:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC))
- Yes, we are struggling with the vague title, but the "About" template at the top of the article makes the scope a lot more clear. Maybe we should add "technology" to the title. I did look at the Cameron and FMC websites, and all I found were pretty pictures. The West Engineering website is excellent, however. I've added to the article a link to their 2002 study on the reliability of ram-type BOPs. I think the problem is maybe that BOPs are too well established as a product. I am astonished that nothing seems to have changed when they started using them in deep water. Your help is greatly appreciated. --Dave (talk) 23:07, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Request for help concerning energy...
[edit]Hi,
I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.
There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.
The new energy outlines are:
Please take a look at them, and....
- if you spot missing topics, add them in.
- if you can, improve the descriptions.
- add missing descriptions.
- show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).
- fix errors.
For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.
Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.
Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...
As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{Main}} links, etc.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.
Thank you.
