agreed. That said I hope BP pulls through this and then realizes that safety is better achieved through good judgement rather than having 2 more JSA's before every operation.

I think it came up the annulus personally. Unless they totally pencil whipped their job log it can't have come up the shoe track, but I don't buy this idea of "gas channeling" either. For the flow rates coming out of that wellhead, I think they had to be losing cement into the formation.

Just checked the report again, they do claim the floats failed but also admit that the kick could have come up the annulus, however the job log shows full returns during the cement job. No mention of mud weight coming out of hole or gas.

Agreed. Always stop the job if you know it is wrong. I have heard that Co. Man was a real dick though, I know a couple guys that worked with him.
Also, I heard they lost returns during the cement job so that is definitely a bad sign. However, I think the official report, which may have changed since I read it, claims the autofill floats did not convert and therefore didn't hold the well from coming in when they displaced to brine. That seems kind of odd to me though, cause if that happened the cement should have U-tubed up the casing quite a bit which would form a pretty good plug, unless they just lost all the cement in the formation. Anyway, I guess they know the situation better than me.
As leaked earlier the State Department's assessment (full report) of TransCanada's (TRP) Keystone pipeline project finds little to criticize as far as environmental impact, calling it "very unlikely" any releases would affect groundwater quality. The report also doesn't see much climate impact nor "significant adverse" impact on Canada's environment. There's now a 45-day comment period and then things move to the White House.

The easiest way to describe it is : total clusterf**k Anyway, I think there are a couple small refineries in the state, not enough to even handle its own crude production. And to get canadian crude they would still need a pipeline crossing an international border which requires federal approval.
Also, gathering lines are apparently a luxury for them, they prefer clogging an overloaded highway system with big slow ass trucks.

Well, anyone that has ever worked on an drilling rig knows that the Company Man calls the shots, and he represents the operating company. (BP in this case.) Not to say that RIG and the others are without fault, but BP made the decisions that led to the disaster and ultimately bears the responsibility.
Windows 8 (MSFT) only made up 2.67% of PC Web traffic in February, per Net Applications. That's up modestly from 2.36% in January, and is the latest datapoint suggesting a slow adoption rate for Microsoft's latest OS. Windows 7 and XP accounted for 83.5% of Web traffic between them.

But Kurt Cobb questions the logic of exporting natural gas from the U.S., citing that the U.S. still imports natural gas on a large scale and that exposing U.S. prices to the world market will invariably drag them higher.

After using windows 8 I think MSFT is lucky to still be in the double digits....
New York state's decision to lift its ban on fracking faces further delay after officials conducting a key health impact study asked for more time. The move will push back the publication of the state's environmental report, which in turn will delay the drafting of Gov. Cuomo's drilling regulations, possibly forcing a re-start of the regulatory process, which could hold up the process for months. [View news story]
Honestly it makes sense for NY to continue the ban. That will keep all the oilfield trash like me out of the state, and they can just buy oil and gas from the productive states like Texas and ND. Also Canada.
