Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Is it because its beyond their capability.

    Can't they get specialists like "Red-a-dare" to do that.

    Its been going for 5 - 6 days now. No projected conclusion time announced.

    From the video the officials look totally confused and with no purpose in them.

    --- why can't they do that ---
    Dynamics present many potentials. My guess is the fire/explosion has driven crew out of the control room & other site specific control areas. Driven them out or killed them. Could have destroyed control option itself.
    My guess is they have to attack the chaos above from under water and they are not prepared.
    Without a strong watch dog over these kinds of operations, things can get out of hand --- FAST --- and literally nobody knows what to do.
    What kind of professionalism do you think of when thinking of baboonistan?

    Latest situation on offshore platform in Guneshli field





    The only improvements noticeable is the quality ( HD) of the pictures of the situation.

    I am not an expert for this type of things but if you have gas coming from under the water how can you "blow" the fire out with water.
    Surely somehow the gas source has to be stopped.
    .
    The gas that's comming from under the water is not the gas you see ignighting . The gas thats ignighting is the gas that has cleared the surface of the water. The fire part can be exstenguished by high pressure water , leaving the gas to enter the atmospher (UN)ignighting . To stop the gas flow itself, you need to cap the well or line gas is escaping from.

    Oil prices dive below $37 to lowest level in seven years

    Crude oil has lost more than two-thirds of its value since June 2014. The latest decline occurred on Tuesday as oil dropped below $37 a barrel for the first time since February 2009.

    I think they do not have the capability to work undersea to block the gas leak.

    They are simply pumping water to keep the platform cool so it does not collapse from overheating.

    I hope we have the GPS address of those platforms.

    That's one sweet opportunity to understand what kind of impact we can have with our missiles on those very same oilfields ..i bet some sweet rocket will do hell of a damage x10 times .

    We should study every aspect of this rare occurrence .

    I wonder how significant this platform was in the chain of platforms it linked to.

    It appears bringing this platform into line will take a long time.

    Could they run a new undersea pipeline bypassing this platform to re-establish supplies lines.

    In any event the underwater leak and fire are ongoing at the moment.

    .


    Guneshly appears as last platform before the run to the shore.

    I wonder how they will bypass this platform to continue to extract from the other fields.


    PS. Not that I am worried !!

    Azeri state energy company SOCAR said on Sunday 29 workers missing after an oil platform in the Caspian Sea caught fire on Friday were feared dead, and President Ilham Aliyev declared a day of national mourning, Reuters reports.
    tert.am

    SOCAR said one worker had been killed and 33 rescued, out of the 62 who were on the oil rig when the fire started.

    "We continue the search-and-rescue operation ... We regard those whom we have not found so far as missing ... We believe that God will help them, although it's probably impossible," Khoshbakh Usifzade, SOCAR first vice-president, told a news conference.

    Usifzade added rescuers were also searching for three more workers who had been swept into the sea in an accident on another oil platform on Friday.

    He said the fire was not completely extinguished yet but hoped it would be by the end of the day.

    Daily production on the platform was 920 tonnes of oil and 1.08 million cubic meters of gas.


    "These figures are our production losses so far," he said.

    Usifzade said the company would review its safety measures on its platforms, many of which were built in Soviet times.
