Energy in Azerbaijan

Re: Energy in Azerbaijan

Why can't they do that.

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?

......To stop the gas flow itself, you need to cap the well or line gas is escaping from.

Latest situation on offshore platform in Guneshli field

http://news.az/articles/society/103360

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.

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.

Re: Energy in Azerbaijan

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.

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.
