And we will remove the way for the hydrocarbons to exit through the kill and choke lines on the original blowout preventer. then we move to three exit points, the choke and kill lines of the capping stack and then the top opening of the capping stack. then we will in sequence, first -- there are three rams that are part of the capping stack. the middle ram will be closed. that will seal the upper opening from any hydrocarbon release and leaves us the kill and choke lines. the kill line will be closed as well. this is either open or shut. that leaves the choke line of the capping stack as the l...

The man leading the federal government's response to the gulf oil disaster. still in the middle of an updated briefing from houston. retired ghost kaurd admiral thad allen thld describing what you would have to say is a pretty deliberate procedure being taken this afternoon to close five openings allowing oil to pour out of the wellbore. several lines have to be sealed off, the stacking cap line, the kill line, the choke line, the bore line. i think there was one other. all of these lines have to be closed off at each step along the way while integrity will be tested. the wellbore integrity te...

Pressure indeterminately and indefinitely which means there is an aunt to have an opportunity of a shut in of the well to just hold them at this point. anything less than that might bring into play a decision to continue to produce. at that point, we will be a tibl produce off of four lines. the choke and the kill line from the original blowout preventer, plus the choke and the kill lines from the new stacking cap. that is intended around the 18th of july to take us to a capacity of 60,000 to 80,000 barrels a day which we think will exceed the flow. so we can do a policy shut in of the well an...

Will be venting basically through three different stack sets on the capping stack, the kill line, the choke line, and the mainline going through the bore. then in sequence, we will attempt to close the stack down and assess the pressure readings as we do that. the first thingy we will do is close the three rams, the main ram, that will be closed and that will basically shut off the flow outward to the top of the capping stack. at that point we'll take pressure readings. we will then close the kill line, which is the second remaining outlet and take pressure readings. the third and most critica...

Saturday, and that's at the earliest. why? there is a complicated system of connections that still need to be made. the national incident commander, thad allen, explained it this way. >> as you know, the discovery enterprise is taking oil straight from the riser pipe and the lower package right now through the containment cap. we're also producing through the choke line, through the q4000. we intend to take the oil coming out of the kill line at this point, and hook that up to the helix producer. >> now, when that helix producer is hooked up, and this is the most important thing, that thad all...
