Why did the gulf oil spill happen?
My opinion: People were careless and not paying attention. Technical: it is still being investigated but what they think happened is a safety device called a blowout preventer failed to stop the flow of the oil from the well. BP calls this unreliable but new theories have emerged. a survivor part of a blowout preventer seal broke during an accident weeks before the explosion. - http://www.propublica.org/blog/item/gulf-oil-spill-faq-what-happened-what-may-have-caused-it-and-whos-responsible by Marian Wang
What time did the oil spill start?
Somewhere between 9:45 to 9:55 pm on April 20, the well surged and blew out. The oil first was coming out of the rotary hose, and splashing down on the rig floor. At this point, oil was undoubtedly being spilled into the gulf as the blowout preventer failed to activate.
What is the function of Blow Out preventer in drilling Rig?
Blowout Preventers for Well-Boring or DrillingBlowout Preventers also known as a BOP is a large valve that is able to seal off at the surface of a well that is being worked upon or drilled over. Preventers may have their valve closed during well interventions or drilling if there is an over pressure created as a result of an under ground zone resulting in the formation of fluids such as natural gas or oil to enter the well bore and threaten the proper functioning of the rig. Blowout preventer can be affected by closing the valve that is generally operated with the help of remote control through the hydraulic actuators.
