Gulf of Mexico – ”Horizon” 2010<br />
(Exam problem - <strong>Multiphase</strong> course)<br />
Environmental<br />
issues<br />
The drilling rig “Horizon” experienced a gas-kick k while drilling<br />
for BP in the Gulf of Mexico on April 21 st 2010. The rig sank <strong>and</strong><br />
oil leaked out from the well at a <strong>flow</strong> rate Q L = 10 L/s. Several<br />
methods have been proposed to prevent the oil from spreading<br />
on the sea surface. In one concept a large hood (funnel) as<br />
shown in the figure above will be positioned over the well head<br />
with a vertical pipeline system leading the oil up to the sea<br />
surface for collection.<br />
