A second BP effort on May 8 to contain the well failed‚ as did a 26-29 May effort to top kill the well‚ or plug it with drilling mud. It was on June 4 that BP was able to install a lower marine riser cap‚ which allowed for leaking gas and oil to be collected by surface vessels.

A standard practice in this industry is for the rig manufacturer to manage its dayto-day operations‚ so employees on the LINK650 are managed completely by LINK managers with no involvement from CanOil. No one has forgotten the Ocean Ranger tragedy‚ but drilling rig jobs pay well and offer generous time off. The newspaper

I don’t feel that we know enough information about drilling deep water. According to Margolis‚ “ water pressure at those depths is more than 200 times that of the atmosphere at the surface‚ and no one knew what all the heat‚ gas‚ and salt below the seafloor might do to the drilling equipment”(Margolis‚ 2010‚ para.).

Since the later stages of the industrial revolution and the first gasoline powered car were invented there has been an insatiable demand for petroleum. Oil well drilling first began onshore and then eventually led to shallow water drilling and finally deep water drilling as the technology evolved. Over the last twenty
