Rear Admiral Landry:

I have been watching carefully the attempts to cut away the lines at the RISER coming out of the BOP.
Even today the mix looks like more of the MUD coming out as no doubt many thousands of gallons of MUD were put in
the line and is being pushed out unless you are still connected with surface mud.

NOW HEAR THIS….IXTOC 1 was sealed by PEMEX pumping large LEAD BALLS covered with Grease into their
RUNAWAY WELL. Yours is not a RUNAWAY for the BOP is on top of the Casing. The SIDE PUNCH HAIL MARY PASS
using another drilling rig could FAIL with two massive leaks. Option….start the JUNK SHOT again with specific
sections of ROUND STEEL BALL BEARINGS SIZE SPECIFIC TO XRAY TAKEN BY USCG OF PARTIAL OPENING. IF there
are several inches BIGGER than the pipe to take the balls pushed into the line consider tying them together with some
sort of steel line to make them stay connected together then watch as they go into the crease….CREASE of bent riser.

Steel BALLS or bearings are available as are those cute steel sections of 1 or 2 inch solid steel round or square pipe
which can be cut and forced for the JUNK SHOT which would no doubt PASS through the BOP partially closed item but
if connected with wire crimped they would STOP on the CREASE AND BUILD UP causing everything to stop then you
could load up STEEL BALLS or even have lead balls being made on the barge ready to force with AIR down into the
BOP base lines like you did cement or mud.

The JUNK SHOT with golf balls did not work because the Rubber and even the GOLF BALLS flex with pressure where
the STEEL WOULD NOT FLEX nor the LEAD BALLS. Alternated lead and steel would perhaps work faster and easier.
LOOK AT THE RISE CREASE and see how big the holes are right now as all BALLS must not go past that area.

Anyone FIND the RUBBER or GOLF BALLS UNDERWATER to send to Tiger Woods ?

AGAIN. Before you chop off the riser for full flow, might check on shutting down this LEAKING TOP RISER CREASED
USING NOW STEEL BALLS CONNECTED BY WIRE CRIMPED LIKE DUAL BALLS OR TRIPLE BALLS IN A ROW PUMPED
INTO THE BOP BASE. Such would work IMHO.

AGAIN CHECK WITH PEMEX as they had to pump large balls into the runaway IXTOC 1. You can do it without drilling
in from the side and pushing balls…..shut it down quickly trying the steel balls and if it starts shutting off then get
LEAD BEHIND THE STEEL in sufficient quantity to allow crushing of the top RISER section by HYDRAULICS making a
perfect LEAD STEEL SEAL.

Get the pipe down to make a fire hose push water away from the work area please as the ROV must stop too often
cutting side pipes because he or she cannot see the pipe and wheel cutting.
