And, lest we forget, there are more immediate costs as well to these wells


...The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig was owned by Transocean, on hire to BP, in order to drill the Macondo field, estimated to contain over 50 million barrels of oil, two and a half miles below the seabed. The Deepwater Horizon was an ultra-deepwater, semi-submersible drilling rig...the water was almost 5,000 feet deep, creating enormous pressures at the well. To prevent the hydrocarbons (i.e., oil and gas) from rising upwards in the well to the surface, a heavy fluid (known as drilling ‘mud’) is injected into the shaft...

...Deepwater Horizon was to drill into the reservoir, then seal the well – known as temporary abandonment – ready for a future production unit to recover the oil. Drilling rigs such as these are mobile, moving around the world for contracts with major oil companies such as BP. A production unit (which may be a floating facility or a semi-permanent unit fixed to the seabed) then connects to the well to recover the hydrocarbons, possibly staying on location for decades. Delays meant that the Deepwater Horizon was overdue to leave the Macondo well by six weeks. The Macondo well had proved to be challenging, earning it the nickname “the well from hell”.

At the time, Transocean was a major offshore drilling rig contractor with over a hundred of these drilling rigs under contract. The fees for such a rig (and the specialist crew) could be up to $1 million per day. This contractual relationship between Transocean and BP was to become a key issue in the legal proceedings that followed the incident...

Surprising it is that such disasters are not more common, given the complexity of the needed machines and organization to make them work at all.

Your having found the Machines That Control The Weather might lead to your testifying before Congress. Well, perhaps *not*.

Thank you. A BRILLIANT Post! Here's a Toast

...indeed, but it's not the Dems, it's the humans running the oil companies.
