Top Hat #4 Has Troubles...
The rubber broke...
We all remember good ol' #4, right? It's the awesome BP Top Hat that has ramped up its capture of oil from 1,000 Barrels a day, to 10,000 Barrels a day without showing any visible signs of doing much of anything at the Wellhead purported only leaking 5,000 Barrels a day, with no successful adjustments to the escape vents. The one we've been following since Thursday night's installation:

Here's a pic of the inside of the Top Hat just before installation... Blue/Black rubber coating in there... Thick rubber gasket secured over it...

That ripped out, and is sort of flapping there, when the Top Hat lifts up in a gout of Methane:

Oops.
It's a good thing that they are starting a small collection of Top Hats down there, at this rate, (one every every four days) we'll need a string of them!

Heckuva job, BP Brain Trust and Clown College! Success is near-- I can smell it!!! Or, is that the BP stank getting blown up on the southerly winds?
