When it became evident that the gulf oil spill was a major spill and previous methods for sealing such a leak were questionable. The call went out for concepts and technical help to stop the leak.

Myself as well as many others stepped forward with advanced technology concepts that were unfortunately either totally ignored by BP or put into a continuous cycle of requests for additional information. Government funding to become available at a later date.

Promised funding for such projects may someday be available but as for now it seems to be a waiting game. Waiting is a very dangerous game to play considering that currently there is no method of stopping a deep oil leak in a timely manner to avoid a major disaster. After witnessing the deep horizon event I as well as many others now consider every existing offshore well a potential time bomb just waiting to blow.

It has been well established over the years that to trust either the oil firms or the assigned regulatory agencies to maintain drilling safety on a consistent basis is a grievous and costly error. The only future defense we will have is to be able to apply new technology in a rapid response manner and minimize overall damage. That is the sole purpose of the system called EMOPP or “Electro Magnetic Oil Pipe Plugger”. Specifically designed to seal off a major deep well spills within days and not months.

There will of course be a period of time when oil firms will think twice about cost saving factors that create possible safety hazards. The politicians will voice there views through added legislation and agree in harmony “Never Again”. The regulators will rededicate themselves to following even stronger guidelines. Unfortunately history has shown in many ways that in spite of good intentions we usually go back to “business as usual”

One question from a 70year old retired Design Engineer / Former US Marine !

How many times must we hit the same tripwire before we can honestly say,
“WE GET IT !”
