Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE)

Per the Platts Oilgram report that we posted on 17 March, here is the complete court filing..

These are the additional tests recommended by BP’s consultant Ralph Linenberger:

• Removal and forensic analysis of each annular element
• Hydraulic signature testing of the annular preventer operator and ram preventers operators
• Disassembly and inspection of the annular preventer and ram preventer bonnets
• Laser scanning of (i) the entire BOP wellbore; (ii) the upper annular packer and upper annular cap; (iii) the inside of the riser kink; and (iv) the wellbore-facing surfaces of the casing shear ram bonnets
• Hydraulic circuitry pressure test
• ST lock circuit confirmation
• Solenoid pie connector pin measurement and corresponding female receptacle analysis.

Is anyone else surprised that some (all?) of these tests hadn’t already been conducted? That would seem to be the biggest revelation from the BP court filing.
