- Will Transocean be releasing any details on yesterday’s “water ingress?” Will the results of their internal investigation ever be made public? (We are still waiting for their report on the fatal crane incident last August offshore Nigeria.)
- Will an independent investigation be conducted? Will the authorities in Ghana participate?
- Did the damage that the Marianas incurred during Hurricane Ike (2008) or Tropical Storm Ida (2009) in any way contribute to yesterday’s apparent structural failure?
- When will we have an international system that ensures (a) prompt, independent, and complete investigations of all significant accidents, and (b) the timely release of findings?

From Offshore Magazine
The deepwater Jubilee field development offshore Ghana is on track to deliver first oil late in 2010, according to partner Tullow Oil.
Tip-of-the-hat to Ghana which advanced in the World Cup at the expense of my Yanks. They deserved the win.
In a recent update, Offshore Magazine says Ghana ” is fast becoming one of the E&P bright spots for offshore Africa.” I hope representatives from Ghana are able to join us at the International Regulators’ Offshore Safety Conference in October.
Good luck to Ghana in the next round of the World Cup!
