Skandi ROV1 is moving a yellow pipe off the sea bed. It looks like a check to the top kill manifold.

Yup. I am almost ready to shut my eyes, got to be up at 07:30.

matthewhotdude · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:05

other 2 are back up

well they were

Cosimo · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:05

The 2 cams are back.

Spoke too soon.

The ROVs are moving back, could this be it?

matthewhotdude · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:07

back again

Dogoid · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:10

i think the cap is directly above the BOP. it still could be ages before the go ahead for the lowering

Dogoid · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:14

scratch that, i can see in one of the feeds the other 2 rovs a fair bit away from BOP, and in a different feed the cap and a rov. so i assume the cap is by the rovs i saw metres away from BOP

Ready for showtime:

matthewhotdude · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:20

getting close now

Dogoid · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:20

here we go

FoxEye · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:22

cap is touching bop now, but a little too low

Dogoid · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:25

its being raised

matthewhotdude · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:25

take it it wasnt supposed to be touching it while that low

Dogoid · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:26

rov keeping cap away from bop

23JMZ07 · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:28

its a bit low sir

matthewhotdude · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:30

lets hope they havent damaged it

23JMZ07 · 4 Jun 2010 at 02:30

indeed, from rumours, it is 20 million litres a day flowing out.. How much oil is down there and will this increase fuel prices more?

rov has both hands locked on now
