Deepwater Horizon Page #4

Synopsis: In April 2010, there is no oil exploration operation in the Gulf of Mexico to compare with the Deepwater Horizon oil rig with its size or sheer depth of its drilling. However, the project for the BP oil company is beset with technical difficulties to the point where the general operational supervisor, Jimmy Harrell, and his Chief Electrical Engineer, Mike Williams, are concerned potentially dangerous trouble is brewing. Unfortunately, visiting BP executives, frustrated by the project's long delays, order curtailed site inspections and slanted system tests to make up for lost time even as Harrell, Williams and his team helplessly protest for the sake of proper safety. On April 20, the workers' fears are realized in the worst possible way when the rig's various structural and system flaws spark a catastrophic cascade of failures that would create a massive blowout and explosion that threatens them all, even as it also begins the worst environmental disaster in US history.

- Clear. Says Mr. Toyota.

- Yes.

Attention on the

platform. Safety Notice.

Moving equipment.

Come here, baby.

Come here. Come.

Cancel.

Drain 400 barrels of mud.

It is understood. Starting.

Insert drill pipe is

very funny, very funny.

Shut up.

Hears. Duck!

What's up, Mike?

- How are you, Caleb?

- Hi Mike.

- I was much better two hours ago.

- Why?

I was asleep.

Yes?

Yes. We were awoken

to work overtime.

We have many pipes that

if we go out at night.

Street clothes? Cute.

Jimmy is angry. He wants

to know if we tested cement.

I'm not sure. I

do not think so.

- Do not? Hey, Shane!

- Yes?

Come here. Schlumberger

cement auditioned?

I do not know. I do not

believe. I just woke up, so...

- Is it silly?

- I do not know if it's silly...

but not the smartest.

Look, like

synchronized swimmers.

If you think too much,

he'll have a headache.

- Get out of here.

- Yes.

Up up.

- I care workers.

- Hello.

Why the hell do

you dress like that?

Jimmy wants to know if

Chlumberger auditioned cement.

- Which?

- Proof of cement. Please cooperate.

- Who?

- Enough, Jimmy is very annoying.

- Schlumberger, snobbish.

- Did we do the test?

No, Vidrine and Kaluza sent

them home without testing.

- Why the hell would they do that?

- I did not explain his reasons, Mike.

I guess it has to do with...

Money, money, money, money

Money!

Their phones do not work.

Sh*t.

Hey, Mr. Jimmy.

Ahead.

Schlumberger BP sent

home without testing.

There was no cement bond log.

Thanks, Mike.

Mike, the "A"

station had a fault.

- Dammit.

- Again the blue screen.

Hey, Duck, your work station?

My screen is unstable. And

my smoke alarm does not work.

How are you, Mike?

Sh*t.

I'll get my tools to fix it.

The we managed with

plasters and chewing gum.

Every time I start a bandage,

there are three or four under.

That is not working.

"Money" again. Come on.

- They weeks rehearsing.

- Money money...

No, the best part.

It's the best part! Money!

It could kill for money

The almighty dollar.

Hello, Hollywood.

- Mike!

- What there, Dale?!

- What do you know? We already finished?

- I do not know much. Possibly yes.

Yes, I'll go fishing

tonight. Covert.

I feel that we will go tonight. I

think that no one will go fishing!

Are you going to use your crane?

To catch a beluga whale or orca?

Good idea.

Sh*t. Willing to bet that we will be

in the same position in the next well?

- Yes. Odds?

- 50 to one.

Sh*t. I do not

accept that bet.

30 one. Same position.

Forget this.

Mike Williams,

you're a cheapskate!

- Patrick.

- What's up, Mike?

- What do you know?

- They say we complete.

- Finished?

- Yes.

- Who told you?
