Announced May 30, 2010, a Texas oil rig and pipeline expert has developed a solution that could stop the underwater gusher in a matter of days. Details of this logical fix are now available online.
Daniel E. Davis, who holds numerous patents in the pipeline and hydraulics industries, has developed a step-by-step solution to quickly gain control of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Davis is the CEO of the D.E. Davis Group, a consortium of construction, heavy equipment and pipeline companies based in Harlingen, Texas. He has extensive experience with off shore oil rigs and oil field operations, having worked throughout North, South and Central America for more than thirty years.
The logical solution involves capping the leak with a structure similar to the first one BP attempted to use. This one would be fitted with 30+ inch output ports and collars to control flow and pressure. The structure would be put in place from a vertical style deep water pipelaying vessel with dynamic positioning capabilities. Davis explains that an oil and gas separator at the surface is the key feature needed to provide product and pressure control.
Davis has assembled a team of experts with years of experience from all over the world. Given the green light, he believes that he can have the spill contained within a matter of days with equipment and resources already in the area.
