Well, the cut was made. Not pretty, but it is done. Next the plan is to pump the oil to a ship. The riser insertion tube will be inserted into the riser between the well and the broken end of the riser on the seafloor in 5,000 feet of water. The insertion tube will be connected to a new riser to allow hydrocarbons to flow up to the Transocean Discoverer Enterprise drillship located on the surface. The oil will be separated and then safely shipped ashore. The insertion tube device is now on location and is in the process of being prepared for installation.
