...Bud Danenberger, the former chief of the offshore regulatory program at the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service, will tell the panel that from 1992 through 2006, 18 of 39 blowouts--in which gas rushes up through the pipelines--involved cementing operations. Without offering any conclusions about the cause of the Deepwater Horizon explosion, he will say that an industry standard should be developed to address cementing problems, how they occur and what action should be taken when they do occur.
Danenberger will also testify that there is "no evidence" that requiring oil rigs to use acoustic backup systems "would have made a difference in this incident." He said that workers had already tried to activate underseas equipment to shut off the well, called a blowout preventer, before the oil rig was evacuated, and "it is unlikely that additional signals sent acoustically to the stack would have prevented a blowout."
Beck will say that cement is one of the key ways to guard against a blowout, but "perhaps the most difficult barrier to install and control."

Halliburton was in charge of the cement operation at the rig.

The Same Halliburton to which Obama recently awarded a No Bid Contract?!?!?!?!!?!!!
FORSOOTH and FO SHIZZLE!
Obama had it blown up so he could gain support for his climate bill, aka cap and takeover energy(also known as cap and trade).
He got a 2 for 1 because now he doesn't have to live up to his recent offshore drilling cave-in.
You took me serious? No wonder people think progressives are dumb and dangerous

The new math:
Halliburton + (oil rig)(cement)/catastrophe = √Cheney x Bush∞

I'm sorry, did I mention anything about politics in that post? I don't think I did.
Though saying Halliburton is somehow an Obama-linked organization is the height of hypocrisy.
LOL.
Bub - you dragged Halliburton into the discussion. Deal with it.
You didn't, but we both know it's coming. Like it or not.
Bub - you dragged Halliburton into the discussion. Deal with it.
That would be because Halliburton was the company that did the cement.
Now, what was I "dealing with" again?
The new math:
Halliburton + (oil rig)(cement)/catastrophe = √Cheney x Bush∞
Again, no blame was in fact assigned to any political figure in the OP.
Is there something in the board regs which specifies that posters may only post what the OP wants them to post?

Agreed. And I don't believe you would. But, as I said above, it's coming. It always does.
