A few notes on Ed Kincer's fascinating presentation at May 10, 2011 MSUG General Membership Meeting

April 20, 2010- Two months after it began drilling off the Louisiana coast, Deepwater Horizon exploded and 2 days later sank into the Gulf of Mexico.  The event was among the largest accidental marine oil spills.  Media was consumed with stories of lives lost, environmental, economic, and social impacts.  Much less spotlight was given to the massive mobilization effort of people, materials, and resources to contain, clean, and "clean up the clean up" after the 152 days it took to permanently cap the well.
