Stuff Breaks.
The well had reached a depth of over 20,000 feet and was being drilled from a ship called the Rowan Reliance. This was a very expensive well to abandon.

So what happened? According to this terse news account, there was a failure of a seal in the riser — the pipe that extends from the seafloor up to the drillship. Luckily in this instance we don’t expect any spill to result from this accident, but it’s a stark reminder: stuff breaks. Mechanical failures and human mistakes are inevitable, with increasingly high stakes as offshore drilling pushes ever deeper.
We can, and do, build incredible things in our pursuit of oil and gas. But in water more than a mile deep, with high-pressure wells extending miles below the seafloor…will we be able to fix them when they break?
