    This morning, a discharge of liquids was observed from a diverter valve on the drillship Discoverer Enterprise stationed at the MC252 wellsite. As a precaution, the lower marine riser package (LMRP) containment cap attached to the Discoverer Enterprise was moved off the failed blow-out preventer (BOP) on the Deepwater Horizon to ensure safety and allow analysis of the unexpected liquid release. Capture of oil and gas through the LMRP cap is temporarily suspended until it can be reinstalled, but capture continues through the BOP's choke line via a manifold to the Q4000 vessel.

    Suspension of LMRP Cap Containment


    Operations
    Release date: 23 June 2010

    This morning at approximately 0845 CDT a discharge of liquids was observed from a diverter
    valve on the drillship Discoverer Enterprise, which is on station at the MC252 wellsite. As a
    precautionary measure, the lower marine riser package (LMRP) containment cap system,
    attached to the Discoverer Enterprise, has been moved off the Deepwater Horizon’s failed blow-
    out preventer (BOP) to ensure the safety of operations and allow the unexpected release of
    liquids to be analysed.

    Capture of oil and gas through the LMRP cap is therefore temporarily suspended until such time
    that the cap can be re-installed. Capture of oil and gas through the BOP’s choke line via a
    manifold to the Q4000 vessel on the surface continues.
