They come with larger containment chambers considered less likely to suffer pressure buildup than ones like those ravaged at Fukushima.
Franklin A. Smith of the Carlstadt Police Department, although he added that a pressure buildup might be to blame.
"The pressure buildup we're seeing is consistent with modeling we did around reservoir depletion," Mr. Wells said.
They watched it and took more measurements, which revealed a number of other abnormalities that signal a "kick" — an undetected pressure buildup.
BP officials said one reason the top-kill effort was abandoned was out of concern that a pressure buildup might damage the well.
Once the well began leaking, the pressure buildup should have been evident to workers monitoring the drilling mud that was being circulated through the pipes.
Pressure buildup analysis.
b Pressure buildup versus time for slot disk.
However, the particles here caused a much higher pressure buildup than that in the slot disk.
Integration of rate transient analysis and pressure buildup analysis methods can reduce uncertainties in SRV characterization.
