RE:RE:Share rightsYup it's got a 15,000 psi BOP. It can handle pressure. Problem on Jaguar wasn't the BOP. It was FIT of only 19.6 ppg. They encountered pore pressures that trended higher than that. They were considering running a liner and going with a higher density drilling mud. But at about 20 ppg barite for weight material based muds turns into tooth paste. You have to go with a hematite for weight material based mud. The mud contractor, MI, didn't have any hematite available in Trinidad and it would have taken weeks to get any. So they abandoned the well. It's all in Repsol's pdf that I posted before.
So yeah Discoverer can handle it as could Atwood Beacon on Jaguar1. It goes beyond rig capabilities though.
