2. Marine Oil Chimney.
Code Name Osiris.
• The purpose of the MOC is to construct a
synthetic rubber chimney from the BP Gulf oil
well head to the surface to contain the massive
spill.
• The MOC is essentially a chimney that will
contain the oil and allow it to flow up and
disperse the sea water, until the column is filled
with oil, where upon the oil can be siphoned into
tankers at the surface. Oil will flow, but be
contained.
