FWIW, My Comment;
The Casing will be cut{using one of their a wire saw or chopsaw]
A Hydraulic Smart Flange (HSF) will be installed.
Valving system will be attached to the HSF.
This is Just My Comment.

So as of this afternoon the operation is stopped because the ROV that was cutting the pipe - straight across from the bottom, made a partial cut before the weight of the cut pipe pinched the sawblade. So the blade is now stuck, can't continue the cut and the ROV is now stuck too...
Somebody pass me the popcorn this show has more mishaps than an I Love Lucy rerun.

Mike,
You have a URL showing the video?
I may be wrong, OI has ROV horizontal "chopsaw to 60" OD as standard in-stock unit.
In image made from video released by British Petroleum (BP PLC), robot submarines use a circular saw-like device to cut a pipe at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig Tuesday.

BP reports delays in cutting off Deepwater Horizon riser
Jun 2, 2010

OGJ Senior Staff Writer
HOUSTON, June 2 -- BP PLC successfully made the first of two cuts in the damaged Deepwater Horizon riser on the seabed, but while making the second cut, crews reported the diamond-cut saw was binding as it moved horizontally through the riser, said National Incident Commander and Adm. Thad Allen.
“The cleaner the cut, the tighter the seal we can make,” Allen said, adding that the goal is to finish making the horizontal cut on June 2 so that a cap can be placed on top of the failed blowout preventer’s lower marine riser package (LMRP) to enable the collection of oil and gas flowing from the runaway Macondo well. Collected oil and gas will go to a drillship.
Crews were trying to reposition the riser so the saw could move again, he said, adding it was possible that the saw might have to be brought to the surface to resolve the problem.
In other news, Allen confirmed that oil had reached Petit Bois Island, a barrier island in the Mississippi Sound near the Mississippi-Alabama border. Oil previously reached shore in Louisiana and Alabama. There are some reports of oil on Pensacola beach in Florida, but Allen said officials have yet to confirm those reports.
An Apr. 20 fire and explosion on Transocean Ltd.’s Deepwater Horizon semisubmersible, which was drilling for BP and its partners, left 11 crew members dead. The Deepwater Horizon sank Apr. 22. Following a May 29 announcement that the “top kill” operation had failed to stem the flow from the leaking well, crews moved to deploy a LMRP cap containment system.
Two caps are sitting on the seabed in 5,000 ft of water, and the one that will be used is dependent upon the flatness and smoothness of the cut across the failed BOP’s LMRP, BP executives have said.
