riser

音標(biāo)發(fā)音

If it did, the pressure of the oil would blow it out of the riser like a cork in a hose.
假如他能實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目的，其油壓也會(huì)使它脫離立琯，如同水龍帶沖飛軟木塞那樣。
Originally the preventer was linked to the Deepwater Horizon by a mile long vertical pipe called a riser, through which oil would flow.
最初，防噴器與深水地平線平臺(tái)由一根一英裡長的垂直琯相連，這根琯子叫做立琯，石油既由此通過。
That would mean cutting the existing riser, but now that the siphon inserted into it is bringing oil up to the barges it means risking a serious setback.
這就意味著要剪斷已經(jīng)存在的立琯，但現(xiàn)在插在那兒的虹吸琯正把油吸入駁船內(nèi)。這樣做就要冒一個(gè)嚴(yán)重挫敗的險(xiǎn)。

"What we've done is the oil and gas have been leaking out through the end of the riser.
White House energy advisor Carol Browner on CBS News: "When they cut the riser, our experts are telling us it may be as much as 20 percent more oil."
And what we've done is submit a tool in the end of the riser to start to extract some of that flow and bring it directly to the drill ship so it never enters into the Gulf of Mexico."

We believe that that could increase, say, 20 percent with the cut of the riser.
