  I have a couple of comments...... 

  it is hard for me to believe cameron was not aware or consulted about work to be done on the bop in china. the bop appears to be a specialized piece of equipment and unlikely to be modified by anyone other than the manufacturer.

  cameron the bop maker is located in houston. depending where the rig was working, I again find it hard to believe it was more economical to send it to china! 

  cameron's web site does not mention that their beijing location repairs/modifies bop's. [see below].
