The impact of a hole in a pipe

NCOC promised to publish examination results of reasons and nature of cracks on the pipeline laid from D Island to Bolashak plant at the end of January or the beginning of February. But as of February 12 it seems that the Consortium received no news from the experts of Cambridge institute of welding (TWI). Sometimes silence can mean that the received news are very unpleasant and time is required to identify what to do next. I mean the need to replace all pipes that would require, probably, several years during which Kashagan will stand idle and Kazakhstan will lose the largest source of revenues for the same period.
