If all goes according to plan, the combination of the cap and the new vessel could collect all the leaking oil by Monday. Work continues on what officials hope will be the ultimate solution: a pair of relief wells intercepting the leaking well far below the seafloor.
Huzzah!
Crossing my fingers that this all goes according to plan. Hopefully we can finally put this whole mess behind us.
some good news? i hope so.

Are we sure that Obama won't block this latest effort in some way? I mean, there has to be tons of impact studies done first right?

Last I heard he wouldn't have the time, the relief well is ahead of schedule by if memory serves correctly a very large margin. This thing is done if it works and last night they were about 200ft off the wellhead. I didn't realize this was the major fix though, I thought it was only phase 1.Are we sure that Obama won't block this latest effort in some way?

you must be hoping for failure.

I wouldn't put it past him to order the CG to halt the drilling of that until he gives the word.

Now why would I do that? I am only highlighting that it may not be quite the right time to let an end come to this thing yet. Not enough damage, or a big enough crisis to make good use of in destroying American energy.
I mean to say, he couldn't have planned it better to destroy the coastline, demonize oil, and make an entire region dependent on the government.
Whether it is incompetence, or willing destruction, or a combination of both, he has failed in a big way already. Now all we are left with is the double talk, and the lies.

well, good thing nobody is relying on your powers of perception.

Obama has loved every minute of this. Tailor made for his agenda, just like the unemployment figures.
He's hell-bent on destroying the country in its current state, and building it back as a nation of of dependent citizen looking to the government for everything.
Right out of Saul Alinsky's handbook.
interesting how you people hear some potentially great news and turn into an obama hate fest. you must be quite unhappy.

Even if the drills can reach the casing and pump in mud, that doesn't mean that it will clog the flow. It didn't work when they pumped mud into the BOP two months ago, remember?
The fact that they had to reduce the gas pressure from the 8 inch casing to the 21 inch riser, ten times less, means that the well pressure is unusually high, especially since the cap failed to slow the flow down.
The whole thing is a farce you know. They can pull the old BOP anytime they want and replace it with another.
