@energyxprt Did you expect BP to abandon the Macondo prospect that they know contains large deposits of oil and gas? The reservoir can be safely tapped and produced, if proper safety procedures are followed.

Surprisingly BP will likely use both of the relief wells as production wells after the MC252 well is controlled.

@EPhantom125 You don't understand how it works.

They will inject heavy drilling mud from the relief wells into the blowing well. That mud will travel up the column building a plug that is much heavier than the pressure of the oil blowing out. At that point equilibrium will be achieved and the oil will stop.

When that happens they will begin to inject cement into the blowing well from the relief well bore to kill it permanently. This procedure depends that the casing has not been breached.

Note, once the walls of the pipe are breached from the "relief wells", either the oil will blast into the relief wells, or they will start sucking the air out of the relief wells just as an atomizer works.

In either situation, cement would not work. in the first, you wouldn't be able to get the cement down the pipe, in the second,the cement would be drawn in and forced up the well with the oil and into the sea before it dries.

Yea and after the plug it up they will drill in the same area and start making record profits again. Amazing that this company isn't going to be shut down from all this. Oh that's right they are in the "too big to fail club".

Ha ha..what a joke.

@deltaxcd I believe they tried that already.

@tdoze1 There's mud in back of the relief well drills. The weight of the mud will counteract the pressure from the leaking well. Also, by attacking it from the side, perpendicular to the flow, the pressure is greatly reduced, thereby allowing the injection of the cement to counteract the 12,000 psi pressure of the leaking well.

@foxwright yes,11 people i believe

[grzegorzgawrys]

they cant stop it by using three times bigger diametra drill go thrue sme hole

[grzegorzgawrys]

all they have to do is hit the target . than put somthing realy havy on recent hole . but remember erosion with such huge presure is making hole biger everyday ..so hury up
