The relief well has been the most likely method to succeed from the start.

About the only thing different I would like to see would be at least 2 more relief wells being drilled. I think the magnitude of the situation demands that. Things don't always go as planned and 4 relief wells greatly increase the odds of success. At worse you would have at least 2 or 3 wells to produce the zone and help pay for damages.

Everyone likes to hedge their bets, but there is only so much Gulf to be running supply boats around in, especially with the undersea collection operation going on. Too many surface vessels in too little space and you would need an ATC to direct traffic. There are two relief wells drilling now, and that’s more than most operations.
