I hope this is true, but the live feed says it’s not. Still a lot of stuff ejecting from the BOP.


The well hasn’t been plugged so there will be ejections coming from it as long as they are pumping mud/fluids down hole. The top side still has holes and hasn’t been sealed. If what they are saying is true then they have in effect stopped the oil coming up with greater pressue from the fluids they are injecting from the top.

Perhaps my expectations were wrong then. I was looking for the ejection to stop when the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid exceeded the well pressure. At any rate, let's hope they get a nice big concrete cork in that puppy today!
