Engineers Say Deepwater Horizon Well Could Leak for Years if Not Stopped

I know that’s the plan and I know that’s the depth the relief wells are going. I just hope it works. One relief well was started about 3 weeks after the first. Will we have to wait for #2 to come in?

Will we have to wait for #2 to come in?

Not if the first one is successful. It is my understanding that they only wanted to drill the one relief well but the gov’t insisted on a second so it could be further along in case the first one was a success. I think it took at least two with the IXTOC well back in 1979.

Did the instructions in your 'kit' state to turn the water off first?

Yeah, but the media loves it when bad things happen. Gives them lots of news to cover without having to go out and look for stories.
