Wow so it just flows unfettered...but the headlines for the last 3 days?

The cap will STOP the leak.

Since the delay, it tells me the pressure is too low, verifying the well bore is compromised. Not good.

this is the obamites simply trying to get their fingerprints on what looks like the winning play. just like they did before “top kill”.

the only thing transparent about the amateurs is their “cleverness”; you can see right through it.

TRANSLATION: "OH NO...it can't be fixed now...that ruins everything...we haven't milked BP for all we can get, we haven't passed 'cap'n'trade' and we will lose our distraction and over for all the other plastic banana good time rock and roll b.s. we're getting ready to pull off...like voter fraud and suing Arizona."

But late Tuesday night, BP announced that additional analysis of the well testing procedure was needed. The move following a meeting with Energy Secretary Steven Chu and his team of advisers.

A source informed about BP operations told CNN's John King that, "There were some potential complications that might cause a delay -- some bad, some in the better to be safe than sorry category."

One ROV has been bouncing all around the entire BOP area, spotting for Integrity Tests.

So, the testing continues.

I’m beginning to think that BP is more inept that the government - and that says a lot!

The delay came after Energy Secretary Steven Chu and a team of experts said more analysis was needed, National Incident Commander Thad Allen said in a statement last night. The test aims to determine if the Macondo well can be safely shut before BP is ready to plug it permanently with cement. BP said the delay pushed back the schedule for a relief well it’s drilling to plug Macondo by a day or two.

“There are too many cooks in the kitchen,” said David Pursell, an analyst at Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. in Houston and a former petroleum engineer who conducted pressure tests. “Everybody in this process has said the single and best chance of stopping this flow is the relief well, and now they’ve held up the relief well while they’re figuring out protocol.”
