You probably don’t realize how unstable that well head is after taking a beating for 90 days. It’s best to work on the relief wells and begin the drilling of other well heads in this oil field to reduce pressure.
There’s a lot of natural seeps on the Gulf floor. Hope they’re not mistaking a natural event for a leak.
What I realize is that the oil that was gushing into the Gulf was free flowing, it is now bottled up and other seepage is taking place, precisely because it is being restricted and the pressure is building up.
Hoses can be attached unlike the previous cap, capturing close to 100% of the oil in a controlled manner and loading it on ships.
