Thanks. I read the article. Looks as if they will be able to within a week pick up the tempo to where it was prior to storm intervening. And the top kill process looks more and more like a reality as you had suggested should be done, last week.
Now. Will the gov give BP the blessing to go for the top kill this time around with little interference. They know the choke and kill lines can hack 8Kpsi plus so there should be little problem doing a top kill at present.

Yep, looks like prep for the Top Kill now. But we do have Clathrate ejections now in the ground near the BOP, so it is already a little late. Pushing the oil stack down a few miles, will push out oil product through the damaged casing. So ejections from the sea floor will increase because of that, assuming of course that the casing is damaged.
