Fantastic! Let’s hope this action seals that monster for good.

So are they planning to seal it off and call it done, or are they going to harvest the oil?

It will be interesting to see how people try to milk this once the well is shut, and the damage is much less than expected.

If anything; it really shows how safe drilling is. We have had the black swan event, most catastrophic event happen; and things overall things seem to be ok.

Of course some pockets have been hit hard, and some individuals have suffered greatly.

Dang, I was hoping they’d nuke it. Oh well.

As you know we are in the process right now of laying the final casing run for the relief well...

Amazing that the Coast Guard has the technical expertize to undertake a complicated procedure like this.

BTTT.

We've taken a look at putting the mud in very slowly so if there is a rise in pressure, we would expect there is some, that we could monitor that very, very closely. And we've established 8,000 PSI as the upper limit for pressure inside the capping stack as we put the mud into it. So we'll be monitoring that.

So they plan to increase internal pressure by 1,000 PSI on a stack assembly that is leaking in numerous seals. Gonna be interesting to say the least.
