Who ya gonna believe? BO or your own lyin' eyes?
This article ends with a paragraph containing this statement: "If the well casing has come up through the BOP, the relief wells are unlikely to work." At the bottom of the page is a CNBC video - one oil guy says the relief well is a sham and the other says the outlook isn't good for it to work and Obama needs another option.

Hahahahahahaaaa...
We’re being buffaloed by these people and the administration...
When will the media, who have let these bast*rds off the hook, smarten up....?
We’re approaching 100days on this thing.
The plans they have put forth will NOT stop the leak, only capture more of the leaking oil....
The oil will leak from that site for months if not years....
Not good. There has been a lot of knowledgeable talk about eroded and undermined strata due to the failed casing, which appears to be from the lower reaches of the well (ie: small diameter)which would render hopes of a relief well being effective to practically nil.
Problem is, who’s opinion can you trust? Must we sit back helplessly and watch this kabuki unfold? Liars to my right, liars to my left, stuck in the middle with you!
My engineering background is not oil but mechanical/manufacturing, but this whole deal can be summed up in just two words:
CHARLEY FOXTROT
How about running a few thousand lawyers and press agents out of the area and let the damn engineers who actually know something about the deal get to work?
Obama: “pipe? pipe? can I smoke something good with it?”
With "experts" such as these involved is it any wonder that things are screwed up?
Relative to the kill operation this will make it more complex but it can be done. They will have to kill the outside flow around the casing. If the 9-5/8 is still intact down hole the well will then be dead. If it is not intact they will then need to do a second kill operation to stop the flow that would be coming into the 9-5/8.
The kill wells will be drilled into the oil pay zone. They will then breakdown the formation by pumping seawater down hole under many thousands of pounds of pressure. Once good communication is established they will follow with kill mud and then a huge cement job. This will have to be done once if the 9-5/8 is intact. Otherwise it will be done twice, once on the outside and once on the inside.
My BP stock is up 4 points since I bought it. Makes time number 4 that I could have been a multimillionaire of only I’d had the bucks to make the investment: Ford at $4 (now at $11), Bank of America at $7-8, GE at $11.
I wish they would just drill more wells and pump this thing dry.
bttt
