Do you know whether there are plans to use the relief wells’ rigs to pierce the reservoir after they plug the runaway well? Would they pull back and then drill straight ahead instead of turning to the side? It seems that after all the expense, salvaging two producing wells would be a good thing.

Because of that the government probably won’t allow it. They will say the drilling ban applies there, too. Then the rigs would take of for parts unknown, perhaps drilling somewhere else in the Gulf for China or Cuba.

The story is that these wells are not built to produce. Only built as relief wells. It might have to do with the way they are drilled....It might be a lie.
