I just entered to win an awesome prize!

Of july, that is ahead of target but admiral thad allen thinks first or mid august is when it finally can be cemented shut them. deepest well, now 17,840 feet and according to bps ceo, still 100 feet to go for the point of interception. but it is slow-going here at the final stages because they have to take magnetic readings to tell whether they are flush on the bulls-eye to intercept and bore into the existing well, put the mud down, cement it shut for good. but, of course, once that is done an...

Thursday, when the new pollution from this well stops for good. >> how much longer until the first relief well gets to the point of interception? >> bp is optimistic by the end of july, the end of this month, a week or two ahead of the original schedule, that first the deeper well which right now is at 17,840, it will intercept with the existing well, 24 feet away at this point but slow going at this end of the line because they drill a little, pull that drilling equipment out, drop down the mag...

This is very, very important because it will allow us to manage the hydrocarbons, but the ultimate success of this entire endeavor will be the relief well, and development driller 3 is now at 17,840 feet, and they have been there for a day or two. they are doing testing to make sure they have the right angle of attack as they close in for the last skilkt or 70 feet before they make the penetration for the relief well, and the current estimate of how far away there are from the well at this point...

Relief well, and development driller three is now at 17,840 feet, measured depth, theyve been there for a day or two. they are doing testing to make sure they have the right angle of attack as they close in from the last 60 or 70 feet before they try and make the penetration for the relief well, and the current estimate of how far away they are from the well at this point is 4 feet 4-rbgs inches, so you can imagine this gets pretty precise as theyre trying to go down another 60 or so feet, they ...

Two things that it could mean. number one, that the reservoir, which has been pouring in the gulf for three months, basically maybe lost pressure. or it could mean there is a leak somewhere else in the well. thats something nobody wants to see. for the moment everything is in place and the testing is ongoing. the big finish to this is the kill, the bottom kill at the bottom of the well. thats still scheduled to take place with the relief well. the digging resumes friday as well. took a break to ...

Of it spilling into the gulf but going into the surface ships all of which will happen until finally the ultimate fix bottom kill below the surface. >> where does the relief well drilling stand at this point? >> they actually did pause the drilling while they did the integrity test. drilling has resumed. we got on board by transocean, one of the two ships that is drilling. deepest relief well is about 17,840 feet. according to bp, its 24 feet away from point of interception but its slow going be...
