Damaged the well. its still inconclusive. no matter what happens, if they cant shut in the well, they are going to go back to containing the oil. they say they can do that quickly. the helix producer, two of the vessels already at the sight. theyve got "discover enterprise" there. its got a cap that can go on top of the new ceiling cap. they have a lot of ways to go. when they get the system up and running, it can capture 20,000 barrels more than what the government thinks is flowing out at the ...
