that point in the oil sboorks the reservoir, where they re able to punch into the main well line and put in a combination of both mud and cement and actually kill the well off all together. but that s not something that s going to happen over might. the bottom kill may be put in place possibly later this month, maybe longer than that, guys. reynolds, i know you re going to be covering weather for us this morning as well. but out there, is weather cooperating? do they have a nice window right now to do this work without issues of weather? reporter: to get through the first steps they have to have perfect weather. for folks on land it s not going to be perfect, or great for people who like to work under the beating sun. but in terms of the oeg conditions, it s going to be pristine, picture perfect. if n. that situation, we re getting a hand of luck. that s something that s welcome. no question about it, guys. appreciate you. we will talk with you plenty throughout the morning. so
