And start to slowly close the choke line and take the pressure readings at that time, as we intended to do. just to let you know what happened, this is the choke line. off of the capping stack. as you know, this comes out of the assembly and goes up. if you've seen the video, this is that big yellow device with the curve pipe that goes up with the oil coming out of it. it connects back to the capping stack down here and there is an ass assembly where this meets together. the entire choke assembly was removed and replaced overnight. they are checking this right now to make sure it is ready to g...
