Is there equipment problems in the shallower part of the well? is the tie-back string sealed? those are all questions that would have to be answered about whether it was a viable well. i suspect that they're going to kill it from the bottom with the relief well. that's definitely the most viable option. get a bunch of seamen in there, then probably cut that wellhead off and begin doing some -- or bring them up to the service and start doing some analysis. >> they say if all goes well, by the way, that that could be in place -- the kill operations -- by the end of july. does that sound on targe...

Leave it there and prevent the oil from spilling until the ships come back several days later after the seas die down and resume siphoning the oil. but really the permanent solution is going to be plugging the well, that's not going to happen until they drill at least -- finish drilling at least one of the two relief wells that they are working on. bp said today they anticipate finishing that first relief well at the end of this month and then they can begin the process of pumping heavy drilling mud and cement into the well and sealing it up. they say that process could take a matter of days o...
