BP Oil Spill Live Feeds: BP “pleased” with the Recapping Procedure on Well

Sunday BP Company says that they are “pleased” on how the operation to replace the cap on its ruptured undersea well is proceeding. They have high hopes that the containment cap will stop oil from gushing into the Gulf, but even though the recapping was going smoothly as they say still oil are still flowing outside the well.

BP’s Senior Vice President Kent Wells verbalized that “the procedure in recapping the well will take four to seven days, the recapping continued to progress Sunday as crews worked to position a transition spool over the gushing well to prepare for the new connection”, “We’re pleased with how it’s going”. The Robots undersea have removed six giant bolts from the apparatus early Sunday so that the new cap could be positioned. If the recapping of the well is successful the effects of the containment cap operation could halt.

Officials said that the new containment cap would be a temporary fix, and that the only solution is to the completion of a relief well, as of now there are two relief wells under construction. BP’s Senior Vice President Kent Wells says that one of the relief wells could intercept the ruptured well as early as the end of July.
