BP Oil Spill Live Feed Updates – BP confirmed that they have successfully completed their Top Hat procedure and the LMRP is now working properly and as planned, the LMRP have already extracted and contained a total of 16,600 barrels of oil.

Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) cap containment system is an expensive procedure which would still not assure 100% success. The aim of this LMRP is not to stop the leak but to contain the oil that is leaking and decrease the amount of oil spill before the completion of the new tubing “top hat” that would finally seal and eventually stop the oil gusher. They confirmed that the replacement of the tubing would be completed.

Based on the latest statement given by BP, they are continuously working on to collect the oil from the surface of the sea. They have already involved some 1,600 vessels including skimmers, tugs and barges to complete the cleanup operations. Furthermore, BP already agreed as stated in their latest statement to initiate the construction of six section of Louisiana Barrier costing $360 million. They also provided additional $170 million to the affected regions to help in the recovery process.
