Dislikedits a blowout. its being pumped by natural pressure. they are talking about drilling a relief well on the side of the last one. this well is many miles deep....Ignored
We talked about this last week a little right after it hit the news...i had a feeling this was going to be bad man. i'd heard of those horizon rigs(huge $$ like 700 million a pop I think) so I figured this thing was pumping some oil, the shitty thing is I think they had just actually busted through the bottom when the explosion happened..when it hits shore, it gets real bad obviously.
We all just gotta pray somehow they get lucky with that robot and cap this thing. As gator says, relief well takes at least 2-3 months(2 is FLYING with zero issues). This DOES NOT guarantee anything as far as slowing this one down but it's the next best step so it's what they'll do...whether it works or not.
