A Slow Motion Nightmare in the Gulf of Mexico.
But does it still smell so sweet?
Apparently relief wells are the only proven method for stopping underwater oil gushers.
And they take 3 to 10 months to complete.
But I am sure that within the next 24-48 hours BP will have thought of some other distraction to occupy the press. And that will give them 24-48 hours to come up with the next distraction.
Maybe one of these long shot maneuvers will work. But I find it interesting that Canada requires off-shore drilling to include the simultaneous drilling of a relief well, because relief wells are the only proven method for stopping underwater oil gushers.
