BP Containment Cap Holding Oil Back from Further Leakage
The BP Containment Cap
is still holding back the oil after a brief scare of leakage. BP is monitoring the pressure to make sure it stays within a certain high level. If the pressure drops too much this means oil is leaking somewhere and could spell disaster yet again.
BP Engineers
have done a good job with their valves and containment cap a mile deep under the Gulf of Mexico’s surface. This doesn’t excuse the incompetence of BP’s CEO Tony Hayward or the other decision makers who ignored safety measures and turned down competent help for containing the oil – along with President Obama. The problem is still not out of the woods because the BP well bore is damaged.
Deepwater Horizon Explosion
The ruptured pipes from the Deepwater Horizon explosion, Top Kill and other failed fixes have caused much concern about a permanent solution. BP’s relief wells are the next step after the containment cap in finding a positive solution to the oil spill disaster – if the oil holds under the BP containment cap. So far, so good.
