BP’s Containment Cap May Be Damaging Well Head While Preventing Oil Leakage

BP's Containment Cap Holding Steady But May Be Seaping Oil From the Well Head

BP’s Containment Cap

is holding back pressure laden oil from leaking profusely into the Gulf of Mexico. The problem is the containment cap is so heavy it could impact further damage upon the well head.

Retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen

Thad Allen is forcing BP to keep a careful eye on the containment cap for any more damage. This is a good thing. However, the well head could buckle under the containment caps pressure and cause a oil catastrophe even bigger then the one we have now.

What is troubling is that everyone from President Obama to BP to retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen are all aware of this and sometimes have differing views on how to handle the situation. This does not give confidence to Gulf Coast residents nor the rest of the world. Comments on a second leak close by later. What more?

BP Containment Cap Blocks Oil & Is Being Monitored For Leakage

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.

BP Containment Cap Fits-Pressure Readings From Oil Force Must Comply

BP Containment Cap Successfully Covers Oil Leak-Pressure Must Stabilize

BP has successfully lowered the containment cap over the gushing oil leak. However, pressure from the oil being a mile under water is enormous.

BP and the world is hoping the valves work properly. The next 24 to 48 hours are crucial in determining the success of the containment cap.
