Tests are currently being done to determine it's stability; the tighter cap appears to have contained all leaks from the top of the pipe, but oil was found to be seeping from the ocean floor, indicating damage to the lower oil pipe. Due to the lack of complete closure from the cap, BP will attempt to plug the well, using heavy mud and concrete.
