The BP Oil Spill will be permanetly stopped when the well is capped. Two efforts to permanetly stop the flow are:

  • A) A top kill, using a junk shot, followed by a kill mud
  • B) Drilling relief wells

If the first is successfl, the well could be permanetly shut-in within two weeks, May 24, but if unsuccessful, it might be until late July or later before the relief well is completed.

BP held a hour long press conference on May 10th, in Houston, Texas, where they gave an update of the progress. Please see the related link for more information.
