BP is drilling two relief wells. These wells will plug the blown out well from the bottom using a heavy mud, designed to overcome the pressure of oil coming out of the well. It is a reliable method, but takes time. The well should be plugged (no more leaks) in early August. The final step is to pour cement into the blown out well, to create a permanent seal.
