Contrary to widespread reports that the oil gusher has been stopped, the live feed below from ROV 2’s BSkandi camera shows that it is still gushing out of the pipe which has been connected to the new containment cap:
BSkandi – ROV 2 (456854) bkup=45684 |
It is still very encouraging that the cap seems to be working so far, and – if the system of pipes, cap and well can handle the pressure – BP should be able to connect the pipe all the way up to the collection vessel at the surface.
Updates as they arise …
Note: BP just switched the camera around, so you can no longer see oil gushing out of the pipe. I’m not sure when they’ll swivel back so we can see…
