The BP Top Kill procedure which has been believed to be the solution of the destructive oil spill has yet failed. This is a very disappointing news to everyone most especially to BP CEO Tony Hayward. “There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back,” he said.
This failure hasn’t stop the company to look for another solution. In fact, the next move is set to be done in which they referred to be “Lower Marine Riser Package”. BP Managing Director Robert Dudley has elaborated the procedure to CNN just recently. The process will involve cutting the riser package to create a clean surface to cap, Dudley said, and warm water will be circulated around the cap to prevent the freezing that hindered a previous dome-cap effort.
The procedure will then allow to collect the oil and give way to the relief well which will be placed in August. “If we can contain the flow of the well between now and August and keep it out of the ocean, that’s also a good outcome as well,” Dudley said. “And then, if we can shut it off completely with a relief well, that’s not a bad outcome compared to where we are today.” he added.
