BP has STOPED the Oil Leak
 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100715/...gulf_oil_spill

lets hope it holds

crisis averted!

so do I:2 cents:

Guess we will see for how long.

i wish i could stop the leak i have coming from my penis :Graucho

The damage is already done... :(

It wont last long.

antibiotics usually clear that right up

hopefully until one of the relief wells successfully plugs it eh.

Ya, so the pressure builds and forces more oil out in the cracks and fissures around the area now.... How are they planning on fixing that?

they have 2 relief wells they are drilling or at least thats the plan

the success of the cap means this is not the case.

the testing over the last few days was to check if the cap caused oil to gush from any fissures. the fact the tests are positive suggest/mean there are no fissure leaks.

Time to short BP stock. It will blow by days end

right but the still need the relief wells.

thus my comment about that earlier eh. :thumbsup

They are testing the pressure now. They won't know if the well is holding for about a day. The earlier tests were just preliminary to get to this point to do the real test.

Can someone explain this to me. Remember the very first video footage released by BP of the leak. The image was of some broken pipe sticking out of the ground. Since then, the picture was of a pipe on top of a huge structure.

Were there two separate leaks because if you search youtube for both videos, those two images are totally different and show different structures.

Does this mean share price will go up do you think?

It was mentioned by Matt Simmons from the start that the oil was leaking in gargantuan proportions 6 miles away and the reason why the amount of oil estimated in the gulf could not have been created by that small pipe alone.

Fucking Hooray!!!!!

if it holds yes

its up 2+ dollars today

as far as i know, the relief wells still need to be drilled..

this is not over yet.. :2 cents:


.

been watching closely.. its stopped for now anyways.. http://www.wkrg.com/gulf_oil_spill/spill_cam/

Fuck BP and their poison.

Yeah, but that dude is a little crazy so I was hoping that someone else could confirm it. But the video images are clearly different so maybe he is right. There could be a secondary leak and BP could easily keep it totally quite.

You "stoped" at the fifth grade -- just breaking your balls:winkwink:

This is what I mean, this image is nothing like the riser they have been working on and have now sealed. Were there two leaks?

actually it was 4th but who's counting

:winkwink:

finally?

Now we can relax

At least it didn't last 9 years like the last major spill in the gulf

yip fucking ee, they created the biggest US environmental catastrophe in history due to criminal negligence, the ceo's need to be imprisoned for life. for a start.

Still worrying about birds? Stop the smoke leak to your body.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

"BP is also resuming work on a relief well that has 30ft left to drill before it hits the original leaking well. Once the wells intersect, mud and cement will be used to permanently deal with the leak. "

Yet another failure

it is still seeping from the ocean floor near the well...

well it's not over yet...

Still some seepage and theres some good analysis here:

Im not sure if this is a good or bad time to get in. $26 maybe, $36.... not sure.

Doesn't anyone think it's odd that with all that oil spewing up everything around it was clean? The water wasn't even murky. James Cameron should get an Academy Award for the performance he's been pulling off since they hired him on as an "expert" in the beginning.

Here we go.... conspiracy theory eat your heart out.

No worries, if it doesn't hold they can try one of their really scientific sounding methods again... junk shot, top hat, pot shot...

Problem with all this is, you cannot have an oil hungry country that complains when extracting oil leads to a major problem. Drilling is dangerous to the environment. If you want oil, live with and then deal with the risks.

Indeed. Video loop anyone?
