BP Hopeful Well Can Stay Closed
BP hopes to leave its well in the Gulf of Mexico closed down until it is permanently plugged when relief wells are drilled. A cap successfully installed last Thursday brought an end to 86 straight days of oil spewing from the damaged well. It was initially seem as a stopgap measure, but little to no oil has leaked into the gulf since the cap was put in place.
