The well pipe has stopped leaking and at only 450 psi pressure
When they installed the fist part onto the pipe it was at 2500 psi and 3000 psi with the top still gushing the pressure should be way higher around 9000psi with the unit shut off
So that leaves 8550 psi pressure going somewhere else?

If we are down around in the 4,000 to 5,000, 6,000 range that could potentially tell us that the hydrocarbons are being diverted someplace else, and we would have to try and assess the implications of that. And as you might imagine, there are gradations as you go up from 4,000 or 5,000 PSI up to 8,000 or 9,000. ... We will at some point try to get to 8,000 or 9,000 and sustain that for some period of time, and these will be done basically, as I said — if we have a very low pressure reading, we will try and need (ph) at least six hours of those readings to try to ensure that that is the reading.

Yes, I too am confused by this. Didn't they say religiously for months that the only permanent solution would be the relief wells, and wasn't there a lot of evidence that the well was damaged underground and that capping it would result in leaks elsewhere?

people, lets be serious here. theyre not going to stop the leak any time soon!!! why would you ever give them the benefit of that doubt???? hmmm??
i am not flagging this thread and i sure as hell am not starring it.
lets just say they capped the leak, how the hell are we going to restore the ocean to its original state if 5,000 species of wildlife are now extinct???? c'mon people get off your fat lazy a#### and influence a godamn revolution before they kill us all!!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong. Finally seeing images of the riser with no oil gushing out is probably the most relief-bringing thing I've seen in ages. This is just perplexing to me based on their previous statements. Can someone elaborate please?
Thanks.

It's simple : They are making it worse. On purpose.

Has anyone noticed the canyon offshore ROV it looks like the sea floor is moving around. May be nothing but sure looks strange to me. It looks a littlt blurry but still able to see things and also see a few globs of oil go by.
