BP has decided to replace the cap from the leaking well, on this weekend. As per reports, the new cap, will have a larger capacity of containing the oil from the sea floor. But the worry here is, during the replacing process, oil will gush out more into the sea.
According to the Coast Guard Officials, BP’s submersibles, would start the process of replacement by removing the current containment cap by the end of this week. Admiral Thad Allen, stated, the flowing oil from the well would be shutoff on Monday, but by that time almost hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil would be flown into the sea.
The Admiral also stated that right the term ‘contained’ can be used, ’stop’ can be said when the BP totally plugs the leaking well and the flow has been stopped permanantly. However BP on the other hand are trying numerous ways to stop the flow of leaking well, they even tried divert the flow by drilling two relief wells near by.
