WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
the new method to be used by BP to (just try to) stop the oil spill (cut the oil riser, near the wellhead's top, and put a valve with a pipe to pump up the oil to surface) has the main goal to "save the BP oil" (like all other, failed, methods used so far) but, this time, if the second part of the attempt (plug the just cutted riser) will FAIL, there will be NO FAST OR EASY WAY to stop the oil spill for at least TWO-THREE MONTHS, since, without the riser, BP can't no longer adopt other, simpler, methods to stop the oil leak!
.
this kind of operation should be accomplished with the wellhead oil valves CLOSED, while, now, BP wants to plug a new oil riser while the oil flows at VERY HIGH PRESSURE, then, this is a thing that has a VERY HIGH probability to FAIL, as explained here:
