Please let the new cap on the oil well work thread
No politics, no agenda, and no judgements I just hope it works.

VENICE, La., July 12 (UPI) -- Oil spewed unimpeded from a Gulf of Mexico wrecked wellhead while engineers took steps for a permanent cap on the leaking pipe.

BP, the company that operated the rig at the time of an April 20 explosion that began the spill, said workers using unmanned submersibles removed the cap
that had been limiting the flow of oil. The next step is to install another cap, one that could cut off the flow of oil completely.

Tens of millions of barrels of oil have fouled the gulf since the Deepwater Horizon rig sank in April. Emergency crews have been trying various methods to shut off
the flow, including drilling of relief wells, which are expected to reach the leaking well "the first half of August," BP said in a news release.
