[quote:Anonymous Coward 879450:MV8xMDg0NzM0XzE3MjcwMTM3XzQxMkYxOTA1] http://polizeros.com/2010/06/01/everyone-say-the-relief-wells-are-the-magic-bullet/ [b]Everyone says relief wells are the magic bullet[/b] But can they stop the Gulf floor blowout? It’s not nearly as simple as it sounds. And when they did it with the massive underwater Ixtoc I blowout in 1979, [b]it took months longer to complete than originally thought. Plus it was in shallower water.[/b] But relief wells are something that, fortunately, engineers don’t have to do very often. [b]Drilling the relief well also can be fraught with challenges — especially working in deep water on a well that has already had problems with gas bubbles.[/b] “You have to hit something the size of a dinner plate miles into the earth, ” said Richard Charter, a senior policy adviser at the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife, who follows spills around the world. “[b]Even in a shallow-water blowout, the drilling of a relief well can be complicated and problematic.” So, where did the relief-well-will-stop-the-blowout meme start? I’m guessing BP. Who has been consistently wrong about most everything so far.[/b] [/quote]
