Answer 2

Eventually yes. Next week, maybe not.

There has never been a well that could not be eventually capped. This is done in two steps, a) bringing the well under control (no more flow) and b) placing a permanent plug (usually cement) in the hold.

The conventional means of killing an offshore blowout well is with drilling relief wells. Usually one well is drilled, but in this case two wells are being drilled. Completion is estimated to be late July.

BP has tried to actuate the blowout preventers using their ROV's. This failed. The "top kill" is an unconventional means of killing the well, and it is being attempted to reduce the time that the well will be spilling oil. The outcome of this attempt as of today (May 28) is unknown.

There is a several other options being considered if the top kill is a failure. One is to place a second blow out preventer on top of the existing well. The well can be shut off using a valve. It is unconventional, particularly performing this at 5,000 ft.

There can always be technical problems in drilling and completing relief wells, so it could be later than late in July. But, most industry experts agree that eventually the conventional approach will succeed. There's a slight chance that technical problems could delay the completion into August or September.

One reason for the success, is the wellbore will penetrate the same formation as the first well, so the driller will have a much better knowledge of the formation's properties. A second reason to be optimistic is there is a ready supply of materials in the gulf coast for any contingency.

Answer 3

Spill oil in gulf Mexico is the probably the greatest environmental disaster the US has faced, but the true impact on surrounding ecosystems could take months or even years to emerge.

*Gulf of Mexico are closed to fishing, hitting the livelihoods of shrimpers, oyster-catchers and charter boat operators. "Every fish and invertebrate contacting the oil is probably dying.

Answer 4

One problem is the impact on water quality, tourism and sea life. An oil spill has a particularly cruel, fatal effect on marine plant and animal life. Another problem is the attemptto make sure that the particularly disastrous chain of circumstances isn't repeated.

Answer 5

In reverse chronological order:

Taylor Energy wells were stopped at different times. Some continue to spill.

The Barataria Bay oil spill stopped on 2010 August 1.

The BP Deepwater Horizon spill stopped on 2010 July 15, although the spill cleanup continues.

Kab 101 finally stopped on 2007 December 17.

The Mega Borg was a quick spill, leaking all of its contents on 1990 June 8.

The Ixtoc I spill stopped on 1980 March 23.

Answer 6

They are doing the best they can(or so I'm told...). They are collecting donated hair to soak up the oil. Hope it works.
