Throughout the extended top kill procedure – which may take up to two days to complete - very significant changes in the appearance of the flows at the seabed may be expected. These will not provide a reliable indicator of the overall progress, or success or failure, of the top kill operation as a whole. BP will report on the progress of the operation as appropriate and on its outcome when complete.

Media coverage of the “top kill” on the ruptured oil well in the Gulf Of Mexico over the past 48 hours has been, to put it kindly, bewildering. Without access to the site, journalists have had to depend on their sources — primarily BP and U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen — and those sources were either inaccessible for long stretches of the day, issued oblique statements, or just lied. This morning’s lead story in the New York Times summed up Thursday’s coverage. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early in the day that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping the night before when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil. The confusion started Thursday morning at 7 when the Los Angeles Times website (in a story taken down from the site that night) “‘Top kill’ stops gulf oil leak, official says.” Engineers have stopped the flow of oil and gas into the Gulf of Mexico from a ...

More restrictions are announced on deep-water drilling as BP officials say the 'top kill' effort is going as planned. A new spill estimate indicates that the BP leak is more than twice the size of Exxon Valdez.  A image taken from a BP live video feed shows activity during the "top kill" procedure, which is being used to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. ( Reuters / May 27 , 2010 )  Reporting from Louisiana and Los Angeles — As BP continued its effort to gain control of its untamed deep-sea well, President Obama announced more restrictions on offshore oil drilling Thursday and insisted his administration is firmly in charge of the response to the spill, now believed to be the largest in U.S. history. Batting away suggestions that the federal response has been lackluster and that BP executives have been calling some of the shots, Obama insisted that "BP is operating at our direction." "Ev...

The general consensus on the BP Oil Spill “Top Kill” update for today, May 27th 2010 is “So far, so good. ”  Yesterday , BP began pumping thousands of gallons of heavy mud in an impracticable and head in an attempt to stop the leakage. As of this morning the mud mixture stopped the oil and gas, electricity, and engineers were preparing to further plug the hole with rubber debris, after which they plan to cap the well with cement. Fewer than 19,000 barrels of oil have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico each day. The spill is now higher than the extent of the damage caused by the Exxon Valdez spill, making it the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The Christian Science Monitor reports that “The environmental and economic impacts of the spill remains untold, the legal issues resolved years, and the leakage effect on long-term energy independence uncertain.” “Top Kill,” in other words, is only the beginning of a long series of events resulting from this spill. title =” live video-fe...
