The prospect of going to university is an exciting time for students to find their voice, develop their niches, live in a new city, and grow as an individual. However,
until engineers finish drilling two relief wells and try to plug that well permanently. reaction this afternoon was cautious. all of us have been watching those horrible images for almost three months now. it s the first time in that time period we haven t seen that image. but i have to stress, we have to manage our expectations. because depending on what the results are could depend on what happens next. i think it is a positive sign. we re still in the testing phase. i ll have more to say about it tomorrow. of particular concern in the next two days, what scientists cannot see beneath the seafloor. whether oil and gas could be seeping through cracks in the wellbore. admiral allen saying tonight once tests are concluded it is likely bp will return to oil capture vessels and to containing the crude. the relief well a number of weeks off, even though engineers only have 37 feet left to drill for one of them to hit home. let s turn to oil and gas industry veteran bob cavnar. who wr
inherently risky, not drilling depth alone. quoting from his memo from monday, performance problems have also been identified in recent weeks with the blowout preventers on the relief wells that bp is drilling. the problems have been uncovered during new testing requirements that were imposed on the relief wells after the bp oil spill, thus providing more evidence that prior testing requirements were inadequate. it is unlikely that these problems are unique to bp. we re joined once again by oil and gas industry veteran bob cavnar who writes about the industry for the huffington post as well as his own website, the daily hurricane. bob, good evening. hi, keith, how are you? a 24-hour delay in testing that s now under way tonight. the testing will be underway tonight at some point, presumably. do you buy the explanations and the entire endeavor? no, i don t, keith. i don t understand this whole operation that they re undergoing right now. sunday was the first time i heard the wor

bob cavnar, who now writes about the industry for huffington post and his own website, the daily hurricane. good evening. good evening, keith. what was your take-away from the news today about the sudden new updated, improved estimate for finishing the relief well? keith, i think there are several things going on here. one, i believed for the last several weeks that mid-july was the time frame they would be ready for the kill, were it not for a storm or some other situation come up. since there hasn t been a storm that s shut them down, they really have made enough progress to do the kill by mid-july. the fact they re pushing their date up finally is one, they re facing the reality they re within a couple hundred feet. since they re being pushed to put a tighter cap on, they want to get that well killed before they have to put the cap on. whatever litigation motives the company might have for not
