we have a indeterminate omnidirectional threat holding the gulf as risk all the way to florida. since the spill is aggregated into hundreds of thousands of patches of oil it places a premium on dis aggregating our forces to attack it where we can and it changed the complex not only of the threat but the response and we have been adapting in that regard. shepard: we re warned from time to time the well, the replacement well, set to be finished in august, may or may not do the trick. if the pipe itself, the well itself is broken below the floor of gulf, there s a possibility it won t work. is it there a backup plan and if so, what is it? first of all, this is a very precise operation. many of the things being done on the sea bed around the wellhead have never been done at 5,000 feet.
