hurricane. bob, good evening. good evening, keith. at this time yesterday we were talking about bp shutting down the valves at intervals of six hours. do we know why they moved so quickly to close off the valves? i was really surprised by that myself. i figured they would start closing things in today but they got the well completely shut in. i m pretty well convinced now they re going to watch the pressure at six-hour intervals rather than try to close it down at six-hour intervals. what are the signs you re looking for to see if this test, as unexpected as it might seem, will be successful? what are you looking for to indicate there might be bigger problems with the well? the real challenge is looking at the r.o.v. feeds. you really can t see much unless there s a physical leak in the old blowout preventer. i really wish that bp would provide the data feed of the pressures in the well itself so we could watch it. what they re looking for is a steady pressure build to a fair
