taking the oil that s coming to the surface to the southeast of the well site. we re getting a little break in the action as far as oil closing ashore, allowing us to marshall our sources and assess where the boom might have been blown ashore with the recent heavy weather we had and given us a chance to consolidate our forces and redouble our efforts on shore cleanup. i ll be glad to answers questions you may have. ed lavandera with cnn. question about the early on process. were you able to at least get any kind of pressure readings, any kind of indication as to how that might go or would that not begin until the test begins? we had pressure readings when we closed the manifold but oil is still exiting through the drill choke. we started to crank it down when we saw the leak so we won t get
our forces and assess where the boom might have been blown ashore with the recent heavy weather that we had. and it s given us a chance to consolidate our forces and make sure we can redouble our efforts on shore cleanup. with that, i will be glad to answer any questions you may have. ed lavin deendera with cnn. early on in this process, were you able to get any kind of pressure readings or any indications of how that might go or will that not begin until the integrity tests begins? when we close the manifold and the oil was still exiting through the drill choke, is what they call that. we had just started to crank it down when we saw the leak. so, we won t get real pressure readings until we close the choke valve. one last question, apologize if you answered this before. but could this integrity test cause any, you mentioned the
have blown to shore with the recent heavy weather we had, it s given us a chance to consolidate our force, make sure we can redouble our efforts on shore cleanup. with that i ll be able to answer any questions you may have. a question about the early on in this process, were you able to at least get any kind of pressure readings, any kind of indication as to how that might go or would that not even begin until the integrity test begins? well, we had initial pressure readings when we closed the man followed and closed the kill line but they really weren t pressure readings, because oil was still exiting through the drill choke is what they call that. we had just started to crank it down when we saw the leak, so we won t really get valid pressure readings until we close that choke valve and hopefully that happens later today. apologize if you ve answered this before but could this integrity test cause any kind of you mentioned the damage to the well bore all the way down.
