Just saying....but what is the difference between the so-called static kill and the old top kill that failed?
I think what it is, is simple--they want the oil. They don't want to kill the well, they want to capture it.
The reporting on it is still atrocious, a complete joke.

In a way though, it is probably a good thing to remove the oil from that reservoir. The best way to relieve the pressure on a possibly unstable well, is to, well, remove the pressure by removing the oil.
