Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill: Well Integrity Test Shows Oil Stopped

BP recently caused damage because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico around April. The problem as a whole is affecting BP’s reputation, just like Greenland does not want any of BP’s establishments to prevent oil spills or any other problem. However, well-suited solving problems have arisen. BP developed a new containment cap, which successfully contained the leak preventing oil spill.

A test was conducted to check the cap. The hypothesis were that the chances for oil to spill before the test was over, were high. While the testing process was taking effect, engineers were recording minute by minute data to check the pressure, if the pressure lowered the oil was going to probably leak. The test was delayed. “Government officials requested a delay for analysis, out of fears that the cap could damage the leaking well further and do more harm than good.”
