They sure dont want to contain the flow, barrels lost could be ??? for years.[/QUOTE]
Kent Wells, a senior vice president for BP, said the company was studying the possibility of a “static kill,” in which heavy mud would be pumped into the recently capped well. Also known as bullheading
Ok… So is the reason that this didn’t work in top kill the fact that they couldn’t pump mud in at a high enough flow rate though the choke and kill lines to overcome the upward flow plus lost flow? But now that they have a larger “pipe”, they can flow mud in at a higher rate? To hopefully overcome any loss zones?
