The primary well bores 2 miles into the rock. Then a tube is inserted and
cemented in place near the top. The relief well is angled into the primary
well below the tube, forming a Y junction. In all other respects it is a
clone of the primary well.

Here's an in-depth, highly detailed video of the current, on-going
sealing cap procedure . . .

The monster equipment being lowered down looks like something out of
Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey.

============================================
Thanks. I'm not in awe, gazing agog, though, I've worked in heavy
industry (ship building) as well as light. There were some idiots asking
how the relief well would find the primary well underground and I
didn't have the diagrams to show it. Your first URL did it rather well.

It was ok but I could do without hearing how great they are and what a
wonderful team they have and how they are all working so hard.

Skip forward to the technical bit at around 3min 30sec.
