If there are ten thousand Archis, all posting on Usenet and living in their Mom's basements, get told by Mom to get a JOB and *one* percent of them actually get out of bed and do it, how many are still left posting verbal diarhoe? Answer: NONE...they were all the SAME person. mike

If they fracture the well casing more than it is, when they pump the mud in from the relief well they will have a tuff time filling the well with mud. ( because it will be absorbed or forced into the surrounding rock formation) And they would not be able to stop the flow of oil to pump cement in. Cheers

It was tried in May and didn't work. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0817889720100508 John |
