Feds: Oil, gas leaking from cap on ruptured well (AP)

In this image taken from video provided by BP PLC at 22:19 CDT, the containment stack is shown at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico Sunday, July 18, 2010. BP and the Obama administration offered significantly differing views Sunday on whether the capped Gulf of Mexico oil well will have to be reopened, a contradiction that may be an effort by the oil giant to avoid blame if crude starts spewing again. (AP Photo/BP PLC) NO SALESAP – Oil and gas are leaking from the cap on BP’s ruptured oil well, but federal officials intend to leave the cork in place for now.

Feds: Test results from well not as good as hoped (AP)

Workers discuss the berm system on the northern end of the Chandeleur Islands, La., Thursday, July 15, 2010. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal visited the site and said the berm system was working to keep oil off the islands. Oil from the wellhead has been stopped and no more oil is currently leaking into the Gulf. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)AP – Pressure readings have been less than ideal from the new cap shutting oil into BP’s busted well, but the crude will remain locked in while engineers look for evidence of whether there is an undiscovered leak, the federal pointman for the disaster said Friday.

BP is encouraged by early results from Gulf well (AP)

This combo made from images taken from video provided by BP PLC shows oil flowing from two of three valves on the new 75-ton cap atop the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico at 17:04 CDT Wednesday, July 14, 2010, left, and the top of the cap at 17:56 CDT on Thursday, July 15, minutes after the flow of oil was choked off. BP vice president Kent Wells said the oil stopped flowing into the water at 14:25 CDT after engineers gradually dialed back the amount of crude escaping through the last of three vents in the cap, an 18-foot-high metal stack of pipes and valves.(AP Photo/BP PLC) NO SALESAP – BP was encouraged early Friday by results from an experimental cap shutting in oil from its busted Gulf of Mexico well, saying everything was holding steady 17 hours into the effort.

BP finally stops oil spewing from Gulf gusher (AP)

This image taken from video provided by BP PLC at 15:57 CDT, shows that oil has stopped flowing  from the new 75-ton cap atop the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico Thursday, July 15, 2010. BP finally choked off the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday — 85 days and up to 184 million gallons after the crisis unfolded — then began a tense 48 hours of watching to see whether the capped-off well would hold or blow a new leak. Engineers will monitor pressure gauges and watch for signs of leaks elsewhere in the well. (AP Photo/BP PLC) NO SALESAP – The oil has stopped. For now. After 85 days and up to 184 million gallons, BP finally gained control over one of America’s biggest environmental catastrophes Thursday by placing a carefully fitted cap over a runaway geyser that has been gushing crude into the Gulf of Mexico since early spring.
