Thanks AGAIN for the info. I had heard concerns of the wreckage of the platform sitting on the well head and hampering access for capping, etc. That does not seem to be the case though?

No, the rig came down away from it.

See this drawing of the locations.

Also I have watched video of the submersible ROVs trying to operate the BOP on the wellhead. It did not take an impact.
