Nearing the end of closing down the Wild Well?

My best guess at the moment is that the Relief Well has already intercepted the wild well and that DD-2 has punched through the casing.

My best guess at the moment is that the Relief Well has already intercepted the wild well and that DD-2 has punched through the casing.

Why?

Helix Producer, which has been on station some two miles away from DD-2 for weeks has spend the night only some 300 feet away from the DD-2. It them moved off from there a few hours ago and is again some two miles away from DD-2.

The only use of Helix Producer is to capture and process oil. If they expected oil in the annulus moving it to the DD-2 for the opening of the annulus is reasonably.

There will be a Thadmiral press-call at 10:00am CDT. Expect some good news.

Also - BP has new feeds on its video wall, though we don't really know what for.

Thanks for the ping. Looks like if the weather permits it will be a done deal within the prescribed time frame.
