oil leak

heres my question (s)..there must be many (or at least) some other wells that are similar in depth and flow rate to the well that is leaking (gushing). Does anyone else think that all those wells should be shut down immediately (I dont care of we have to pay $6/gal for gas or ration) until we learn how to control the worst case scenario? What if another accident happened? Shouldnt that be standard procedure anyway?

 

i know this isnt really town talk. sorry

Doesn't matter if it's not "really" town talk -- it's a really important question. I don't know how many wells are out there with similar issues, but I agree, there must be some. One thing I keep hearing is that BP knew there were issues with that particular well and they just kept plugging along with it anyway, when probably it should have been shut down and repaired. Regardless, I'm with you -- there needs to be a plan in place for situations like this!!! It's shocking to me that there's no way to quickly and efficiently stop the oil gushing -- seems to me it should be an absolute priority to have a way to manage the oil flow when disaster strikes...
