Tests on the ruptured BP well in the Gulf of Mexico will go on for another24 hours as federal and company officials try to explain "anomalous" pressure readings and possible leaks, the federal government's point man on the spill said Monday."There is no indication at this time this is any indication of a significant problem in the well bore, but we are running every one of these anomalies down, " former Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen told reporters Monday afternoon.
The pressures recorded on the well in the four days since it was temporarily "shut in" are lower than expected, Allen said.
