Testing to precede 'static kill' maneuver in GulfCNN New Orleans, Louisiana August 2,2010
One of two efforts to seal the ruptured BP oil well in the Gulf of Mexico once and for all is set to take place Tuesday, after a crucial test is conducted Monday to determine whether it will work, BP's senior vice president told reporters.
In the "injectivity" test, "base oil" will be pumped into the ruptured well bore to determine if t will go back into the reservoir, Kent Wells said Monday.
