works fine on the board but, several things could go wrong. For example what would happen cement hardened before it reached its target
Here is my song Black Gold which is about the oil spill and how it’s all of our jobs to make it better.Go to myspace/coteybowman I hope you all enjoy!
The static kill animation shows cement being injected into the area where the relief well intercept is planned. This seems to contradict the second part of the relief well intercept (where the interior of the casing is cemented), since the cement would already be placed there from the top. The animation also implies that the relief well operation will encounter reservoir oil/gas, managed with mud, etc. Is there a remote danger of another blowout that could be avoided by the static kill alone?
Good question TheZombieJC. The cement that is used is a special variant of traditional Portland cement (one of the primary ingredients in concrete) that will cure even under water or in the presence of oil under high pressure. It looks like and has a similar consistency as mortar used for laying brick.

The oil leak has already been stopped you imbecile, by next week the static kill operation will be over and the problem will be solved permanently. Sure there has been a lot of oil that has leaked but in the context of the entire gulf it is nothing. The equivalent of 8 olympic swimming pools worth of oil has leaked, of this only 25% is still in the ocean. It is becoming apparent that the potential environmental effect was massively overstated, BP got screwed over by Obama.
cement hardens surrounded by oil and water?
‘
BTW theres a good chance the well would leak and the oil comes spewing back out
you know why they didn’t use the nuke cause they already used it. On another oil spill ever heard of it of course you didn’t thats the point
IM JOKING PLEASE BP DONT SUE ME

thats a lot for that mud to go through…. that pressure is pretty high down there… and yea, they have scientists, but they havent done very well so far.
YOU SUCK BP!
At least they are trying, but they still suck for not using all the resources they could use.
Top Kill: We fill the ocean with garbage killing wildlife and ecosystems
Static Kill: We fill the ocean with garbage more slowly killing wildlife and ecosystems
