I am not sure why they don't open the valve now that they have a good
cap and produce the oil to the surface. That will take off the
pressure and still be safe/clean. After all that was the point in
drilling the well in the first place.
I think they are pressing their luck trying to top kill this with the
cap. Something that would have been fine at the production pressures
may rupture with it sealed and put us back 2 months.

Probably because everything has to go through government. And the only
way to do that is if it does not make any sense.

Why not get that oil, will go a long way to pay for cleanup. $77 a
barrel...why waste it?
