Today was this first time in 85 days that the well in the Gulf Coast hasn't spued oil into the ocean. The new cap, weighing 75 tons stopped up the stream of oil, but this might not be the end of the leaking situation. Now BP is going to have to watch the whole area around the well to make sure too much pressure doesn't build and blow out the pipeline under the seafloor, which would be too big of a leak to stop. If there is any signs of high pressure BP will open up the cap to allow oil to flow back into the Gulf again.Guess we need to keep our fingers crossed.
