United States government and BP officials are warning that the blown-out deepwater well may not be shut off until August as the company begins preparations on a new but uncertain attempt to contain the leaking crude.
The new plan involves sheering off a section of pipe and attempting to put a stopper over it so the oil can gush to tankers waiting on the surface.
BP is still refusing to bring in supertankers which are equipped to suck in oil/water and separate the two. Instead the supertankers are being used to ship oil from other oil rigs so the company can maintain a profit.
