BP has begun tests to pump mud to push oil back down into its reservoir to permanently plug the leak in the Gulf well, a project called “static kill.” If it fails like “top kill” failed, new CEO Robert Dudley is willing to at least appease the public with operation “Tony Hayward kill.”
The mud-pumping is a logical move. Since the oil spill has become as a big of a political disaster as it is environmental, it was only a matter of time until the mudslinging began.
BP is also calling this an injectivity test, but that’s just to make it sound sexier.
