Talk:Relief well

Hello out there
Hi all -- relief wells are THE one way this is going to be stopped, according to everything I'm seeing. So - I'm wondering how this piece could possibly be a stub nearly six weeks into the blowout of Deepwater Horizons.

I will be focusing on the topic and will bring edits and suggestions as they surface the next couple of days.Dioxinfreak (talk) 04:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Pumped in or out?
According to the reference from BP, a liquid, heavier than oil, is pumped into the well: "A specialized heavy liquid is then pumped into the flowing well to bring it under control" Andreas (T) 17:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

A great source to work with, but I am unqualified to use it
Please see http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/fossil-fuels/how-to-drill-a-relief-well. I am no expert in this field, so I am unqualified to handle adding major stuff from the IEEE Spectrum article into the Wikipedia article. Jesse Viviano (talk) 04:55, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
