I have been away for a while and have missed a lot of news. I have been wondering...no, I'm violently curious. What has happened about the two auxilliary pipelines that BP was drilling to release the pressure on the failed BOP that caused the gusher in the Gulf of Mexico? What has BO decided about offshore drilling? Is it on again or off again? If it's on again is BP still continuing with the two pipelines to exploit any further profits that can be gained from the site? Maybe the site has been tapped out, drained dry, or the locals have told them to get out of there. I don't know. I see that BP is now trying to spread the blame for the disaster to Haliburton and TransOcean, perhaps rightly so, or could this be a ruse to complete their pipelines in that area, since it proved to be such a bountiful source of oil.

Americans have quit drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Mexicon oil companies and Communist Chinkernese companies HAVE NOT.
__________________________________________________________ Thanks for the info, but what happened to the two BP pipelines. Were they ever completed? Could the Chinese take them over?

I have to plead complete ignorance about that, others here have kept on top of that aspect of the disaster.
__________________________________________________________ I have to plead complete ignorance about that, others here have kept on top of that aspect of the disaster. Same here. The details of the 2 relief wells has been lost in the news that the well has pretty much been killed. I think they basically managed to kill it from the top without the wells though. I think the latest word was that they are to play a part in final killing, but no idea if they've actually made contact. BTW, the purpose of the relief wells was not to relieve pressure, but, I think, to inject heavy mud at a sufficiently low depth which would essentially amount to a liquid cork for the well, thus stopping the flow.
That's my understanding as well.
