BP Eyes Cap to Contain Gulf Oil by Monday
BP plans to fit a new cap called Top Hat Number 10 to the leaking well and connect the Helix Producer containment ship. Officials say the cap could capture up to 3.4 million gallons daily, potentially containing most of the oil within days, though a brief 48 hour period of continued flow is possible during installation. Weather conditions are favorable for both the cap work and ship hookup over the next seven to ten days.
