Sealing of Well Held Too Risky Panel Resists Seal And Quell Oil Spill
A federal panel named by Br. Lee A. DuBridge concludes sealing the offshore well is riskier than continued development. The blowout has spilled over 239000 gallons into the Santa Barbara Channel since January. The report, slated for release with fanfare, was delayed for a Washington news conference. It calls for underwater receptacles, cement applications, shallow drilling, further geological studies, and earthquake risk review under close supervision by the Department.
