An interesting fact that I read today about the relief well – the point isn’t really to lower the oil pressure by providing another route for the flow of oil. They will actually attempt to collapse or close the original well’s casing as they drill the new one. Below, video from Al Jazeera describing the efforts to contain the spill.
