Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Just pretty much the same. Oh, and possibly an additional tanker at the top for more oil collection with an additional pipe bring oil up to surface. Hummm.. don't know if this is one of the newly re-configured kind of tankers???

Selenay, thanks for the answers and your continued hard work researching the numbers

Yes, Thank you Seleny!

Yes, I want to be hopeful about this diffferent cap. Ugh, just when I am, a report comes along with info about everthing that could go wrong that might cause more oil (other than when the old cap is off and the new being seated) to spew. Or, things/pipes, etc. under everything exploding more and possibly making the relief wells non-functional when completed.

Touch and go....
