Gulf Oil Flow Halted But It’s Unclear If It Can Be Sustained
Allen, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” said the next 12 to 18 hours will be “very critical” in the effort to stop the gusher which has sent thousands of barrels of oil into the fragile ecosystem there.
BP Plc Chief Executive Tony Hayward said on the same program that the effort to plug the well was “going pretty well according to plan” and that they have also been pumping rubber and other material into the well, known as the “junk shot.”
Hayward said they planned to begin pumping more mud into the well again later today.
