BP to resume oil spill work as storm eases
None
BP Plc moved ships and workers back to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill site as a storm eased on Saturday, and it could begin pumping mud into the blown-out well to try to plug the leak within three days.
As Tropical Depression Bonnie weakened in the Gulf, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, head of the US spill response, said the launch of a "static kill" operation to plug the well by pumping in heavy drilling mud and possibly cement could start in three to five days. (Reuters)
