US: BP could get final go-ahead to kill well by Tuesday
None
BP Plc will get the go-ahead to finish a relief well to finally seal its blown-out oil well but is doing a last batch of testing and planning first, the top government official overseeing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill said Saturday.
The final go-ahead could come by Tuesday, and it could take another 96 hours or four days to intercept the bottom of the damaged Macondo well and begin cementing it, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen told a teleconference. (Reuters)
