This was not a drilling rig, there's no well here to leak.There is a well. Production Platforms bring up the oil from wells that have already been drilled. Drilling Rigs drill the wells and then are moved away to make room for a Production Platform. So there is a well that could leak. I don't believe this is a deep water well, if that is the case it should not be difficult to shut down any leak that is going on. |
