This seems like a productive well yes… I mean it is pouring millions of gallons into the ocean correct?
So why were they going to shut this thing down?

My understanding is the well was to be shut down as part of the required testing before it goes into production… something called a sheen test. Also once the well is drilled, cemented – they replace the rig that has the drilling equipment with one that has extraction equipment.
I could be wrong… but that’s what I’ve gleaned from what I’ve read about this.
