It won't any of them. This is going to take time. It will probably be tomorrow before we know if it is working unless there is a major problem.

OK so they put mud in and we should see it come out of the hole where the oil is coming out????


the cement is mixed into the mud. they will add nitrogen that will solidify the cement at a specific timeframe. this time frame is calculated by the cementer on the rig. for example, he will know at what depth it will solidify by knowing how many pump strokes his pump makes.

Question ... is there any danger to the boats/ships that are pumping this mud in or to other ships nearby for the operation?

Basically, prayers are needed for this mf to stop BUT do I need to include safety of people in these prayers?????

the only danger really would be if one of the cement lines on the rig parts. otherwise, they aren't gonna get any returns back to the rig because of it being an "open hole".
