the actual act of drilling through the casing is a matter of hours. it's been done accidentally an innumerable number of times throughout history when wells collide.


Head on it would take a matter of hours but aren't they drilling a long window somewhere in the neighborhood of 15'? Jes' askin'.

Knut, they're coming in at a very small angle between the relief well and Macondo. I thought I read somewhere that it was about 5° but I don't recall where I saw that. I don't know what that translates to in terms of vertical depth but 15 feet doesn't sound too far off to me.
