The concern is a subsea formation fracture which could have already happened for all we know.


Kind of off topic...but what if a fracture has taken place below where the relief well will enter the casing? Will they still be able to cement it in?

could be wrong, but i doubt a fracture at that depth is of any concern. oil would still have to finagle its way through 18,000' of soil/rock to reach the surface.
