the new flange was bolted on, the cap is just sitting on top


Actually the new flange has a connector on the end which mates up with the connector on the capping stack. Its not just sitting on top. The connector is rated for max SITP of the well.

In other words, the capping stack is not going anywhere.

correct me if i am wrong but if the well formation holds up during the test and they are able to shut it off none of the containment cap will be used?
