Does anyone know the status of the operation? It was reported to be about 1000 ft away from its final location before dawn... I know this operation is very difficult and new at these depths, but I would think we would know more about the progress.

I will call you when I'm finished putting on the X spot.
Seriously, I ve been looking for info on this as well. I guess no news is good news at this point. I think they would have said if they made the situation worse.

I'm no expert, but having read about the system used to seal an exploratory well for later production, fault seems to point to Halliburton as the guilty party. My understanding is the methane gas escape that caused the explosions came directly up from the well, indicating a faulty job of sealing it properly - which was Halliburton's gig.
The failure of backup systems to close the well is another matter.
