I would think a drilling platform could be towed into place in days, not months

Depends on where it’s being towed from, and if there’s even one available for use.

re: #435 Bagua

There is an end in sight, but it is two months away with the relief wells.

There is also the top kill attempts that may begin Wednesday, but we should all be prepared for the possibility that the top kill will make the leak far worse.

The ultimate end in sight will be when the reservoir is drained. In this we got lucky that this is a relatively small discovery.

I don’t have a lot of hope for that top kill attempt. It was supposed to already have begun; then delayed ‘til Tuesday; now delayed ‘til Wednesday; and then it’s very iffy as to whether it will even work.

We can always hope that this formation is weakening and will collapse in on itself.
