VENICE, LA– BP Chief of Operations Doug Suttles just announced at a joint press conference with the U.S. Coast Guard, and other federal agencies that BP plans to “permanently plug” the busted well that has been gushing un-stopped into the Gulf of Mexico for nearly a month. Suttles said it was the “right thing” to do.
” There is absolutely no intent to ever, ever, produce this well. We intend to fill up the bottom portion of this well with cement, ” Suttles told reporters in Robert, LA.” It will never be produced.”
