The Oil Well has Stopped Leaking

Okay, so there are still millions of gallons of oil in the Gulf, and the well could start leaking again at any moment.  Even still, it’s exciting that the oil leak has stopped for first time since the April 20 blowout.  The incident is far from over.  If the pressure in the well rises too much, BP will remove the cap and allow the oil to flow freely again.  The only way to truly stop the leak is the relief well BP is building that should be complete in August.
