Henry, understand, I as a father of three with a wife came to the conclusion that if we were living in the gulf region that we would be packing our things right now and leaving. With that decision it seemed imperative that I at least let other people, who might be in this region or know of somebody in this region, know of what I believe are significant risks at this particular juncture of this attempted pressure containment.I think this youtube video describes the situation most accurately:BP engineers were hoping to achieve gas pressures as high as 10,000 psi, and they were hoping for a sustained pressure of around 8,000 psi. The fact that they only got upwards of 6,700 psi indicates that they have leaks, which is not good news as you know this means that oil is working its way between the steel case and the sedimentary layers.A major point to keep in mind is the huge percentage of methane gas: I have read upwards of 30% of the discharge is methane gas. This gas will gradually seep between various levels of strata leading to a rise in the sea floor. Here is part of a July 16th article from the LA Times Greenspace:

"We're at the point where there's enough uncertainty ... we need to be careful not to do any harm," said Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard admiral who is overseeing the spill response.



After consulting with scientists Friday afternoon, Allen told BP to take more seismic soundings of the seabed and expand its monitoring of the seafloor. A federal ship with the ability to detect methane bubbles in the water - signaling a leak - was also called into action. end times article

I think it is noteworthy that they are requesting a ship to look for gas bubbles; it must be a large area that they need to monitor.
