Late Friday BP (NYSE:BP) received approval to remove the drill pipe and other items from the damaged wellhead of the oil well, preparing to replace the blowout preventer valve with a new one, in preparation of the bottom kill pushed back to September.
Thad Allen, the government representative over the oil spill response, gave the okay after a pressure test was successfully conducted which confirmed there would be no oil leak while the drill pipe was being removed.
The blowout preventer, which presumably failed, is at issue, and the drill pipe may be held by it. The preventer is a must to be recovered to determine the cause and further liability for the Gulf oil spill.
BP also had to submit by Sunday their plan for removing the blowout preventer without damaging it, so there are no uncertainties when the damage happened to it and why.
