For every new and existing underwater oil well drilled, I propose

[Duer 157099]

that they drill 90% of a 2nd well that would serve as a relief valve in the event something like Deepwater Horizon happens. Then, when you need to get that relief well drilled, it's already 90% of the way done.

Sure it adds cost up front but SO WHAT?

1. That;'s not a new proposal.

2. Oh. Good to hear. So why don't they do it? n/t

3. I don't know, I think they often do in many cases.

I don't know any of the policies, or if they're across the board policies that don't apply to different sorts of wells.

This BP well was an exploratory well, was it not? That they were trying to cap?
