Ok, so this big "funnel" sits on top of the well. Say it is successful and moves a lot of the oil to the surface to be barged off.

What happens then? Just keep "producing" the well this way forever? Can't "take the lid off" once it's put on or the spill will resume. Right?

I guess the hope would be that the relief well would stem the flow, then they could take the lid off and recover the BOP, etc.
