I think they need to be drilling more relief wells...they can't afford to miss.

This process is quite accurate. More than 20 years ago a single relief well was used to kill a North Sea blowout at a depth of 3 miles, and the technology is only better now.

The likelihood of failure apparently is quite small on this.
