<<Experts said it was conceivable that the “kill” procedure would not be effective, particularly if only a single relief well was used and the bottom of the well bore was damaged in the initial blowout. Pumping large quantities of erosive mud into the well could even end up damaging the well further, hindering later efforts to seal it.>> This is the heart and core Matthew Simmons argument.
i give Simmons at least a 50% chance he is right.

i know enough about "blow-out" power to see Simmons point: that being BP and Government have LIED via silence, by NOT addressing this was as powerful a blow-out explosion you can get, and they just dodge that subject----Simmons says the force was so great the well bore had to have critical damage.

The mocking of Simmons as being a Lunatic, is utterly ASSININE, he is simply stating a valid deduction from the massive power of this blow-out---and does so from decades of experience with wells, world wide, he is a walking encyclopedia of "Blow-out" history.
i view the mocking of Simmons another sign of the DUMBIMG of America.
i say he has a 50/50 chance of being right, as his argument has a SOLID RATIONAL basis---and those screaming vicious attacks on him are damned fools---i write this as i have been reading the VICIOUS MEAN CRUEL attacks on Simmons elsewhere and have realized they are the one's that are INSANE.

What is ahead on this matter is a MAJOR CRITICAL and it is NO time to get into "It is in the bag, the relief well WILL absolutely succeed." , this is what i call massive tons of Diazepam Speak.

Push Push Push that as certainty on to the puiblic means a failure will BLOW-UP in their faces, for sure.Max
