Oil Gusher Reportedly Stopped

Cable news resources including CNN are reporting that there is no oil flowing into the Gulf. The pressure gauge we have been watching all day appears to be indicating that the well has been capped. BP stock closed up about 7 percent.

For the first time in months, great news, indeed.

Florida Oil Spill.

Oil Blow Out Preventer Pressure Gauge

Florida Oil Spill .com has been monitoring operations this morning and notes a visible pressure gauge on the new device placed atop the old Blow Out Preventer BOP. We wondered for weeks how they were monitoring the oil pressures of tens of thousands of pounds per square inch. 

This morning on the PBS Live Feed, we found what appears to be an oil  pressure measuring device. The photo is below. It appears to read between 25,000 and 30,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
