Top Kill


Top Kill

Top kill was the attempted method used in the Gulf of Mexico BP oil spill to stop the leak. It involves piping a thick mud mixture down into the damaged pipe to jam the machine with dirt. Unfortunately this method failed to stop the leak, but it did help to slow the flow of oil until a cap was finally placed on the line.
