BP may drill a new production well in oil spill reservoir.

BP may drill again in the same undersea oil reservoir that spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, a company official said Friday.

"There's lots of oil and gas here," Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles told reporters during a news briefing. "We're going to have to think about what to do with that at some point."

With its runaway well in the Gulf of Mexico finally plugged with cement, BP turned on Friday to a relief well to make sure that the source of the United States' worst environmental disaster is killed for good.

Retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said he had no information on BP's future plans. "I would assume that's a policy related issue related to the management of the lease," Allen told reporters during a news briefing. "Frankly, it hasn't been raised to my level at this point. I'm not sure I can comment on it."

Don't worry I am sure they will do a better job on the "do over".

"There's lots of oil and gas here," You think? No fuckin kidding Suttles. I never would have guessed there is "lots" (quite the scientific definition) of oil in the reservoir which was so large and under so much pressure that when you lost control of the well it dumped 6 million barrels into the Gulf over 100 days. Never would have guessed that.
