"Top kill" bid on Gulf well still ongoing -admiral
VENICE, La. |
VENICE, La. May 27 (Reuters) - BP (BP.L)'s "top kill" operation to try to plug its leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well is still ongoing, U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said on Thursday.
"They're still pumping mud into the wellbore and they're still monitoring it ... it is ongoing," Allen, who is leading the oil spill response operation, told reporters in Venice, Louisiana.
When asked if the operation could be considered a success, he avoided characterizing it at this point and stressed it was still underway. (Reporting by Ed Stoddard)
