However, the ultimate solution is drilling relief wells. The first of the two relief wells under construction is expected to be completed in August, yet it is still contingent on the weather.
Though the blown-out well is finally on the verge of being sealed, years of legal wrangles and probes lie ahead, and myriad questions remain about the long-term effects of the massive oil spill on wildlife, the environment and the life of Gulf residents.
