OpEdNews - Article: BP Blown out well should not be pressure tested. Chris Landau (geologist)

OpEdNews - Article: BP Blown out well should not be pressure tested. Chris Landau (geologist): "Mark Hafle, BP's senior drilling engineer testified to the MMS on May 28, 2010 that the well had lost integrity and that thousands of barrels of mud had been lost down this well during drilling. This meant that the formation integrity had blown out. Reports at the hearings in May also indicated that the LOW positive pressure tests on the day of the blowout on April 20, 2010 had passed but the negative pressure tests had failed, so the well was not properly sealed. This happened within a few hours of the blowout."
