BP hopes to keep using its giant cap to block oil from reaching the Gulf of Mexico until they plug the blown out well permanently, the company said on Sunday. "No one associated with this whole activity... wants to see any more oil flow into the Gulf of Mexico," AP quoted BP's Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles as saying. "Right now we don't have a target to return the well to flow." Pressure in the well cap continues to rise, and scientists are still monitoring for any signs of a leak, but the news still seems to be good, Suttles said. The oil giant is hoping to keep evaluating even after the extended monitoring period it was given by the government, which expires Sunday afternoon. "We're not seeing any problems at this point with the shut-in," Suttles said at a Sunday morning briefing.
