BP's submersible robots are preparing to remove the current containment cap from the ocean floor. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_...583902.stm
The new sealing cap has three closing rams and multiple ports for connection. According to BP, the new cap "creates the potential to increase oil and gas containment capacity to greater than 50,000 barrels per day and should improve containment efficiency during hurricane season by allowing shorter disconnect and reconnect times".
