Even if BP's current "top kill" effort to stop the gushingwell works, the oil hanging at and below the surface still needs to be cleaned up before a storm makes it worse, Studwell said.
The well is still gushing, however. BP's technicians have been unable to activate the blow-out preventer, essentially a massive valve that must be operated remotely by robot submarines.
