Summary[edit]

Description
English: The mobile offshore drilling unit Q4000 holds position directly over the damaged Deepwater Horizon blowout preventer as crews work to plug the wellhead using a technique known as "top kill,". The procedure was unsuccessful in its intention to stem the flow of oil and gas and ultimately kill the well by injecting heavy drilling fluids through the blow out preventer on the seabed down into the well. The en:Discoverer Enterprise is in the foreground.
