The ‘top-kill’ effort was launched on Wednesday afternoon under top-oil spill commander, U.S. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen and had been successful by Thursday morning. The government and industry engineers used the technique of pumping enough drilling fluid to block gas and oil disgorging from the well. However the officials made cautious statement referring that this is not the permanent solution to the problem.
