HOUSTON, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Oil and gas is being received onboard a tanker on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico following the successful placement of a containment cap over a ruptured undersea well, BP said Friday.

The cap was placed over the leak following the cutting and removal of the riser pipe from the top of the BOP's lower marine riser package (LMRP).
