On July 15, BP announced that the tests determined the oil leak had been successfully sealed and on Aug. 4, BP performed a “static kill” procedure in which mud was pumped into the capped well to push the oil back further below the ocean floor. Then on Aug. 9 BP posted a press release on their website, BP.com, stating the “static kill” was a success and that there has been no more oil spilled in the Gulf since the cap was put in place on July 15. Though the oil has stopped leaking and the well has been effectively plugged, the cleanup is still ongoing and the extent of the long term effects of the spill on the marine life and fishing industry in the Gulf are still debated on.
