Possible oil seep may force BP to try again

BP thought they were in the clear, until the government ordered them to uncap the valves they just capped off as outlined by the New York Times. This try that BP has made, although it is their 10th, has been working as far as anyone could tell. Sadly, oil may be coming right out of the ocean floor now.
Obama becomes a BP problem
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has caused more problems than just PR and financial issues for BP. The Jones Act has hurt the response from Obama and is going to hurt the Democrats in elections. The public will likely continue to be mad about more seep. The Times shows us that even though the seep is being investigated still, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen over the spill is allowing pressure testing to continue Tuesday.
Nothing from pressure tests yet
Blowout and seep is monitored with pressure tests after capping the well. Considering the BP oil well extends down three miles into the seabed, there is much area to monitor. Even if oil doesn’t come back up from the cap due to a pressure spike, there is the potential that oil and gas can seep into the ground. At that point, little to nothing could be done to control its escape, wrote Allen in a recent press release.
Help comes from Russia?
Andrew Revkin within the Times writes that an “independent set of eyes” might help the oil spill although Obama might want to just use our resources? Oil seeping into the floor might happen at any depth. James Cameron has a panel of experts that offered a suggestion to the Obama administration. Russian submarines could help us monitor the spill at lower depths. It would be easier to find a seep.
