Weber Associated Press Writer NEW ORLEANS — Engineers will soon start the delicate work of detaching the temporary cap that stopped oil from gushing from BP’s blown-out Gulf of Mexico well and the hulking device that failed to prevent the leak — all while trying to avoid more damage to the environment. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the gov- ernment’s point man for the spill response, told reporters Friday that engineers will remove the cap starting Monday so they can raise the failed blow- out preventer. The blowout preventer is considered a key piece of evidence in determining what caused the April rig explosion that unleashed the gushing oil. The leak was first contained when engineers were able to place a cap atop BP’s well. Workers then pumped mud and cement in through the top in a so-called “static kill” operation that significantly reduced pressure inside the well. Officials don’t expect oil to leak into the sea again when the cap is removed, but Allen has ordered BP to be ready to collect any leaking crude just in case.
