To describe the new BP attempted to get into a thinner tube in the tube and crashed on the way to halt the uncontrolled leakage.

The oil company BP says it was able to get a tube of oil leak on 1500 meters depth in the Gulf of Mexico and that one can pump up oil to vessels on the surface.

After last week's failed attempt to gain control of oil spills by using a large steel and concrete funnel over the hole wagered on BP to get a new tube directly into the borehole sank.

The new tool is one and a half meters long and four inches thick tubes BP terms RIDE, riser tube insertion tool.

According to BP was achieved on Sunday to get the new pipe in the original hole and connect it to the oil company's drilling ship Discoverer Enterprise 1500 meters above the oil leak.

It wrecked the oil pipe 21 inches in diameter and the new, smaller tube is fitted with rubber collars to seal the space between the two tubes.

By pumping methanol through the new pipe into the oil source is hoped to avoid the risk of the formation of hydrate plugs again as the new pipe.

Hydra is a mixture of gas and water and forming an ICE SLUSH who plugged pipes and pumps and that was what made that last week's trials with the large steel chute failed.
