The pressurization tests will allow us to determine what the best next steps are.

Obviously seismic tests were done this morning in preparation for these pressurization tests.

WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing

Obviously Thad Allen discussed the pressure test for the well and getting a sense and judging the intensity of the wellbore through pressurization, right?

Complementing the pressurization system is a 100% fresh air circulation capability.

Ducati is using desmodromic technology to increase the power of its engines and illy uses pressurization to enhance and protect the flavors of its unique blend.

When I -- right before I came out here, we had not begun the pressurization tests, but we expect that that will probably happen sometime today.

WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing

And we simply asked BP a series of questions that we felt -- wanted to know the answers to prior to Admiral Allen and the federal on-scene coordinator signing off on these pressurization tests.

WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing

You could either do it separately if the integrity of the wellbore has been maintained through the explosion, and if not, it helps when the relief well intersects to the well in having a separate point of pressurization for mud and cement.

WHITEHOUSE: Press Briefing

We do know that in the event that there is something wrong with the pressurization, we do have a containment apparatus and architecture in place -- albeit it would take some time to get those boats moved back and everything hooked up.
