    BP says if its "top kill" procedure fails, it will install a cap-like device to capture oil from the leaking well and bring it to the surface. The lower marine riser package (LMRP) cap would fit on the end of riser pipe to seabed. A surface ship would lower the LMRP cap on the end. Of the riser pipe. Methanol would be injected into cap to prevent icy hydrates from clogging riser.

    3. Sealing grommet on flow
    LMRP cap fits on top of
