and how it was discovered. tori? >> can you explain a little bit why there's so much concern about this development. it's just a small, little leak. is it really that big of a deal? >> reporter: if there there is a leak and they determine it's problematic, what would happen, they would have to go in and remove the cap again. you remember when they were doing this the first time, the oil gushed unabated, unobstructed for several days. if they have to remove the cap again, this can happen all over again. they don't want that impact. we know right now an official, doug suttles, chi operator officer with bp, came -- chief operating officer with bp came out, and said no new oil, no

tar balls. that's great news. >> nicole, what exactly does bp have planned for the next few weeks? are they gonna try to do the relief well to permanently shut down the problem? >> reporter: absolutely. they think one of these could be in pretty good shape by the end of the month. they still don't believe they will be up and running by august. they plan to send out a couple of oil collection ships to join the two already out there. they want to make sure they are collecting as much oil as possible. if they can get those two other ships out there, they could be collecting 3.4 million gallons a day. that would be some good news. they have to make sure this is the only leak and it's not going to be problematic and they don't have to remove the cap and deal with millions and millions of gallons of oil gushing back into the gulf. >> certainly the last thing everyone wants.
