NEW ORLEANS — BP says the concrete sealing the busted oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has hardened as crews prepare for the final phase of drilling a relief well. The oil giant said Sunday that pressure tests on the concrete plug poured down the throat of the blown-out well show the seal is solidly in place. That means BP engineers can begin drilling the final 100 feet of a relief well meant to permanently seal the blowout.
