In this Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2010 photo, Helix employee Daniel Loebel sits in the bridge of the the Helix Q4000, as it performs the static kill operation, at the site of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana. BP claimed a key victory Wednesday in the effort to plug its blown-out well as a government report said much of the spilled oil is gone — though what's left is still nearly five times the amount that poured from the Exxon Valdez.
