New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) — BP will try again within the next day to cap a well that has gushed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy company said Friday.

The latest attempt will involve inserting a tube into a ruptured pipe, collecting oil and sending it to a vessel on the surface, said Mark Proegler, a BP spokesman.

The insertion tube was on the sea floor, and engineers planned to move it into place later in the day, Proegler said.
