Full Story at CNN.com

New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) — BP has put off crucial “integrity tests” on the new stacking cap on its ruptured Gulf oil well so it can review testing procedures, a review expected to take place through the night and into Wednesday.

The oil giant had expected the tests — to check pressure in the well and determine if it can be sealed once and for all — to get under way Tuesday afternoon.

But late Tuesday night, BP announced that additional analysis of the well testing procedure was needed. The move following a meeting with Energy Secretary Steven Chu and his team of advisers.
