I don't think so, but will not discuss it here. On the OT list, ok?

Hi
I'm no engineer but I think a very small nuke is what you need to to
collapse the well from a hole bored side by side with the gusher hole.
Drill down a few hundred feet and detonate. I doubt 3-4 lbs of
conventional explosives will do it unless inserted directly down the
well which sounds impossible to me. This is a very high pressure well.
I could swear I read was drilled through basalt to get to the oil but
can find nothing on the internet about basalt
I want that nuke to cap that well by destroying it. If that oil
reservoir is tapped again BP will have to drill a new hole....Hey it's
doing that anyway right now. Two of them

G,
Why a nuke? Another engineer suggested a small (3 - 4 lbs)
shaped charge would be enough to collapse the well. You have to
be careful not to damage the rock casement of the well itself.
That's the problem.

There are natural oil seeps off the California coast. Think
LaBrea tar pits....oil and tar close to the surface. Santa
Barbara off shore has many seeps. The natural seeps don't put
out so much these days because the oil drilling has relieved
the pressure
About ten days ago on a forum an old guy said he saw tarballs
washing up on Southern California beaches in the
1940s...before any offshore drilling off the California coast
BP head on TV said last night it is now an industry wide
effort to get the best people and best brains together to
neutralize this gusher. I would not bet against these people.
An entire industry's future is at stake. In other words they
have very stronmg incentives (monetary and otherwise) to cap
this well
Me..... I would consider drilling a hole right next to the
well 500 ft down and detonate a small nuke
