Dang, this discussion is going on on the off topic list, and I thought
this was on that list since both come in the same mailbox. My apologies,
everyone, PLEASE leave comments on the off topic list, not here.

How many holes are you going to drill. Six with six charges? I think
it is best to go deep for any explosions because the oil/gas is so
high pressure it will make its way past 20 feet of rubble. Even done
your way
I wish a real nuke expert would give an opinion to the media but I
think there is such a nuke-phobia it wouldn't be used even if it was
proven to be the best course. I rather nuke it if that's a good way to
go than see oyster beds and fishing grounds fouled for 20 years
I wonder what Edwin Teller would say.

Garrick,
the idea of the small shaped charges is to surround the pipe with them
and blow it closed, or at least down to a dia. where it could be
capped.
Blowing the whole thing even wider is not a good idea, and
anything on a
scale you envision would probably produce cracking and widen existing
faults which would lead to a catastrophic impossible-to-control
blowout
of the entire pocket. Wrong way to go.
