I called BP with a suggestion. The operator said she would send me a form via email. That was a week ago. No form.
I have an idea that I am convinced will work. Maybe it is too simple.
Build a DOME heavy enough to overcome the pressure of the oil. Lower it over. Cap it off.
May not be a perfect solution. But wouldn't it stop upwards of 90% of the problem?
Then go in afterwards with filler. Or even put a valve in and pump the oil up to the surface.
I will try BP again but am posting here in the hopes that someone else may also run with it and solve a nasty problem that effects us all.
