Relief wells are the only answer and that won’t be until August. They’ll have to divert the oil pressure far below the damaged well section.

unless the relief wells further compromise the defective strata...

relief wells can collapse...especially since they are drilled as deviated wells....over 5 degrees past vertical.

Relief wells can be truly horizontal or anything inbetween...and then when it zeros in on the bad wellbore...it could make it worst...

risky risky business
