I would bet the reservoir is at least 10,000’ below the sea surface?

It's 18,000 feet below the sea surface, 13,000 feet below the sea bed.

I bet it will fill up with magma and lava will start flowing out of the well and then all the sea animals will evolve into the kind that live around those hot sea vents and then we will have those shrimp to eat.

“It’s 18,000 feet below the sea surface, 13,000 feet below the sea bed.”

In rods, furlongs, leagues, cubits, hands, light years?

At 5,000 ft. below the surface (seabed floow), the pressure is 2300 psi.

Any idea how powerful that is?

I think we should get us a movie director, with his submarines and fiber optics, and go down there and wrestle with 2,300 psi, jagged metal, and just “plug that damn well.”

It will be even better if we have the lawyers help the movie director.
