Yea, I’m aware of the concept. But consider that even though you might fuse the rock around the well bore; it could also create more fissures further out thus creating more avenues for oil to escape.

Some of the reports I’ve read have suggested that even the drilling mud has fractured the rock, meaning it is fragile in some places.

Look, I’m all for stopping this well, but let’s not make things worse than they already are.

If anything on this thread....

I am getting history information and am enjoying the discussion back and forth between opposite viewpoints, without the f bomb thrown.

This is why I love FreeRepublic.
