This well should have been demolished with explosives weeks ago. Instead of rescuing the well it should have been permanently sealed with explosives. Drilled down three hundred feet and detonated. Even a few shaped charges collapsing the well from 2,3,4 directions

Its pressure might be so great that would not have worked unless they went a lot deeper, what do you think?

Downhole explosions have been used in many wells to expand the oil flow.

Believing that this would stop the well is naive.
