“The trick would be getting the pipe ‘n tires down into the well, wouldn’t it?”

I’ve heard the oil has 1400 psi behind it.

Might work but I’m curious as to the inflation is for, since tired generally don’t expand that much. Also, 1400 psi is more than enough to rip the tires off a core if you’re looking for an ‘airtight’ seal.

And then there’s the pressure of being down at 5000 feet and the 156 atmospheres of pressure.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

he pressures are much more than you say. At 5,300 feet if depth, the overbalance from the WELL is 1400 psi even AFTER it is allowed to relieve itself and flow freely. The actual bottom hole pressures exceed 10,000 psi if it is not allowed to flow.

We are dealing with an extremely complex law of physics here. This so called “genius” is just another arrogant idiot who think that what ever they think of is the ONLY answer.

She needs to work in the Petroleum Engineering world for a while and learn something before she comes off with such stupid and ignorant “solutions”.
