The only way I can see to cap this well is to drill 4 wells
around the blowout well,,,maybe 6 or 8,,,or ?,,,
What ever it takes,,,
They can lay another undersea pipeline to Port Fourchon,,,
Nobody wants to do this because it would kill the price of
oil on the world market for a time,,,
BP is burning the oil at sea and that should prove my point.
Only about 50 miles from Port Fourchon where the oil/gas
can be piped to every refinery in the area...
I hear ya, but they could just refill our strategic reserves or perhaps pump the oil to safer old reservoirs on land. The affect on the price of oil really not be a significant factor. They can always shut down other non-leaking BP wells. At any rate, might be a good idea to at least inspect everything BP has been doing or getting away with.
