One thing that bothers me is why can’t they at least continue pumping seawater into the manifold system instead of mud. It will at least lessen the flow of oil and with enough pumping capacity will lower the flow of oil considerably.

Freezing ice cold sea water slush might even be better. Add chiller coils around the manifold and freeze it shut.
