Oh you're saying 3 miles under the earth in the bedrock... Missed that for some reason... Like I said, I don't focus too much when I post on ET... So the point would be to bury it...?
Maybe that might work... Anybody know if the oil could ignite at those temperatures even if underwater...?

Needs oxygen to burn?
No worries.. its just that there is so much misinformation going on with this oil spill. I like to keep the facts accurate.Quote from CoolTraderDude:
Oooops.... That was a really stupid mistake on my part...
Yeah... You're right...
In my own defense I was doing other things at the time. I don't usually focus too much when I post on ET...
My bad...

It won't affect the resevoir. Just crimp off the bore hole.

Quote from William Rennick:
This came to me in an Old Milwaukee induced trance. Use the current cap and work on a better seal. Once this improved seal is made slowly apply increasing back pressure on outflow pipe to reduce flow as much as possible. Once reduced flow is achieved, resume pumping heavy mud back down the hole, or through side vents of cap. This should give the mud a chance to get a foothold deeper in the hole instead of getting blown out at high pressure. Should be a safe approach not risking doing more damage to the BOP if done properly. It would also leave the current set-up in place which is catching much of the oil.

They tried to kill it. Its spewing out below the BOP. Why don't you go read what is going on before you comment. That shit is under 70k PSI of pressure.
