“REMEDY TO CLOG THE BP OIL WELL”
I saw an illustration on Night Line where an underwater expert used a 55 gallon plastic trash can to demonstrated the size of the top opening (top hole) of the oil well (he said it was as wide/round as a 55 gallon trash can). He also said that the drill bit had broken off in the hole but he did not know how deep down the bit is.
Last week, BP sawed off the pipe tubing which was the “flow pipe” attached to the top of the well’s opening/head; that pipe snapped when the surface rig burned and sunk down into the water. The remaining pipe fell to the ocean floor, which is where the oil was initially coming from. Again, last week BP sawed off that pipe at the top of the well’s head/opening. Then, BP lowered a head piece/cap down to the head/opening and is now capturing a part of the oil through that pipe. But still, many gallons of oil are escaping.
Here are my thoughts on what should be done now.
The newly placed head piece/pipe will have to be removed to do this, but before that happens, BP should have in place: (1) A pipe/drill pipe long enough to extend down into the well, at least all the way to the broken off drill bit. On the end of that pipe/drill pipe, they should have a stone grinder/router type tool, which would be used to grind out a cavity into the wall of the well hole (the well hole walls should be smooth due to the drill bit cutting in a circular motion, straight down); (2) BP should have 2 cannon ball type devices, which will be steal/metal balls, slightly smaller than the roundness of the well hole; the steal/metal balls will have steal rods embedded, which will extend out/pop out and lock when activated; (3) BP should have a hardening substance to place into the well hole once the flow of oil has been reduced; the hardening substance should be designed to harden quickly and hold for eternity.
(1) The pipe/drill pipe should be long enough to extend down into the well, at least all the way to the broken off drill bit. On the end of that pipe/drill pipe, they should have a grinder/router type tool on the end of that pipe/drill pipe, which would be used to grind out a cavity into the well hole (if the well hole has smooth walls, which is probably the case due to the drill bit cutting in a circular motion, straight down)
Remove the newly placed well cap, then lower the pipe/grinder/router bit pipe down into the well hole. Grind out a cavity nearest the broken drill bit (the cavity will be used as roughage, for the steal/metal ball device to catch hold, grip once the metal rods are activated, popped out and locked). After a cavity has been cut out (nearest the broken off drill bit) all around the wall, in one spot, the pipe/grinder/router bit should be raised out of the hole about fifteen to twenty feet up, then another cavity should be cut into the walls of the well hole (again, cut the cavity out all the way around the hole wall, in one spot).
(2) BP should have 2 cannon ball type devices, which will be steal/metal balls, slightly smaller than the roundness of the well hole; the steal/metal balls will have steal rods embedded, which will extend out/pop out and lock when activated
Once the second cavity has been cut out, have a second pipe, already lowered, on standby at the opening of the well hole. On the end of that pipe, the metal ball should be attached. Once the grinder/drill pipe has been removed, lower the second pipe/metal ball down into the hole. Once the metal ball is in place (at the first grinded out cavity) activate it so the steal/metal rods pop out, lock. The steal metal rods should expand out into the cavity area and lock, which would prevent the pressure of the oil from pushing the metal ball back up to the surface. Disengage the pipe from the metal ball, and then pull it out of the hole. Having the metal ball in place should reduce the flow of oil tremendously.
(3) BP should have a hardening substance to place into the well hole once the flow of oil has been reduced; the hardening substance should harden quickly and hold for eternity.
Have a third pipe at the ready. The third pipe will be used to pump down the hardening type substance. Once pipe #2 has been removed, lower down pipe #3 and pump the hardening substance into the hole, all the way up to cavity #2.
Pipe #2 should be equipped with metal ball #2 and on its way back down. Lower pipe #2 and metal ball #2 down into the hole, put it in place at the cavity #2, then activate the steal/metal rods on metal ball #2 so they pop out, which should lock it in place. Disengage pipe #2 and lift it out of the hole. By now the oil flow should be shut off. Lower pipe #3 back into the hole and pump more of the hardening substance down into the hole, which should clog it completely. Now stuff the rest of the hole with white rock/limestone mixed with more of the hardening substance, and hopefully, prayerfully that will be the end of it.
