Experts discuss the possibility of imploding well.
7-19-10 Based on the Russia Today report in May, experience the Russians have with controlling ruptured oil wells may assist BP in the Gulf area, two options were explored. The first of those options being relief wells the other being implosion of the well using a bomb...a nuclear bomb! The recent pressures of the well head in the Gulf of Mexico indicate the there is indeed a rupture somewhere below the surface of the seabed. In this scenario the relief wells couldn't possibly work as the casing and entire bore hole structure must be intact for the relief dills to intercept the main reservoir. The other option...nuke it!!! Imploding the well could either stop all the oil from leaking or drastically cause further damage The difference between Russia's decision to implode their wells and BP choosing to follow suit. Russia's wells are on land and remotely located. The Deepwater Horizon site is in the waters of the Gulf impacting millions of species of sea life and not to mention the human impact.
