[quote:Anonymous Coward 879450:MV8xMDg0NzM0XzE3MjY4MDEwXzE0NkI4NTRD] Keep in mind that a relief well has never been dug at this depth so one must put the chances of this being the solution into perspective. http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/challenges_involved_in_drillin.html [b]But relief wells are something that, fortunately, engineers don't have to do very often. Drilling the relief well also can be fraught with challenges -- especially working in deep water on a well that has already had problems with gas bubbles. "You have to hit something the size of a dinner plate miles into the earth, " said Richard Charter, a senior policy adviser at the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife, who follows spills around the world. "Even in a shallow-water blowout, the drilling of a relief well can be complicated and problematic."[/b] [/quote]
