Solutions That Can Work Below the Sea


 

Send down large empty compacted blimp size bags which can be filled with oil and allowed to drift in the sea until disposal can be arranged.  The bags would simply encase the effluent crude, preventing it from mixing with the water around it.  Blimp size bags could drift anywhere and be harvested when convenient without doing serious damage to surrounding sea life "up current."  The pressure from the well would be sufficient to fill the bags against the very great but still less great pressure of the surrounding water.  The bags could be manufactured quickly -- factories around the world could be put to work building them to specifications.  To inflate they would not need a tight fit at the broken well head.

They would float like clouds of oil encased in a skin of non-porous material.   

The idea is free.  If you know anyone powerful in Eliteworld, show this to them.  You never know, he may actually be one of those who really wants to stop the disaster.  Anything is possible. 

Fill up bags with the gas and oil.  Let them float freely.  If the right materials can be found perhaps two or three could open to contain the quantity of a sub-super tanker -- but even if it took 10 or 20 it would still be worth it.
