Thank you for that information and the link.
There certainly are a lot of 'ifs and buts' involved in the oil extraction business!

and IP - Don Jose's link threw up this information which I suspect is what you were talking about

I apologise for mistaking disasters, previously
I think this excerpt from the article explains why we Kiwis didn't solve the crisis.
Given how much outrage the BP spill has caused in the United States, it's remarkable that after the first few days, the Montara oil spill was largely ignored by everyone in Australia and was probably never heard of in most parts of the world.
What else don't we know about?

I have had to push a 1/2 fitting into a 200 psi hole its no easy task.
A plug would be impossible and a open pipe with a valve to turn off once secured,, not alot easier.
Especially form 1 mile deep with robots.
Good luck stuffing anything down that pipe.
