Gulf Coast Petro Eng - BP Spill

Haha, whoever that geologist was clearly didn’t understand much about oil wells. There is so much oil down in that well that it would probably take as long to dig a cavern to hold it as it would just to let the thing expend itself, not to mention the giant cavern would completely destabilize the seabed.

to be honest, he was clearly kidding in the sense that he was really talking about geoengineering and what would not be cost effective</p>
