re: Retarded/simple solution thread: Oil Spill

Build the dome, get it prepared then use a ROV to cut the riser with either a subsea shear or DWS thus allowing a greater oil flow that will cause formaion breakdown and a probable bridge to happen. Presently the restriction of the bend riser is acting as a choke and allowing "production" to continue. The well needs to be flowed hard to collapse the formation. The risk is increased flow therefore the dome needs to be ready
