BP Oil Spill, How to Fix It & Turn it into a Producing Well

It would be easier to turn this gusher into a temporary producing well than to cap it at this time. The temp would work until a relief well is finished, hell, it would work for a long time, using the technology available and using products that are available, with modifications. Hydraulic dredges have been used for decades, and, they work. And they would work with even more efficiency with an oil well, under pressure. Assuming a standard 6-8 inch drill pipe (or a riser, 21 inches, adjust sizes up) is standing, or leaning, start with a 10-12 inch suction head, 3-4 power heads, ( with additional suction heads installed at 1500 to 2000 foot intervals) it would pick up virtually all of the oil coming directly out of the drill pipe and would relieve the pressure to an extent it would bring it up fast enough to stop the small secondary leaks below the break. Complete details and schematics available for $1.6 million.  This gusher is a big problem, the solution isn't.
