Just read how a bomb would be deployed to seal leak and it itself seems in way a slam dunk--one, like with most all else it has never been tried with a deep water well---it has been done for times successfully in Russia with surface wells using specialy designed small nuclear bombs.
Now here is where it gets dicey, this case would require making a bore hole at within 62 feet of the blowout pipe line and to a depth of 18,000 feet BELOW the surface of the seabed.
That will not be a fast operation and it best not cut into the other bore hole at all.
The bomb is then lowered to 18,000 feet below seabed surface and it theory it then crushed a seals the oil pipeline.
At a depth of 18.000 feet below sea bed level it should have no effect on seabed surface.
Bottomline, it does noit sound like a piece of cake procedure.

If Top Hat works, oil will keep getting ocean, but at expected much reduced levels and then they wait for the relief well to be completed---and given even they are drilling 2 releif wells as their is a risk they MISS their target---again this is not a give me, and August timeline probably optimistic.

If the Top Hat fails, forgettaboutit.
My question is does anyone have estimate of how much crude is in this reserve?????????????????????????????? Max

I don't think anything was spared in 2008, except treasuries and cash.

Norilsk recently said the Russian government's stockpile of Palladium was gone, which would be good for the palladium market . . . if you could believe anything the Russians say. PAL and SWC are marginal producers compared to Norilsk. So you're right, any economic downturn would hurt those two much more than Norilsk or some of the S-A producers.
