If you want to stop the oil leak, here's how and you don't have to explode anything... You remove the upper section of the Blowout Preventer Stack, which is called the Lower Marine Riser Package, along with the recently sawed/sheared off riser pipe stub which is bolted on top of it. To do this you power up the VetcoGray H-4 connector that currently holds this LMRP in place on top of the lower section BOP Stack, and then unlock it. This connector is a hydraulically operated subsea connector, the same kind that connects the lower section BOP Stack to the Wellhead below it. After this LMRP is unlocked and lifted out of the way, you get a brand new 18-3/4" five ram lower section Blowout Preventer Stack. You then fully open this new lower section BOP Stack. There have been some still images from an ROV video feed that show what appears to be two 6-5/8" drill pipes that were sawed/sheared off inside of, and along with, the riser pipe above the LMRP. After the LMRP is removed, any pipes that remain sticking out of the improper functioning lower section Blowout Preventer Stack need to be sheared off at the top of it. After these pipes are sheared off, you then mount and lock your fully opened brand new lower section BOP Stack on top of the improper functioning 18-3/4" five ram lower section BOP Stack, using a VetcoGray H-4 connector. After this new lower section BOP Stack is firmly locked on top, you close it. This new functioning lower section Blowout Preventer Stack will completely stop the oil. GZ
