There are several subs that work to this depth; 2 in France, 4 in Russia, 3 in the US & 1 in Japan. As to the rock pile, this is not a seep. It won't respond to any attainable level of gravel. I don't know the specific flow rate here but a hydrothermal hot spring pumps water out at about 2 meters/second. That's more back pressure than your average offshore dump truck could overcome. Besides, the BOP is intact down there. If they can get the riser cut, then they can cap the well, or better yet, pump it. Like T. Boone Pickens said: We need 20 million barrels of oil tomorrow morning.....just to get through the day.
