The oil spill could be solved by drilling relief wells to reduce the pressure on the original well.
Its kind of like making a hole in a water pipe. The water will keep spraying out, no matter what you do, because all the water is trying to escape at the same time. If one were to make several smaller holes, the pressure would drop, making it easier to plug all of the holes at once.
Once the relief wells are drilled, the so-called 'top hat" strategy can be implemented.
