A large tarp made of a very strong yet flexible material is
staked on the seabed in several key places and then swung over the oil leak. Next, The part of the tarp that was swung will be staked and tightened. At this point, the oil will still be able to flow out from under the tarp. Rocks and mud
will then be placed incrementally over the tarp starting from the back edge and continuing until the leak ceases.

I think you would have a very hard time drawing the tarp over the leak. |

I am hoping that the tarp will decrease the overall pressure incrementally as it cuts across the leak. I am also hoping that the tarp will diffuse some of the pressure from the leak by distributing that pressure on the greater surface area of the tarp. |

I like it. But that's one huge and immensely strong
tarp. |

Just tell the Chinese that the oilfield is their's, with one pre-condition: that they stop the leak. |
