If that outside pipe is 36" then maybe get a pipe say 50" with a sleeve thats 38" inside of it and lower it down there by forcing water down it,around the 36"casing and then take it deeper than the 36" pipe.then pump concrete down the 50" pipe until it is set in there good and then run a bigger drill pipe down around all of that mess of 22 inch pipe,like a 30"drill pipe down say 6000 feet,and concrete the outside of it.Then put a valve on that and shut it off.Maybe run the pipe up off the floor a ways with real thick pipe that will support that Blow Out Prevention valve and put a valve on that to shut it off.
The ship hull was mentioned on TV by somebody in Louisiana, except use it on the surface to pull it upside down over the oil as it rises,then when it gets full pull another one in its place,pump the oil out of the first one into a tanker,pull another full one off and put the pumped out one over the oil.They thought they could get millions of gallons that way.Seems to make sense to me.If they cant stop the oil from flowing,they might as well catch as much as they can off of the surface.What they need is some kind of big oil/water seperator,maybe like a cream separator,to catch more oil out of the water.
Or one great big pipe like 10 foot around,with a sleeve inside to fit over the outer casing and rigged so that it can be used to force water down and sink the big pipe,then fill the area with concrete and make the area around the damaged casing a lot stronger and maybe cap it off some way.If the big pipe had holes in the sides to allow the oil to go through it while they lowered it,but could turn it and close the holes once it was in position and anchored with concrete,maybe they could fix it where they could run a regular casing off of the top of it by turning it a quarter turn,closing the holes,and running the oil up a casing pipe.
I dont know, except anything besides this all is lost, doom and gloom.Oil running like this and already have a slick the size of the state of Washington,is not going to get any better.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
