It didn't work, gnu. On paper it should do as you suggest, but it failed.

Looks like it won't be fully controlled until a new rig drills an offset. Hence the three month estimate. Depth 18000 feet and cased and cemented (fully?) when the blowout occurred, the subsequent fire finished the damage and sunk the rig.
