Back in the days of the Soviet Union they used to use nukes to close the leak in order to stop it (apparantly with an 80% success rate.

So if the Ruskies could do it then why can’t we? Seems they were quite successful at it too! I love a good BOOM every now and then! Letting this well bleed this long is criminal!
