7. The reason the oil doesn't erode the hole is because of casing that goes down
usaully several thousand feet. After time the interior pipe does erode and needs to be replaced from the abrasion of the oil and other material coming up.
Exploding something to "crush" the pipe will not work because of the casing and cement. Even if you drill down next to it and detonate a "perf string", all you would do, most likey, is create a larger hole for the oil to escape.
