There needn't be any James Bond type technology for this thing to be revenge from Israel. BP is owned and controlled by those with close ties to Israel.
The events leading up to the disaster indicate a deliberate series of steps were taken by BP management which appear to have been designed to undermine the integrity of the drill hole and the well itself. It wasn't a laser beam, it was deliberate sabatoge by the very people who owned the well. No cost is too great for them to "make their point", since we are the ones who end up paying in the end anyways.
