The next option is to cut the riser pipe so that the "Top Hat" will have more of snug fit. Which will help keep seawater out and hydrates from forming. In the diagram, the hat thingie has an antifreeze component although I don't know if the actual cap will have it.
The hat method will also help capture most of the oil although they may have to let some escape.
