>>3)If I have located the correct drilling permit, BP states in the worst case senario section 7.1 an uncontrolled well flow of 162,000 barrels per day. And since no amount of junk could seal up the BOP and no amount of mud pumping could force adequate mud down the well I would conclude this is a very open uncontrolled gusher. How can BP justify an estimate of 1000 revised to 5000 bpd against engineering estimates of 162,000bpd? posted by Dr. Juan on May 31, 2010 - 1:28am
