Carefully compare the article as posted above and the text that appears at the actual site it came from. The two are widely different. Notice in the text above sentences end and begin randomly and do not even exist in the original.
The original may have been updated since the posting, but that does not explain the broken sentences above.
Factoid: If you assume that there is over 5,000 psi of downhole pressure at the BOP—and everything I have heard indicates it is probably substantially higher than that—then a 1/4 inch diameter hole is large enough to “leak” 5,000 barrels a day. That “leak” would probably cut off your arm if you passed it in front of it.
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6444 This has been posted some where..great article...Looks like the BOP may have closed except for a small leak..
That was my fault guess. I pasted to much in then had to cut it down some in order to get below the excerpt limits and post the article.
