Later today I am going to announce that a zillion gallons of oil a day are spilling into the gulf.

I have had my cat watching the video feed and feel that my numbers are very accurate.

Funny.

The production math is relative straight forward as flow through a cylinder over time. I do not know the diameter of the pipe used here thus I do not know the flow rate. Previous estimates have ranged up to 50000 barrels a day or about 2 million gallons. To me, that seems about maximum if it is free flowing with no collars and no resistance. To date, the largest flowing well in the GOM is 30K barrels a day btw. But who am I to doubt your cat.
