BP claims they are capturing 11,000 barrels a day...
Edited on Mon Jun-07-10 11:52 PM by CoffeeCat
That's astonishing, because according to BP, just several days ago, the
leak was only spewing 5,000 barrels a day.

We should thank BP! Not only are they cleaning up EVERY drop of oil that
is leaking from their well--they're apparently vacuuming up oil that *must be*
coming from another source.

Do you know what this means? According to BP's own numbers--not only will
every drop of BP oil be cleaned up--the ocean will be much, much
cleaner than before the spill even happened--because they're capturing more
oil that is coming out of the leak.

I don't know about you, but I feel such relief!

2. BP isn't in charge of the flow estimate any more - the Coast Guard is, so I don't
know why BP is even addressing this aspect.

3. If they are capturing 11,000 barrels a day....
then they are spewing more than 50,000 barrels a day. Fuck off BP, and sign over your properties/holdings.

4. "They do not know for sure what the result is going to be of anything which they are doing," Markey
said (of BP.)

'winging it'
