The latest estimate of the Federal Government for the duration of the oil gushing daily in the Gulf has nur-- until 12,000 19 000 doubles barrels to 25,000 30,000 worden.Diese new numbers which many scientists feel yet low ball the true amount, mean that the size of the entire Exxon Valdez tragedy every 8-10 days since the leak has occurred first begann.Und Yes, a spill and we almost two months in this are spill, this means which is currently approximately 7 times the size of the Valdez-- or more BP Golf spill.

The New York Times reports: does the higher estimates are not only reviews of how much the spill has done damage to the environment, but also how much BP could ultimately pay the durcheinander-- clean up and probably suspicion among the sceptics about is how honest and oil companies increase coming into the disaster has been.

The new estimate is based on information collected before BP cut called a pipe that a card on the ocean floor last week to a new device, an operation to install, which said some scientists strongly increases the rate of flow can... the new estimate seems a much better match than the earlier for the reality that Americans can see every day on your television.Although the new recording device is funneling with 15,000 barrel of oil a day for a ship on the surface, a robust flow of oil still gushing from a mile below the WavesBut note the well, some scientists believe that as 50,000 barrels and daily spit leakage from the site could be so much.

In both cases, it seems quite clear that BP numbers beginning - has been low balling you first, 1,000 barrels was the magnitude of the leakage reported if you be erinnern.Nun is said are 15 time collect.

Finally the oil at a faster rate as analysed dating can have increased achieving how the flow is considered the current estimate, after installing the riser BP werden.So cut spilling a collection pipe, although BP collects 15,000 barrels a day is still escape unknown as much oil in the Gulf.
