this period of time where the oil, as has been described, is just gushing out unabated. do we have any accurate assessment of just how much we are talking about in terms of barrels or gallons going into the ocean as you wait for this containment cap operation to be completed? >> well, kiran, the government estimate's always been between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels a day. we have been producing with the various devices that have been on the well before the last cap was removed somewhere around 25,000 barrels a day. we have continued to flare off about 8,000 barrels a day and the helix producer will be coming online. we will have the capability to continue to produce but during the period when we actually try to do the well integrity test we will slowly take those producti production platforms offline because we have to close all the valves. >> admiral allen, thank you so much. good luck today with all the efforts to cap that well.
