Quickly as we can. so bob, just to clarify, are you saying that if we were getting some flow measurements now we could actually retrocalculate with some of that what the flow has been in the past? absolutely. and the flow in the past is the one that s the most expensive calculation for bp long term. that s exactly right. they have pressure readings from this wellhead from the very beginning, lawrence, that they have not disclosed to us except for a few spot readings here and there. now we have this pressure build-up curve. if we were flowing oil into the gulf, we could pretty much calculate how much oil and gas they flowed since april 20th. so let s look at where we are now. 6,800 pounds per square inch pressure, it s rising. that s a good sign, everyone seems to agree. where do you think we are now? what are the possibilities in front of us? and are there still some doomsday scenarios in what you see coming? the build-up they re doing ....
So we should be focusing on lowering the rick as much as we can, and getting the well killed with these relief wells as quickly as we can. just to clarify, are you saying if we were getting some flow measurements now, we could actually retro calculate with some of that what the flow has been in the past. absolutely. and the flow in the past is the one that s the most expensive calculation for bp long term. that s exactly right. they have pressure readings from this wellhead from the very beginning that they have not disclosed to us, except for a few spot readings here and there. now we have this pressure build-up curve. if we were flowing oil into the gulf, we could pretty much calculate how much oil and gas they flowed since april 20th. so let s look at where we are now. 6,800 pounds per square inch pressure, it is rising, that s a good sign. everyone seems to agree. where do you think we are now? what are the possibilities in front of us? and are there still some ....

Admiral allen today backed up bp s claim that the seepage is natural and unrelated to the well. and he reported that pressure within the new stacking cap is rising, a good sign for now. and last reported at 6,811 pounds per square inch, increasing at a pound per square inch every hour. less clear, however, is why bp and allen seemed to take divergent courses on the well s future this weekend. after allen said saturday that the pressure tests would be followed by collection of oil through the wellhead, bp chief operating officer doug suttles the next day said the well would stay capped indefinitely, raising fears that the pressurized oil might escape elsewhere, such as through the gulf floor. allen followed up with a statement saying the decision would be day by day and promptly ....
Found seepage less than two miles from the wellhead. seepage of what, they did not say. admiral allen today backed up bp s claim that the seepage is natural, and unrelated to the well. and he reported that pressure within the new stacking cap is rising, a good sign for now. and the last reported at 6811 pounds per square inch, increasing at a pound per square inch every hour. less clear, however, is why bp and allen seemed to take divergent courses on the well s future this weekend. after allen said saturday that the pressure tests would be followed by collection of oil through the wellhead, bp chief operating officer doug suttles the next day said the well would stay capped indefinitely, raising fears that the pressurized oil might escape elsewhere, such as through the gulf floor. allen followed up with a statement saying, the decision ....
