The capping stack installation and be able to test for pressure in the integrity of the well bore. these kind of overlap. i don t want to lose track of the fact that we re following a very robust containment strategy actually started in early june where we directed bp to come up with alternatives to increase redundancy and capacity related to the new flow rate numbers. so with that said, what s going to happen is we will be initiating the tests later on this evening and i m going to stun you with my audio-visual aids here. because i m at lake front airport. i ve had no access to powerpoint. here we go. all right. everybody see this? okay. i m going to explain what s going to happen here. you have at the bottom the blowout preventer and the lower marine riser package that are left over from the deepwater horizon loss. okay? that s right down here. we are currently producing off the kill-and-choke lines of the lower marine riser package and the blowout preventer through ....
We know because of the new flow rate numbers we need to increase capacity. additional vessels being brought into the area and anticipate by the end of the month of june and capacity will increase to 53,000 barrels a month. following that thought a decision made will be reached mass capacity with the recovery system we have on the scene with the containment cap. at that point the officers will be unbolt the plans, small section of pipe we needed to shear cut and replace it with a solid bolted on cap that can be linked to a new flexible production system and alloy us to use production platforms and shuttle tankers. once that s in place, we have the capability to increase capacity on the production to 60,000 barrels. that should be somewhere around the middle part of july. we continue to move forward on that. it is proceeding at a pace. regarding the relief wells, development driller three, drilling the first relief well, is now 10,677 feet below the sea ....
The goal is over this week and into next week to create a command and control structure and backbone to utilize all those 2,000 vessel opportunities out there. that reflects a strange in situation in both the supply and demand of assets. most recently earlier this week we announced the new flow rate numbers and as you know, we think it is somewhere around 35,000 is the most probable but the range goes up to 60,000 barrel as day at the high end of the scientific evaluations. to that end we need to redouble the efforts regarding skimming capability. from shore out to 50 miles as we have the oil starts to close shore. we have the opportunity to do that with thees haves of opportunity that volunteered their services to us. now it is a matter of putting that together and command and control structure. this is something on a scale far exceeds anything we have done in the domestic response for and it an indication of the willingness and passion of what people get involved in the cleanup. ....
That wasn t in the speech, details on the escrow account but there were other things peopled wanted to hear. the president did not mention those new flow rate numbers that you mention at the top, now up to 60,000 barrels a day, much and much different than what bp said at the beginning when the range was 1,000 to 5,000 barrels. maybe that was not mentioned because it doesn t really fit into the president s narrative about how the federal government really does have a handle on this now. he didn t get into details about that escrow account. he didn t give a dollar figure. he also didn t say which third party independently would run this escrow account. white house aides say the reason he didn t go into detail is the president wants to hash this out behind closed doors with those bp executives, not get ahead of this meeting this morning at the white house. a lot of eyes though on that meeting to find out whether bp s feet really will be held to the fire. we will hear from the preside ....
Bp is under orders to come up with a more aggressive plan for containing the oil and capping the spill. admiral alan says the government ordered that when officials discovered the oil was spilling about twice as fast as it originally thought. we were concerned because if you look at the flow rate numbers and the amount of oil that will be potentially out there at risk, we wanted them to give us a faster plan with greater redundancy and reliability as we move forward this is the kind of thing the president is likely to see in alabama where governor reilly said he ll ask mr. obama for more leadership. reilly says right now, a lot of different officials have veto power and he doesn t think he can deal with the spill that way. the president will overnight in pensacola and then when he gets to washington, he will address the nation on what he has seen and what he plans. it s the first address to the nation from the oval office. then on wednesday, the president will meet with bp officials, ....
