Gulf Oil Spill: Cap Placed Over Leak Collecting Only Fraction Of The Oil

I was reading BBC.uk this morning and per them the new cap is only collecting about 64K gallons of the estimated 500K to 1M gallons of oil that are exploding out of the well.



Once BP gets the 'flow-dispersion-pressurization' right the cap will collect up to 600K gallons per day estimated, but a significant amount of oil will still escape in to the gulf.



It appears that, as always, BP is still all about saving that oil for profit vs. killing the well.



Of course, per our BP managed news releases, only 527 birds have been found dead, 235 sea turtles and 30 mammals have also been found dead.



I guess the disaster isn't really a disaster and we can all go back to whatever we were doing on April 19th.

====================================



Also, as hurricane season has only begun (and it's anticipated to be one of the worst we've ever experienced), the tanker will have to stop collecting the oil from the cap, be disconnected and moved from the area.



The oil and gas will then resume gushing into the Gulf of Mexico (and into the loop current and the N. Atlantic Ocean beyond) at its original rate, plus the 20% increase that has resulted from the slicing off of the portion of the pipe that had been crimped in the April 20th explosion.
