If it fails, I understand "that's it", the well will leak the entire contents of that reserve out into the gulf, estimated around 2.5 billion barrels. Is that what you heard? If that's 2.5 billion, and it's leaking 100,000 per day, then that's what? 25,000 days? 68 years? Looks like there'd be enough time to drill about 100 - 1000 wells into that particular reserve and suck it dry. |
