Can someone help me with the math here.
Before they cut the pipe BP said that the flow would increase around 20%. BP has been low balling numbers since day one so it's probably higher than that. But lets say an increase of 20% after the cut.
After the cut BP now says they are capturing 1/3 of the oil. The "1/3" number is based on the ORIGINAL estimates of the leak, not the actual amount coming from the pipe after the cut. This is directly from the BP spokesperson.
So in reality, the net result is the leak is probably the same size if you believe the BP numbers and use their math. At worst, the leak is probably worse.
