I’m not for sure my figures are accurate but it they are there are 15 Billion Barrels of oil down there. So at 5,000 a day the leak will continue for 150,000 months.
This is a times article from which I extrapolated the possible amt. of oil we are dealing with – since no one seams to be sharing that info. This article was published before the spill:
