They've been deliberately — and falsely — understating the volume since day one because they are aware of the $4,300/barrel EPA fine that they will be slapped with. It defies logic, though, that they thought the world would just take their word for it.
It defies the logic of everybody except British Petroleum. They're living (on the edge of financial ruin right now) in the classic corporate bubble. I'd bet serious money on Hayward's eventually being ousted, but ~ Too easy, no real fun in that kind of action. Might as well bet on where the sun's comin' up tomorrow.

At first, I thought it was odd that we can't find that figure, so I kept prowling around. I snuck up on this tory ~ as good an explanation as any for the dearth of info out there ~
Weird. The google search landed me three other links, but in the time it took to switch from that open tab to paste the url here, and then back . . . Now there's just the one link above.

Actually, BP wasn't extracting anything prior to the explosion. They had been in the process of capping the well so that a production rig could be brought in to replace the DWH and start actually pumping crude.
