Yea the producer is going to low ball that estimate..I initially heard some where around 10K bbls but who knows. Im sure they will have a better idea after the investigation of what the well was producing+time frame of the leak.

If it is a sheen, probably not more. Fresh oil spreads out rapidly on water and forms a very thin surface. When reporting a spill, the term sheen refers to fresh oil of a thickness of 0.000001 inches.

Below is a link if anyone is interested in how to make these calculation
