So if the estimates of 5000bpd is accurate what would be the estimate if the well was free flowing around or outside of the BOP?

Could it possible that that number could be over 100,000 bbls a day?

Unless they have an idea of AOF that's probably impossible to know. The only limits to volume would be the annulus, drill pipe ID, and casing ID.
