They won't be able to collect much more from the top hat than they already are because 14K or 15k is the max the ship can handle.

Looks like they are going to bring in another ship.

"BP aims to gather up to 20,000 bpd from oil spill"

My guess is NOW they have a fairly accurate way of measuring it instead of a bunch of asshat's WAG's. Maybe....I don't know, sometime the hate and conspiracy theories just bring me down to a hate level!!

I blame the estimates on Mudminnow

I wonder what the percentage of sea water is in that 20,000 barrel per day estimate.

It better be very small. The whole reason they're still letting so much oil escape is to keep seawater out of the cap.

Would really be nice if people had an idea before spewing off!!

From my latest Sitrep:

"They continue to recover production to the Enterprise. The last 24 hour collection was 11,119 barrels and 22 million cubic feet of gas. The Massachusetts barge is mobilizing to offload approximately 60,000 barrels of oil from the Enterprise today."

60,000 barrels of processed crude collected = 60,000 not spilled into the GOM....

are they sucking up oil while offloading to the barge?

Whats the capacity of the Enterprise and the barge? I'm assuming the barge can hold a couple hundred thousand barrels?

Reporters are still idiots.

They Report that they are sending in another ship to increase capture to 20K eventually. But this other ship I suspect will be connected to the choke and kill lines and not a replacement. The choke and kill lines will be hooked up to a different riser they have said before.

So my point is am I interpreting it right or are you? A well writen article wouldn't have us wondering.

That's how I read it omega. A different ship in addition to Enterprise with a separate riser.
