Not sure what is going on but it looks like there is less flow of oil coming out of the LMRP cap than I have ever seen.
I wonder if the well is starting to sand in. I doubt it, that would be to good to be true. Or if they have some other conpture device hooked up ahead of time. I doubt that too.
Anybody see what I see?

Crap it was just all blowing out the other side. Should have looked at all the feeds before posting. But it does look less than I have ever seen from a single camera angle.

maybe its fitting on there better or they have more of a suction going on

What are the chances the cap puts more pressure on the oil coming up from the ground causing leakage through the sea floor and possibly destabilizing the BOP?
Just looking for some perspective

even if it is leaking mostly from one side of the cap, it still looks to the naked eye like alot less is coming out. however, the cap seems like it's not level on the top of the BOP. looks like it's VERY crooked.

Very unlikely. The LMRP cap is pretty much just sitting on top of the riser with hardly any seal at all.

Not surprising considering that snaggle-toothed cut on the riser.
