After the Obama administration pushed BP to develop a more aggressive plan to capture oil, BP has responded with a plan that would capture up to 60 percent more oil than its previous proposal.
BP's initial plan was to develop capacity to capture 38,000 barrels per day by the end of June and up to 50,000 by mid-July. According to Reuters, the new plan would create capacity for up to 53,000 barrels per day by month's end and up to 80,000 barrels per day by mid-July.
Nothing will actually stop the well from leaking until a relief well is completed. That won't happen until August at the earliest and could take longer.
