Hot off the Presses ... Scoop: Gulf well may be gushing 25,000 to 30,000 barrels By Joel Achenbach, washingtonpost.com -- June 10, 2010; 4:00 PM ET Just filed to the web some new figures we obtained this afternoon from the federal government that suggest the Deepwater Horizon well is gushing more oil than previously estimated. The Flow Rate Technical Group has about five subgroups, and the one that is looking at the video of the leak, the so-called plume team, has come up with an estimate of 20,000 to 40,000 barrels a day, with the most likely range being 25,000 to 30,000 barrels. The team had earlier estimated the flow at 12,000 to 25,000 barrels.
