The entire Macondo field is estimated to contain between 50 and 100 million barrels.

where's your link on that? Every credible statement I've read says basically they have no idea unless they drill more wells.

"Tulane University Professor Eric Smith cautions that the 50 million barrel figure is not a terribly good estimate, though. BP's well was a preliminary "discovery well," said Smith, who is also an associate director at the Tulane Energy Institute. And calculating the amount of oil in the reservoir is difficult: "it's a geometry problem to define what the enclosed volume is.""
