BTW, 20,000 barrels a day is about 8 minutes of Texas consumption. Not that much oil really then. Just a small tank can hold that. Here is how large a 1.2 million barrel tank is. alibaba.com

BTW, 20,000 barrels a day is about 8 minutes of Texas consumption.... Really worth this catastrophe, isn't it?? Sure, if we knew this would be where the spill happened, than it would have been better to never have dug this particular well. But any particular well, is likely to run out of oil before it would be expected to leak, or at least leak in a severe way. We have had thousands of offshore platforms in the US, and we have not had a leak before this one since the 60s. Is all the oil provided by off shore wells, since 1969 worth this severe accident? Yes, most definitely. And if we had never drilled off shore in the US, than we would have imported more oil by ship, and probably have had a greater total of oil leaked in to the ocean.
