Scientists: Oil Leak Up to 60,000 Barrels a Day Estimate is Higher Than Previously Thought; Exxon Valdez Spill Totaled a Little More Than 260,000 Barrels cbsnews.com A government panel of scientists said that the ruptured well is leaking between 1.47 million and 2.52 million gallons a day of oil, or between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels (based on a standard 42-gallon barrel). That is an increase over previous estimates that put the maximum size of the spill at 2.1 million gallons per day. "This estimate brings together several scientific methodologies and the latest information from the sea floor, and represents a significant step forward in our effort to put a number on the oil that is escaping from BP's well," Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement.
