As British Petroleum officials prepare the

For much of the time since an April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon sank the oil rig, the government has estimated that 5,000 barrels of oil are leaking from an underwater well into the Gulf each day. However, according to a New York Times report, the calculations used to come up with that estimate are not recommended for oil spills that large. Complete Coverage: Disaste

MacDonald, an oceanographer at Florida State University and an expert on oil slick analysis, has used satellite images of the slick to produce an estimate that could easily be four or five times worse than assumed, according to the report. BP s release of an underwater video of the leak, showing a plume of oil and gas spewing into the sea at a high rate, has added fodder for those who think the oil company and government are underreporting the vastness of the problem. The government s estimate would put the flow rate at about 146 gallons a minute, Alun Lewis, a British oil-spill consultant told the Times. By comparison, a garden hose s flow rate is about 10 gallons a minute, the report notes. Just anybody looking at that video would probably come to the conclusion that there s more, Mr. Lewis said.
