Steve Wereley's particle analysis estimate 70,000 bbls / day leakage. The much publicized 5,000 bbls/day figure is from a surface only estimate by NOAA. It's been discovered that much of the leak is forming large sub-surface slicks. One such below surface slick is 10 miles long, by 3 miles wide, by 300 feet thick. These guys are not going to be visible til / if they come ashore.
