re: #595 Bagua

This was likely a really big find. Probably ten times what BP was letting out.

Maybe, but then again one suggestion is that the amount of natural gas, not oil, is much higher than originally thought. This is a concern with the Brazilian deep water find that go so many people hot and bothered a couple of years ago. It is even farther down, and in warmer rock, and most of the hydrocarbons could have been broken down into methane by now.

Anyway, the Macondo project looks like it could turn into a worst-case scenario. BP has to be worried whether the relief wells will be enough, or can be completed in time.
