A task force of scientists stated the flow rate was between 35 to 60 thousand barrels per day (MB/D). This is 1.5 to 2.5 million gallons per day.
The actual oil entering the gulf is less than this, as BP is able to capture approximately 20 MB/D using the LMRP. Also, oil is being burned at surfaces and skimmed.
