t r u t h o u t | BP's Well May Leak for 55 Years or More Into the Gulf of Mexico?: "CNN's Wolf Blitzer said on June 16 that 'One - one expert said to me - and I don't know if this is overblown or not - that they're still really concerned about the structural base of this whole operation, if the rocks get moved, this thing could really explode and they're sitting, what, on - on a billion potential barrels of oil at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.'

Bloomberg noted June 19 that, 'The ruptured well may hold as much as 1 billion barrels, the Times reported, citing Rick Mueller, an analyst at Energy Security Analysis in Massachusetts.'

CBS noted on June 18 that, 'The oil well spewing in the Gulf of Mexico could contain as much as 1 billion barrels of oil and could keep flowing for more than a decade, the Times of London reported' and that, 'The Macondo oil well could be one of the largest oil discoveries in the world.'"
