the pressure in the reservoir is around 9000 psi. the pressure readings taken just before the top kill operation began last week indicated that the pressure at the blowout preventer was around 3500 psi. that is the pressure of the zero oil coming up to the well bore, counterbalanced by the hydrostatic pressure of the water at 5,000 feet. there is pressure for the oil to rise up to the top. the natural gas flares off. will the pressure of the oil going up into a much smaller pipe -- the price we are looking at are smaller than the well bore themselves. if they fill up and more pressure is created there, will enough pressure forced the oil around the sides and back down out of the seal? the answer is i do not think we know until we know how the containment cap is seated and how well the rubber seals have done their job and have some video that tells us how much oil, if any, is coming out. there could be close to none. there could be some. we will not know until we see how the sale fits with the more jagged cut out there than what we an

we know the pressure is somewhere around 9000 psi. the pressure reading indicated that the blocker venter was around -- the blowout preventer was around 3500 psi. there was pressure for the oil to come up in the pipe, and rise up to be produced, and flared off. the question is, will the pressure of the oil going up in a much smaller pie, if they completely -- a much smaller pipe, if they completely fill up, which would force it oil around the oil seals? the answer is, we do not know until we see how the containment cap is sealed. we have some video that tells us how much oil is coming out. which could be lucky, and it could be close to non-farming. -- and it could be close to none in the. we will have the video. we will talk openly and frankly about it with me know. thank you. >> thank you, everybody. >> admiral thad allen in the matter early, -- in metarie, a suburb of new orleans. will go into the scenes. the next step is to cap the well. the white house is also announcing that president obama will travel by to the gulf coast tomorr

prior to joining psi, he had experience as federal law enforcement specialist, an fbi director, and criminal investigative positions. as a group, we decided there's a lot of expertise here and we want you to take full advantage of their expertise and their knowledge. >> i want everybody to be interactive and ask good, accounting questions. -- and ask good questions. a small video to start with. >> brian asked me to do a quick introduction to the panel. if you think john talks funny, get a load of this accent from new york. [laughter] i want to briefly touch on three investigations i was involved with when i was with the recording industry. the first is a video that you just saw, which was a joint investigation with the nypd. it was involved in the manufacturing facility that was producing music and movies. they were selling this to consumers around the tristate area. we ended up finding out what was going from that investigation which was that they were also producing this type of dvd's. they were using the funding to fund this type of propaganda of videos. where the investigation ended up i

. >> we know the pressure in the reservoir is somewhere around 9000 psi. the steps taken before this operation last week indicated the pressure around the blowout preventer was around 3500 psi. that has been counterbalanced by the pressure of the water at 5,000 feet. where there is pressure for oil to come into the pipe and rise up to be produced on the vessel on the top -- the question is, wwll the pressure of the oil going up into a much smaller pie, and -- smaller pipe, and they are smaller than the drill for themselves, will the pressure -- the drill bore themselves, will the pressure forced the oil up? the answer is we do not know. we have some video that tells us, it's oil, if any, is coming out around it. we could be lucky. there could be some. we will have to wait and see. we will run the video. we will be talking frankly about it when we know. thank you. >> thank you, everybody. >> thank you, folks.
