Report Criticizes Government Over Spill Estimates

ByJOHN M. BRODER

Published: October 6, 2010

The Obama administration repeatedly underestimated how much oil was flowing into the Gulf ofMexico from the stricken BP well, contributing to public fear about the accident and a loss of faith in

the governments ability to handle it, according to a sharply critical report from the presidentialcommission appointed to study the disaster.

The report, one of four made public on Wednesday, is sharply critical of senior administration

officials for a series of inaccurate estimates of the amount of oil spewing from BPs Macondo well

and how much of it remained in the Gulf of Mexico after the well was capped.

The initial figure, released shortly after the well blew out on April 20 was 1,000 barrels a day, which

was viewed at the time as significant but manageable. Over the next four months, the government

figure was continually revised upward, even as independent scientists using more sophisticated

methods were estimating a discharge rate many times higher than the official numbers.
