Review of flow rate estimates of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1112139108

We assess the degree to which a consensus was reached on the flow rate of the well by comparing in situ observations with a time-dependent flow rate model derived from pressure readings taken after the Macondo well was shut in for the well integrity test.
