Good news first: The oil spewing from the busted well on the Gulf of Mexico’s seafloor is likely of a light grade that will be easier to clean up than some heavy crudes, according toearly tests conducted by a Louisiana State University scientist.
Now the bad news: Oil executives said todaythat the leak could grow to 60,000 barrels per day if BP fails in its efforts to plug it.
(For reference, current estimates put the gusher at around 5,000 barrels per day.)
