Well, it is my understanding that every thirty three feet down you can add another 14.7 pounds. So, 5280 divided by 33 is 160 atmospherics...or 160 times 14.7 or 2352 pounds per square inch at that depth. That still leaves 6648 PSI at the depth where the well head and liner is. Still quite a bit of pressure, huh? Don't know anything and can't even suspicion engineering problems or stresses or compounded by temperatures down there. Maybe thats why they weren't sure and still may be holding their breath somewhat till they get the new drilling completed and sealed off with mud, cement, JB Weld or whatever. I do recall that the temperature of the oil coming up from the depths at Prudoe Bay was 140 degrees fahrenheit...interesting. ohfred
