at approx depth of bop - 500 atm = 7111.67165355 psi

at sea level - 1 atm = 14.223343307 psi

This left me wondering what the pressure inside the well/oil & gas field must be, to be spewing out like it is, against over 7,000 psi.  Answers vary greatly, depending on what unidentified "source" you read/believe.  It would also fluctuate, depending on methane hydrates release.  

What ever lead them to believe they could replace drilling mud with sea water... major snafu... they knew what pressure readings they were dealing with ??? Criminal imo
