UPDATE: Two individuals applied their own formulas to the data variables. Conclusion was the same. This is enough evidence to hold weight in court.
We are facing these figures as authentic oil flow.
Skeptical? Completely understood! Do the math yourself and you will see.
END UPDATESIt seems crazy but I have to show you guys.
I will include all data and tools used to get to this conclusion.
Flow Calculator [

DataL = Length of pipe from seafloor to oil = 9,754 meters
D = Diameter of pipe = 914 mm to 215 mm
note - standard diameters for oil drilling, lowest value is used due to depth.P1 = Pressure in oil reserve = 15,000 psi to 70,000 psi
P2 = Pressure at release point = 2,000 psi
P1-P2 = Pressure difference in transit = 13,000 to 68,000 psi
T = Temperature of oil in reserve = 633*K
note - 35,000 feet is averaged at 360*CQ = Volumetric Flow Rate
G = Mass Flow Rate
rho = Density of oil = 924 kg/m3
The Calculators Results70k PSI in Oil ReserveQ = 352,259 m3/hr
G = 3.25487872E+008 kg/h = 325,487,872 kg/h = 116,301,122 gal/hr
15k PSI in Oil ReserveQ = 64,210 m3/hr
G = 5.9330372E+007 kg/h = 59,330,372 kg/h = 21,199,527 gal/hr
Conclusion21 to 116 million gallons per hour
This is mathematical fact and all variables are sound and factual. Please try to debunk this!
I hope I am wrong but I would like others to calculate themselves.
Your temp is a mistake, also did you take friction loss into account - there is always friction losses in pipe flow - this reduces the flow rate (Q) and the nozzle pressure (the well head would be analogous to a nozzle in this case).
