Capacity to be able to accommodate the flow rate which the government estimated and still systems to be 35,000 to 60,000 barrels a day. to that end, the capping stack off the kill and the choke lines, together with the kill and choke lines off the legacy bp deepwater horizon give us four outlets from which to produce and what we intend to do is from the kill and the choke line on the legacy b.o.p. is to produce to the helix producer and the pisces, which are floating production units that will then transfer to shuttle tankers. the kill and the choke line on the stacking cap that we have right ...

The ideal kind of best-case scenario would be that this containment cap system essentially works by itself and seals off the oil flow. but perhaps what i think officials here seem to be the more likely process that will happen, is that they will be able to reconnect all the riser pipes to containment ships on the surface of the water and at the very least, collect all of the oil that is, that is spewing into the gulf of mexico. so one of those two options they hope will be how all of this plays out here in the coming days. >> all right, ed lavendera, thank you very much. with all the talk ab...

>> did bp have any quality control on these parts before they installed them on the cap that would allow them to detect a leak, a hole or anything like that? if not, will there be in the future or what were they if there were any? >> i'm not sure i can tell you exactly on thatpert pop we'll get that information and get back to you. i do know this. a lot going on here has been designed and engineered for the first time to deal with this particular problem. the capping stack was a custom made stack that includes three rams. i would call it a mini blowout preventer. but it also includes a kill on...

Line. >> thank you for taking my call. [ inaudible ] >> okay. here's the sequence once again. there are basically three ways that hydrocarbons can come up through a blowout preventer preventer, the one that's there or the capping stack we put on. the kill and the choke lines and then the main bore up through the preventer itself. we now have a capping stack on top of that. so there are five ways that you can potentially release oil. the kill and choke line from the original blowout preventer, the kill and choke lines from the capping stack and then the top of the capping stack itself. what we ...

And we will remove the way for the hydrocarbons to exit through the kill and choke lines on the original blowout preventer. then we move to three exit points, the choke and kill lines of the capping stack and then the top opening of the capping stack. then we will in sequence, first -- there are three rams that are part of the capping stack. the middle ram will be closed. that will seal the upper opening from any hydrocarbon release and leaves us the kill and choke lines. the kill line will be closed as well. this is either open or shut. that leaves the choke line of the capping stack as the l...
