Answer by Earth Man
No values are available. BP is going against everything that it promised, and not telling anyone about anything, they’re running away as soon as it’s been temporarily plugged, they’re calling foul on people suing them saying they have to go to the billion fund first, and so on.
No numbers of anything about the well have been released. We can’t even make an estimate because they had first promised a few thousand feet to plug the well, then came back with, “Oh, it wasn’t as much as we needed, but we promise it’s fixed.”

In early August,after the successful “static kill”, BP pumped enough cement into the hole to put about a 1 mile column of cement into the 9 5/8″ casing… ~2,300 cubic feet.
The relief well will be completed over the weekend, when it pumps cement into the annulus around the 9 5/8″ casing.
None of this information is secret or being withheld by BP,
