Does anyone know what kind of flowing pressure a well like this would have?

not sure, but I saw some knowledgeable discussion on bloomberg and they were guessing over 15,000psi to achieve a blow out.

Jay: What would you guess was the cause? I've seen some debate as to whether they were drilling or Plugging.

They set casing but had not perf'd? casing, cement, and mud down hole, they must have some serious pressures to get back flow

The first hot stab didn't work, but they think its a ROV problem and not a BOP issue, they are sending down another ROV.

Check: To us laymen, what does ROV stand for?
