Thank you o wise one,

yes, your explanation makes total sense.

I confess that I was envisaging quite the opposite scenario; ie the flow was almost at max pressure. Whereas in fact there is an amazing pressure remaining.

As you suggest this could be huge.

the mind boggles when one thinks of 700bbl/day coming out of a 3mm orifice - just amazing.

It is going finally to be mind bogglingly humongous. You can quote me on that.

is there an expert on fluid mechanics amongst us? or can someone direct us to a flow chart?

Thanks again o wise one.

i'm off now to spend my super fund, i'm gonna have more than I possibly need - lol.
