http://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/cormorant-alpha-shutdown-... estimates that the Cormorant Alpha shutdown cost $10,000,000/day, or about $100/second. That figure comes from multiplying the oil production (90,000 barrels/day) by the oil price ($110/barrel). Where did you get the $70,000/second figure from?
