BP's ruptured well released more than 200 million gallons of oil before it was capped, government officials said Monday, as the company prepared to stuff the well with dense mud in preparation for a final seal later this month. The new figures, described as the most accurate to date, place the size of the BP spill in the upper range of earlier estimates, affirming the disaster's ranking as by far the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
