Oil is flowing from an oil deposit, up the well and into the gulf water. So, I think you are asking how much producible oil is in the reservoir. BP indicated that the producible oil is approximately 50 million barrels or 2,100 million gallons. So, letting the well flow until all the oil in the reservoir is gone is not an option.
