LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward said on Sunday a containment cap fitted onto a leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico was capturing a large proportion of the oil and he hoped the "vast majority" would be under control soon.
"The containment cap is producing around 10,000 barrels of oil a day to the surface which is being processed on the surface," he said during an interview on BBC television in Britain.
Asked what proportion that represented of the total oil leaking, Hayward said: "At the moment it’s difficult to say but we would expect it to be the majority, probably the vast majority of the oil."
