20,000 psi?

Heard on CNN this mornig that the oil in the deap well is at 20,000 psi. It seems if that were the case, you wouldn't see it just "boiling" out of the well. At that pressure I doubt "heavy mud" could ever enter the well. I wonder if they meant something else or if the figure is wrong? I don't get it.
