Reported by: Anza CRWE Newswire Middle East correspondent.
The British Petroleum oil spill also known as Deep Water Horizon, in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Around 4.9 million barrels leaked from the time the well ruptured a mile below sea level on April 20, 2010. The leak was followed by an explosion which killed 11 workers. It took almost three months to be contained and the well was finally capped on July 15 with only 800,000 barrels captured during a containment operation.
As BP moves towards shutting down the well for good, it was estimated that the well kept on oozing some 62,000 barrels per day for 87 days before being capped. This leakage is much more than that of the original estimates. BP will be fined under the Clean Water Act which allows the US government to seek civil penalties for illegal discharges of oil. According to the law, BP could be fined within the range of $1100 to $4300 per barrel leaked into the gulf.
British Oil Giant British Petroleum has revealed on Friday, Sept 03 that it has already spent $8 Billion to battle the oil spill disaster. The British energy giant has forecasted that the world’s worst oil spill will cost the group a total of about $32.2 billion.
US President Barack Obama placed the blame squarely on the petroleum giant and the US government is conducting a criminal investigation into the incident, BP is hoping to shift some of the blame on its contractors.
The contractors include Transocean which leased the Deep Water Horizon rig and Halliburton which cemented the well.
BP has promised to cover the costs of the cleaning and compensations for residents, hit hard by a fishing ban. It also vowed to take care of the local tourist industry damaged by this deep sea accident.
