4 days ago · Scientists complete a Gulf-wide survey of oil pollution among fish populations for the first time since the huge oil spill. On 20 April 2010, while drilling at sea 250 miles southeast of Houston, a blowout caused an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 crewmen and ignited a fireball visible from 40 miles away.
3 days ago · ABSTRACT #225. The usefulness of subsea dispersant injection (SSDI) for reducing environmental impacts of a deepwater oil and gas release continues to be debated. Oil spill modeling has been used to evaluate tradeoffs of SSDI and other response measures when responding to a spill. For example, oil exposure assessments of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill were modeled as it occurred and ...
4 days ago · This thriving barrier island represents the hard-work and investment that has been made so far to restore habitats and wildlife injured in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Deepwater Horizon Damage. Fourteen years ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and leaked 134 million gallons of oil into the Gulf over the next 87 days ...
3 days ago · Microcosm experiments simulated the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill by applying oil and synthetic dispersants (Corexit EC9500A and EC9527A) to deep ocean water samples. The exposure regime revealed severe negative alterations in the treatments’ heterotrophic microbial activity and hydrocarbon oxidation rates.
1 day ago · These sundered craft contain harmful chemicals, unexploded munitions and around 6 billion gallons of heavy fuel oil. By comparison the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, one of the largest environmental disasters in world history, released 210 million US gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico – a figure some 30 times smaller.
3 days ago · In the Gulf of Mexico, these habitats faced an unprecedented threat in 2010 when the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill released more than 134 million gallons of oil over an 87-day span. More than 770 square miles of deep-sea habitat were injured by the spill, an area about half the size of Rhode Island.
4 days ago · The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill released 134 million gallons into the Gulf of Mexico, making it the largest marine oil spill in U.S. history. See how we’re working with partners and Gulf communities to restore its fisheries and habitats.
