About 210 million gallons poured out of it. People from the rig went missing and were never found. After failed attempts they finally sealed it on September 19, 2010.

change, oil spills, coastal erosion, and alternative energy which are all topics affecting the arctic region of the United States and the world. It is crucial that today’s society pays close attention to the problems arising from these issues causing our environment to suffer; one being the effect that oil spills are having on the arctic region. An oil spill is defined as a presence of somewhat large amounts or layers of crude or refined oil on soil or in sea water (What Is Oil Spill? Definition

In 2010 the Gulf of Mexico felt the wrath of the oil companies that occupied the seas, a major spill caused a mass die of Microscopic fish. This is what could happen if there were to be an incident on one of

al., 2013). Stage III Remediation Train: Booming, skimming, burning, chemical dispersants Affected habitats of the shoreline identified by SCAT teams: sand beaches, coastal marshes, man-made structures. In the event of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, an estimated 4.2 million feet of containment boom and 9.1 million feet of sorbent boom were used making this the largest boom deployment in response effort history (British Petroleum, 2010). Oil contained in rigid booms was then subjected to conventional

Question What would happen if sand were water resistant? What does the fabric protector do to the sand that makes it Hydroponic? Why does the oil sink? why does the sand stick so close?

These two studies investigated the effects of the April 2010 BP Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the observable effects that it has had on coral reef and salt marsh ecosystems. The study conducted by White investigated nine coral communities six months after the spill using ROVs. In an area 11 km west of the spill site, the researchers studied scleractinian, gorgonian, antipatharian corals and found many that were covered with floc, a brown flocculent material, that is linked to coral

The Gulf Oil Spill was and still is a issues for BP that require both its legal team and media relations department to work quick and together to both address the issues and protect the image of the company.

past century, a new threat to the ocean has arisen. Oils spills are one of the most dangerous human effects on the ocean, partly because they’re so difficult to reverse after they’ve happened, and because many of the chemicals that get released into the water are extremely toxic to a lot of creatures. Oil spills are usually caused by two ships colliding with each other, a ship colliding with another object, or as in the case of the BP oil spill, an explosion. The Deepwater Horizon rig was technically

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine one of the largest offshore oil spills in U.S. history, BP’s Deepwater Horizon explosion in 2010. This paper seeks to investigate closely the system and the reasons of failure, to answer the questions behind numerous studies on this accident, Is Deepwater Horizon explosion inevitable? and What can we do to avoid such accidents? Within the scope of Perrow’s normal accident theory, this paper aims to draw conclusions to the above questions and
