The British Petroleum (BP) Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Introduction The oil spill of the British Petroleum Company (BP) in the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most serious ecosystem injuries in human history, resulting in tremendous damage to fragile and beautiful ecosystems, as well as defects in current energy exploration methods , Raising concerns about risk management. And tidy up. (A) What technology is used for deep sea oil exploration, what factors are causing BP disaster, which components of leakage are looking at from the viewpoint of volume and concentration, time and space size What?

Deepwater Horizon 's oil spill (also called BP oil spill) in the Gulf of Mexico is regarded as the biggest accidental offshore oil spill in the history of the oil industry. The oil spill was a direct result of the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling equipment which took 11 lives. The total amount of oil was estimated at 9 million barrels. A huge crude oil carrier carrying the Liberian flag was divided into three, and 1,604,500 barrels (219,797 tons) of light crude oil and 4,000 tons of heavy oil were released, becoming the largest scale of oil spill at that time and became the largest scale. Loss of marine creatures recorded from oil spillage outflow

BP's oil spill began in April 2010 when oil drilling equipment leased in the Gulf of Mexico exploded and finally released nearly 5 million barrels of oil (about 200 tons). An important example of the environmental impact of human activities. Millions of gallons to the sea). Legislative investigators later concluded that BP made a series of decisions "to increase the risk of catastrophic wells." According to a report, researchers said "BP own employees and external contractors warned, but some decisions seem to be in violation of industry guidelines" (Fountain, 2010, p.A1 ).

A week after the oil spill of BP to the Gulf of Mexico, BP hired you as a consultant on the coastline cleaning in Louisiana. At an early conference of the expert advisory committee, one of his colleagues, Dr. Sanderson, suggested that using dispersants, it can decompose tight oil that continues to accumulate on the sea surface and continues to flow toward the coast. did. . BP has established a relationship with this set of dispersant manufacturers and he recommends that you use the product line Corexit as it is able to obtain a large number of products at affordable prices. He further urged this action as mass quantities of chemicals are shipping to other parts of Louisiana, it is easy to do so. At the end of the meeting, all committee agreed that as oil is rapidly approaching the coastline, we need to take action as soon as possible.
