The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

On April 20, 2010, the explosion of Deepwater Horizon oil drilling equipment in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers and injured 17 people. A day and a half later, the oil drilling equipment sunk. This leakage was known as Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, BP Oil Leak, Mexican Bay Oil Spill Incident, BP Oil Disaster. First of all, in fact there is little oil leakage to the sea, but it is estimated that 12,000-19,000 barrels of crude oil will leak every day after more than a month. Many attempts to stop the leak were made, but until July 15, 2010, all failed until the leak was blocked, the federal government announced on 19th that the well "actually died". Stoves in the last 3 months

Regulation and BP oil leaked to Deepwater Horizon. The outflow of BP's "deep sea horizon" was the most serious accidental oil spill in US history. The original oil drilling equipment exploded on April 20, 2010, 11 people died and 17 people were injured. Nearly 5 million barrels of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, causing serious environmental and economic losses, and further disasters, the three pillars of the Gulf Coast economy, fisheries, tourism, energy production - the total cost of economics and cleaning It collapsed seriously. Billions of dollars

As the largest offshore oil spill in US history, Deepwater Horizon oil spill released 134 million gallons of oil to the Gulf of Mexico in 87 days, causing 1,300 miles of pollution in five states. Scientists concluded that Deepwater Horizon 's oil spill incident killed thousands of marine mammals and sea turtles and polluted their habitats. Five turtles live in the Gulf of Mexico: loggerhead turtles, kemp turtles, green turtles, dragonflies and leatherback turtles. All of these species are protected by the Endangered Species Protection Act. The Gulf of Mexico provides important habitats for sea turtle breeding, breeding, migration and shelter. Among them are the wide range of habitats of the high seas where small turtles are required for survival.

A few months later, we will celebrate 5th anniversary of oil spill by Deepwater Horizon. The accident released millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and extensively affected marine ecosystems in Louisiana and other Gulf countries, habitats of wildlife, fishing and tourism. Twenty years ago, Deepwater Horizon directed public attention to energy-related environmental risks, like Alaska's 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill incident and co-oil spill incident on the coast of Santa Barbara.
