However‚ concerns

INTRODUCTION Due to the very nature of oil resources‚ the environment is invariably affected. The first way in which the environment is affected by the oil industry is through both the drilling and the transportation processes. The chemicals used in the drilling can be harmful to the environment‚ drilling itself poses a great danger‚ for instance in case of an oil spill (as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill showed)‚ and as the Exxon Valdez disaster so evidently portrayed‚ transportation can be equally

Affects of Oil Spill on Oyster Beds Beatrice Hemphill Biology 1408 Section 6300 Mrs. Shipley The oil spill was a terrible desaster that occurs when petroleum was accidentally released into the water and the environment. Oil spills normally take place on land and in the ocean. When the oil spills that occurs on land it can be cleaned up quickly if it is caught in a timely manner ‚ the oil spill caused major damage to the environment and can also affect the

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (aka BP Oil Spill) was one of the worst oil disasters in history. How much damage was done? How is BP making up for it? This is what we discovered: In the BP Oil Spill‚ more than 200 million gallons of crude oil was pumped into the Gulf of Mexico for a total of 87 days‚ making it the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. 16‚000 total miles of coastline have been affected‚ including the coasts of Texas‚ Louisiana‚ Mississippi‚ Alabama‚ and Florida. Even though the

Mexico oil spill began on April 20‚ 2010 in the deep waters and continued for 87 days. Oil was found from the Macondo site in the Florida panhandle and Tampa Bay. The oil and dispersed mixture embedded in the sand continued to kill dolphins and other marine life. (Pallardy‚ 2016) Oil spills can cause long-term environmental damage and can affect marine mammals‚ such as dolphins. Additional research is needed to understand the impact of oil spills on marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil spills

Petroleum “BP” Oil Spill On April 20th 2010‚ British Petroleum better known as BP had an extremely destructive impact on the environment and the livelihood of those in Gulf Coast area of Louisiana‚ Mississippi and Florida. BP’s Deep-water Horizon oil rig was located offshore‚ 52 miles off the southeast coast of Venice‚ Louisiana. An explosion on the Deep-water Horizon oil rig caused a massive fire that claimed the lives of eleven BP workers. After 36 hours of burning‚ the Deep-water Horizon oil rig sunk

their domestic consumptions of oil have led to increased prices of gasoline whereby alternative forms of energy production are sought. With this in mind‚ offshore drilling can be a viable option for satiating the need of oil and also to boost the economy of the nation. In this report‚ I am going to discuss how the current Deepwater Horizon rig explosion has led to disastrous oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico causing environmental problems and also discuss how the oil spill if resolved and with safe and

Oil is one of the most important resources that empower the economy. It is mainly used for transportation‚ cooking‚ heating‚ and also electricity generation. Without oil‚ transportation‚ manufacturing‚ and production of food may not be possible. Oil came from fossils and dead organisms that submerged to the bottom of the ocean‚ or what we so called Oil Wells. It was collected by oil rigs by digging the bottom surface of the ocean. Deepwater Horizon oil spill is one of the biggest and controversial
