Oil Sheen Near Deepwater Horizon Rig Matches Macondo Crude, Coast Guard Says

摘要

The U.S. Coast Guard has notified BP Pic and Transocean Ltd. that an oil sheen located near the sunken Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico matches crude spilled from the damaged Macondo well, a Coast Guard spokesman confirmed Oct. 11. The Coast Guard said it is not feasible to recover the sheen, which does not pose a risk to the shoreline. The observed sheen size has varied over time depending upon the conditions present.
