摘要

Shell Offshore Inc. will pay $3.9 million to settle charges stemming from a 2016 oil spill that released roughly 81,000 gallons of crude oil off the Louisiana coast. Heavy debris covering the 6-inch "jumper" pipeline caused a stress fracture, according to a report by the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, leading to the spill.
