Iheard on the news that we're currently amid the five-year anniversary of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, when a blown-out well 42 miles off the Louisiana coast leaked an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico over the course of 87 long days. It was the worst accidental spill in the history of our industry. Who can forget the nightly news clips of the damaged wellhead hemorrhaging oil at a rate of 55,000 barrels a day? And who can forget the boatloads of emergency personnel on the surface working tirelessly to contain the contamination?
