The number of dolphins and whales found stranded along the Gulf Coast each month since the Deepwater Horizon explosion has remained far higher than the average from before the spill. Previous studies established apparent connections between the BP spill and the sharp rise in ...
oil spillThe Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 led to the deaths of 11 workers, a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf, and nearly three months of massive engineering and logistics efforts to stop the spill. The series of failures before ...
A story set on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded during April 2010 and created the worst oil spill in U.S. history. By all accounts, it would have been far easier forDeepwater Horizon,Peter Berg’s surprising retelling of the BP oil rig disaster of 2010 – to ...

-- Seven years ago today, an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. It took 87 days to cap the well. During that time, approximately 3.19 million barrels of crude oil flowed into the ...
The blowout caused explosions and a fire on theDeepwater Horizonrig, leading to the deaths of 11 personnel onboard and serious injuries to 17 others. Nearly 100 others escaped from the burning rig, which sank two days later, leaving the Macondo well spewing oil and gas into Gulf wa...

BSEE's projected savings are also trivial compared to the$60 billion in coststhat BP has incurred because of its role in the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Since then explosions, deaths, injuries and leaks in the oil industry havecontinued to occurmainly from production facilities. On-the-job fata...

The fabricated oil rig – which was constructed to replicate both the interior and exterior of the Deepwater Horizon – was then sectioned off in order to compartmentalize the filming process and streamline production. The three portions of the set recreated the drill floor area, the main deck ...
