What Caused the Oil Spill in California?
According to workers on the oil processing platform, the spill was the result of a leaking pipeline that was used to transport oil between two other offshore platforms.
How Much Oil Spilled in California?
Authorities reported that 126,000 gallons of oil were released into the ocean. The recovery teams have collected 3,150 gallons of oil so far, but that still leaves a very significant amount of contamination for the coastal communities.
Where Was the Oil Spill in California?
The leaking pipeline that caused the spill is located five miles off the coast of California underneath an offshore oil processing platform owned by the company Beta Offshore. The leak wasn’t contained quickly enough to prevent the 126,000 gallons of oil from leaking out of the pipeline, which has resulted in one of the largest oil spills in recent Southern California history.
When Was the Major Oil Spill in California?
Workers noticed the leak on Friday, but despite their recovery efforts, they couldn’t contain the crude oil that was contaminating the water. The spill reached California on Sunday and Monday, bringing dead wildlife along with it.
