15th Anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon mobile drilling unit suffered a catastrophic blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.  Every day, over the next 87 days, approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil were released into the Gulf making the Deepwater Horizon disaster the largest oil spill in the history of the U.S.  In addition, 11 workers were killed and 17 critically injured by the explosion and resulting fire.  After several unsuccessful attempts to contain the spill, on July 15th a 鈥渃apping stack鈥� was finally installed on the Macondo well which stopped the release of oil.  The cleanup lasted several years.  On April 4, 2016, the court approved an $8.8 billion settlement with British Petroleum (BP) for natural resource injuries caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, concluding the largest natural resource damage assessment ever undertaken.
