Even a layman could calculate the fearsome product that could come from approximately 5,000 barrels of oil per day in about one month.
During the first day of BP PLC disaster, 1,000 barrels of oil leak per day is projected to the public but when it was closely investigated, the amount is raised to 5,000.
Percentage of oxygen has dropped tremendously in the depth where formation of plumes is stretching not less than a mile. Contingencies from BP and supporting sectors can only do so much in lessening the environmental spoilage.
The Gulf of Mexico, deemed as extension of the Atlantic Ocean is the habitat of several marine species. Oil spill chemicals would certainly harm the food web in the long run including the coral reefs. Worst is expected if the oil wave reaches the harboring shores of Florida and other places surrounding the Gulf of Mexico.
BP PLC, through its CEO has recently agreed to the assumption that better preventive measures could have prohibited or at least lessen the effects of this accident. Financial compensation that may exceed $75 million awaits BP when this is all over but for the meantime the oil industry tycoon has been spending day by day to have experts fix the broken pipe using top scale labs including robotics.
More than being financially indebted, BP PLC will eventually face the global community to expound the causes of the incident and to give the company’s course of action to repair the damage.
