How do you take out oil from the ground or the seabed?
There have been many oil spills on land, in particularly from oil pipelines. The quantities of oil spilled will depend on the flow rate through the pipeline and how quickly the spill can be stopped. Usually, the initial efforts are to contain the spread of the oil, and this can be done using berms or dikes. The BP oil spill occurred on water but much of the oil ended up in the marshes. BP attempted to contain the contamination by building berms. Oil can recovered by using chemicals to absorb the oil (sorbents). The effects of the spill can be to some degree mitigated by use of dispersents. In the Rxxon Valdez spill, fertilizers were used on the rocky coastline to increase thebiological action of bacteria breakdown the oil. So in sum, when oil is spilled on land or in wet areas, there are many methods. Oil generally floats to the surface, so when a spill occurs in deep oil, there will not be significant concentrationson theocean floor. This is fortunate, as there is no way to remove any contaminant from the ocean floor.

About how many oil spills happen each year?
This number is unknown as not all oil spills are reported, and many are not required to be reported under current legislation. The circumstances of the spill (indoors or out, contained or uncontained, in barren areas or in sensitive areas), the magnitude of the spills (drips or Mega liters), and the reporting jurisdictions requirements all affect reportability. Industrial associations and environmental agency data often provide spill numbers that meet their criteria.
