Depending on the force of an explosion, it could kill some of the marine life in the water very close to it. An explosion on a rig also scatters some forms of hazardous debris into the water which pollutes it. Also, an oil rig explosion could also cause a flow of oil or well fluid from a well or pipeline into the water that can cause severe pollution.
