Most of it, though there is still 20,000 gallons out on the islands.

What 3 locations did the Exxon Valdez oil spill affect?
The Exxon Valdez spill affected far more than three locations; the oil slick eventually covered 11000 square miles of ocean, much of Prince William Sound.
How much money did it coat to clean up the Exxon Valdez?
Because the spill impacted 1,300 miles, it took the Exxon Valdez Company four summers to clean up the spill. Some oil may still remain on the beaches. It took 10,000 workers, 1,000 boats, 100 airplanes, and the Navy, Army, and Air Force to clean up the spill. Exxon spent about $2.1 billion for the clean up.
What are the Comparisons of Exxon spill to bp spill?
In terms of size, BP is worse. In terms of damage, there's no clear answer. Here are my reasons. The Exxon-Valdez spill was caused by a tanker accident causing oil to spill. The total amount of oil spilled is estimated to be 11 million gallons. The environmental damage was extensive. See related link. The BP spill is ongoing and as such, my comments are limited to my knowledge as of May 28. The BP well, Macondo, has been spilling oil since April 20. There have been various estimates of the rate. The latest estimate from a task force of professionals, is 12,000 to 19,000 barrels per day. A barrel contains 42 gallons, so the estimated rate is 504,000 to 798,000 barrels per day. Considering the well has been spilling for 38 days, this means that approximately 19 to 30 million gallons have already been spilled into the gulf. As of today, May 28, we do not know if this flow has been stopped. So, it is correct to say that the BP blowout spilled more oil than Exxon-Valdez accident. However, is it a worse accident? Eleven people died in the fire. In this aspect, it is much worse. Is it worse in terms of environmental damage? No two accidents are the same. The damage is continuing. So are the clean up efforts. The Gulf Coast area is much more accessible. The resources in terms of clean up equipment are much more available in the Gulf Coast. The ecosystems of Alaska and Louisiana are very different. This will be a controversial question for some time. I have included information on the BP spill and three other very large spills, Exxon-Valdez, Ixtoc-1 and Gulf War spill. The Gulf War spill was the world's largest spill and the degree to which the oil impacted the environment is still controversial.
How long will it take for the BP oil to completely clear from the water and marine life of the Gulf of Mexico?
They should have the oil cleaned up sometime in the next 2 years (estimated), but it could be much longer before the ecosystems there return to normalcy.Answer:The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24 , 1989. That's 21 years ago. It was a much smaller spill. It is still not cleaned up and the local fishery is still in trouble. This larger spill with lots of sandy beaches and low lying land should take much longer.
How much bigger was the BP oil spill than the Exxon Valdez oil spill?
I will give a short answer, and then a bit longer one, beginning with the word "however." The Exxon Valdez oil spill resulted in 0.26 million barrels of oil (abbreviated Gbbls) and the Deepwater Horizon spill was 4.9 million barrels, so the BP spill was 4.64 million barrels larger. One barrel equals 42 gallons. However, controversy surrounds both estimates. I was surprised how big a range various groups have estimated the Exxon Valdez oil spill volume. The number of 0.26 Gbbls came from Wikipedia. They also give a higher estimate considered by some of 0.75 Gbbls. The estimates do become a bit confusing as they are given in cubic meters, gallons and barrels. Please see the side bar to the right of first link for these estimates in barrels. The estimate of the oil spilled in the BP oil spill comes from a Technical Task force, and is likely to be contested if BP is sued by the US government. When oil is flowing from a blown out well, accurate estimates are very difficult. The Task Force assumed that the oil rate began at a high rate, and then became less as the reservoir pressure declined. Reservoir pressure is important as it is the force driving the oil up the well. BP has suggested that just the opposite may be true. Oil rates could have been low when the blow out began, with a lot of debris in the well, then the rates increased as the debris was blown out of the well. So the short answer is 4.64 Gbbls and the long answer is nobody is in complete agreement on the numbers. The uncertainties of estimating volumes will probably mean there will never be complete agreement.
