The most common spill is from pipeline breaks. Many other sources of spills occur. Oil and gasoline storage tanks have leaked oil, harming the groundwater.
A blow out from a land rig can result in fire and toxic gas (H2S) released to the atmosphere, and cause injury or death to rig workers.
Crude oil spills can harm birds, mammals and vegetation. The spilled oil may remain in the soil for a very long time as it is very expensive to remediate oil soaked earth.
A land base oil spill does not spread quickly over large areas like some marine spills. For this reason, there is not the same awareness that land spills impact the environment.
