The 2010 BP oil spill is a current oil spill, south east of Lousiana, in the Macondo Prospect oil field, in the Gulf Of Mexico.
Between 12,000 and 100,000 barrels of oil are estimated to be leaking every day (.5 - 4.2 million US gallons, or 1.9 - 16 million liters)
The oil drilling rig, named Deepwater Horizon, was nearly destroyed after a buildup of natural gas in the oil line. An explosion resulted, causing 11 people to be killed and breaking the pipe sending millions of gallons of oil a day spilling into the Gulf of Mexico.
