The broken oil well pipe is located in a place called the Macondo Prospect oil field which is located approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) off the southeastern coast of the US state of Louisiana. The broken part of the well is located approximately 5,000 ft (1500 meters) or not quite 2 miles below the surface of the ocean.
The oil spill is drifting mainly into the coastal areas of Louisiana but it may also drift into the Coastlines of the other Gulf states of Alabama, Missippi and Florida.
