I have included some lists of where oil spills have occurred. Some very large oil spills occurred during wars (Kuwait-Iraq War, Iran-Iraq War, World War II), and these were intentional, so they do not show up on lists of accidental oil spills.
Also, there are many different causes for oil spills. There are accidents associated with tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, production platforms and drilling rigs occurring in many different countries.
The list of oil spills differ. The list from 2009 does not include the BP oil spill. Some lists do not include smaller oil spills. The list from the tanker association includes spills from the transportation of oil, not the exploration, production and refining of crude oil. But all lists show that oil spills have occurred in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and South America. The US has a long history of oil spills as the US is one of the oldest countries producing and transporting crude oil.
