Is 20000 barrels of crude oil a day a lot?
Generally yes. The damage caused by an oil spill is related to a number of factors. But an oil spill of 20,000 barrels per day is very difficult to capture. The other factors include the proximity of the spill to the beaches and threaten ecosystem. Another factor is the number of days that the oil flows from the well. With the BP spill, it may be close to 100 days before the well is killed.
Why is it difficult to clean up the Gulf of Mexico's oil spill?
Oil spills are difficult to clean up in general. If oil spills from a tanker, the most oil than can go into the water body is the volume of oil in a tanker. However in this case, the well is producing approximately 5,000 barrels of oil per day (210,000 gallons). So, even mobilizing everything available to control the spill, oil booms, skimmers, use of dispersants, controlled burns, more oil keeps leaving the well. The large canopy that they are preparing to put over the well is not the final solution, but it should reduce the rate of oil that is entering the gulf waters. It should mitigate the damage. It is necessary to kill the blown out well, and BP is in the process of drilling two relief wells.
