This number is unknown as not all oil spills are reported, and many are not required to be reported under current legislation. The circumstances of the spill (indoors or out, contained or uncontained, in barren areas or in sensitive areas), the magnitude of the spills (drips or Mega liters), and the reporting jurisdictions requirements all affect reportability. Industrial associations and environmental agency data often provide spill numbers that meet their criteria.
