Over the past five years, there have been numerous oil spills globally, though the exact number can vary significantly by source and definition of "spill." Major incidents, such as the 2020 Mauritius oil spill and the 2021 Gulf of Mexico spill, highlight ongoing environmental challenges. Smaller spills often occur frequently, but comprehensive tracking of all incidents is difficult. Estimates suggest hundreds of spills annually, but precise numbers depend on reporting standards and geographical focus.

How many shallow water drilling oil spills have occurred?

The number is not known or at least not published. The total number is spills from oil oil platforms is known and accounts for a very small percentage of all oil dumped or leaked into our waters. The number of spills is known: The Gulf of Mexico (267 spills) The northeastern U.S. (140 spills) The Mediterranean Sea (127 spills) The Persian Gulf (108 spills) The North Sea (75 spills) Japan (60 spills) Baltic Sea (52 spills) United Kingdom and English Channel (49 spills) Malaysia and Singapore (39 spills) The west coast of France and north and west coasts of Spain (33 spills) Korea (32 spills) The vast bulk are shallow spills and very few leak much oil. There are certainly exceptions but shallow oil drilling gives us far easier solutions to the situations then deep water does. The vast bulk of oil spilled into our waters is from permanent fixtures and sites. Pipelines are one example.
