As per NOLA.com, I don't link, sorry. South of Timbalier.
In the grand scheme of things, is that a lot, just asking.

A little over 2,000 barrels. Not devastating.

So can we sue them and use the money to rebuild the islands?

Estimate of 88k gallons means it was probably around 400k gallons since you are fined on each gallon spilled which causes the companies to unreport the spill.

We had some measurement techs there when the leak was discovered. Our helicopter surveyed the sheen.
