Sheen was 13 miles long and 2 miles wide

A bit more than 88K.

Yea the producer is going to low ball that estimate..I initially heard some where around 10K bbls but who knows. Im sure they will have a better idea after the investigation of what the well was producing+time frame of the leak.

Which way was it headed?
Posted on 5/12/16 at 8:25 pm to Yaboylaroy

Current was pushing the sheen west, wind was out of the south west.

O
Considering a sheen is something like 0.002mm thick, that's only like.....
Shite I'm drunk. One of yall can do the math. But it ain't that much.

I wish they would dump10 billion barrels of oil into the ocean so the truck nuts re-appear.

Damnit.

If they measure in gallons, we will survive
I read that initially as 88k barrels

88k barrels means 2 power poles instead of one.

Posted on 5/12/16 at 9:52 pm to b-rab2
What was the location?
Posted on 5/12/16 at 9:57 pm to diat150
would be nice also.

It's a deep water well and that's about 2k bbls. This isnt a blowout, leak is from a producing well. Nothing to get excited about.

Seems many of you pessimists and fatalists are forgetting that we learned after the BP spill more damage was caused by the dispersants then by the oil.
Let the sheen drift and nature run its course. I don't think many oyster beds are 90 miles south if Timbalier and I'm confident the GOM can handle this event. Good lord.

You know I know that, I was just wondering where it was coming come.

In the grand scheme of things, is that a lot, just asking.
It depends on how close to shore, but in general that is not a ton of oil. That's about 4-5 stock tanks full on a typical site in East Texas.
Most of that can be corralled with boom and then sucked up. The rest will get broken down by naturally occurring microbes or the ones sprayed on it with fertilizer.
