I've flown over this leak several times and the severity varies. I've also seen the slick from SP 49 and it is nothing compared to the MC 252 leak. This was Taylor's MC 20 platform that was destroyed by a mudslide in Hurricane Ivan.

"The Mississippi Canyon 20 A 8-pile fixed platform installed in Federal waters in 1984, was completely destroyed as a result of a mud flow incident during Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. After Hurricane Ivan, the platform was found to be lying on its side, submerged nearly 75% below the mudline, approximately 800 feet from its original location. Estimates for cleanup operations have ranged up to $500 million (Taylor 2007).

As of June 2009, decommissioning and abandonment operations at MC 20 A are the last activity for Taylor Energy which sold and transferred all its other GOM properties to Ankor Energy in 2009.

Approximately 72.0 bbl seeped from the structure between July 1 to September 30, 2008. Three pollution domes were installed over three distinct plumes in May 2009.)
