Gulf of Mexico.
1. A fire and explosion occurred at approximately 11:00 PM CDT, April 20, 2010 on the Deepwater Horizon, a semisubmersible drilling platform, with more than 120 crew aboard. The Deepwater Horizon is located some 50 miles SE of the Mississippi Delta and contained an estimated 700,000 gallons of #2 Fuel Oil or Marine Diesel Fuel. (Related incidents: "Deepwater Horizon -- Florida Commands") Editor's Note: Initial notification reports are not necessarily post-edited and updated. However, in the Clean Water Act Trial, Judge Barbier ruled in the FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW PHASE TWO TRIAL on January 15, 2015, that 4 million barrels of crude oil were released from the reservoir, of which 3.19 million barrels or approximately 168 million gallons were released into the Gulf of Mexico.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL, CRUDE OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 205000000 GALLONS.
