[doublethink]

UPDATE 5/1/06: The US Minerals Management service confirmed today that at least one major spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of damage to oil and gas infrastructure caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita (see http://www.mms.gov/ooc/press/2006/press0501.htm). Under US law, any offshore spill larger than 100,000 gallons is classified as a "major" spill. At least 6 spills greater than 1,000 barrels (42,000 gallons) have been confirmed by MMS, with the largest being 3,625 barrels (152,250 gallons). Cumulatively, these six spills alone are at least 362,000 gallons. (For comparison, the oil spill from a well blowout off Santa Barbara in 1969 totaled 200,000 gallons: it caused a slick 800 miles long and oiled 35 miles of beach.) MMS also reports that 457 pipelines were damaged, 101 of which were large diameter (10 inches or greater); that 146 spills of at least 1 barrel (42 gallons) have been reported so far, with 37 of these spills being 50 barrels (2,100 gallons) or greater. MMS cautions that the full extent of damage and spills is not yet known. --
