Shell Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Oil is visible on the surface of the water at the site of an oil spill at Shell’s Brutus Platform. Vessels continue skimming operations to clean up oil that leaked from a flow line at one of Shell's drilling sites about 90 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says about 88,200 gallons of oil leaked from the line. The company says the skimmers will pick up what oil they can from the Gulf's surface.
