BP Oil Spill Timeline - Ongoing Disaster
Updated June 25, 2010
Despite the involvement of thousands of volunteers, the U.S. Coast Guard, and BP clean-up crews, the threat to human, animal, and sea life posed by the ugly shimmer of crude oil from the BP oil spill remains. Here’s a sad timeline of the environmental horror that gets worse each day.
April 20 - BP oil drilling platform, Deepwater Horizon, explodes critically injuring seven. Eleven workers are missing and soon presumed dead.
April 23 - U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry makes a statement that a wellhead oil leak seems to have been averted in the BP oil spill.
April 24 - U.S. Coast Guard announces that the BP well head is leaking about 42,000 gallons (1,000 barrels) of oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico.
April 25 - High wind and choppy water prevent the Coast Guard and clean up crews from getting to the BP oil spill site.
- BP oil spill now covers about 600 square miles of Gulf water surface
April 27 - (ROVs) discover three oil leaks but are unable to stop oil from continuing to escape.
April 28 - Estimate of BP oil spill is increased to about 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels)
April 29 - BP oil slick reaches the Mississippi Delta. LA Governor Bobby Jindal declares a state of emergency.
April 30 - Obama kills plans for new offshore drilling pending BP oil spill investigation results.
- Stench from BP oil spill blankets New Orleans and large parts of Louisiana coast.
May 1 - Estimates of BP oil spill ratcheted up to 1,050,000 gallons (25,000 barrels)
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicates that the BP oil spill will affect 20 National Wildlife Refuges.
May 2 - President Obama announces that BP is responsible for all costs associated with oil spill.
May 3 - NOAA states BP oil slick is moving toward Alabama and Florida coasts and Louisiana’s Chandeleur Islands.
May 4 - Senior BP officials admit to Congress oil spill could be as high as 2,520,000 gallons (60,000 barrels) a day.
- Reports surface that BP twice decided against additional safety precautions because of cost.
May 5 - BP ROV plugs one of three oil leaks.
May 6 - BP oil spill reaches Gulf Wildlife Refuges as BP attempts to lower containment dome.
May 9 - BP attempt fails to contain oil leak under 100-ton concrete/steel containment dome.
May 10 - Crews continue to use chemical dispersants, booms, limited burns to deal with oil on the surface and heading to shores. Oil spill continues.
May 11 - Reports suggest the BP oil spill disaster correlates to the Ixtoc oil spill in 1979 which took 9 months to stop.
May 12 - Oil spill still moving towards shorelines. Many sea animals reported dead.
May 13 - Companies argue over oil spill fault as oil continues to suffocate gulf; Obama plans tax hike on BP to pay for oil spill.
May 14- Accuracy of oil spill flow challenged. Believed to be more than 5000 barrels per day.
May 17 - Latest BP attempt at stopping oil spill somewhat working. Attempt involves a remotely operated submersible vehicle (ROV) to which a mile-long tube is attached. The tube is snaking into the broken well pipe and diverting the oil to a tanker floating on the water’s surface.
May 18 - Florida Keys reefs facing increased threat of destruction from BP oil spill.
May 21 - BP oil spill announced to be much worse than Exxon Valdez disaster.
May 27 - BP begins 'top hat' containment operation. Coast Guard 'cautiously optimistic.'
- Fisherman helping with BP oil spill clean-up effort become ill.
May 29 - EPA directs BP to search for eco-friendly oil dispersants.
June 11- Gulf coast locals petition Obama to lift oil drilling moratorium.
June 14 - Obama pressures BP on oil spill clean-up financial responsibility.
June 15 - BP oil spill containment operations interrupted when lightning struck Discoverer Enterprise, a ship siphoning about 630,000 gallons of oil daily from the BP well. Fire quickly extinguished with no injuries.
June 18 - BP CEO Hayward pulls “Sgt. Schultzisms” - “There are no suggestions I have seen so far that anyone put cost ahead of safety.”
June 23 - Judge Martin Feldman rules to overturn government’s six-month moratorium on deep water oil drilling in Gulf of Mexico.
- U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar orders new moratorium.
June 24 - New Orleans Federal Judge Martin Feldman turns down Obama Administration’s request for continuation of offshore oil drilling moratorium pending appeals decision, hence allowing offshore oil drilling to continue during moratorium appeal.
June 25 - Reports from Hurricane Center of 70% chance of storm in gulf. May worsen bp oil spill situation.
The situation is really looking grim. Let's hope for some good news soon.

neden kapatmaya çalışıyorsunuz madem sızıntı aşırı basınçlı tahliye ünitesi kurulsun kurulan tahliye borularıyla petrol sızıntısı hem dışarı alınmış olur.hemde deniz kirliliği durmuş olur. bence detaylı çalışma yapılırsa başarı sağlanır.basınç yüksekse neyle kapatsanız başka yerden kendine yer bulur. o yüzden dışarı çıkarılması bence doğru olanı umarım işe yarar.yararsa BP benden kıyak olsun
“QUE FALTA DE ETICA PROFESIONAL DE BP”
Como Experto Internacional en Control de Incendios y Derrames Petroleros demando la atención pública mundial para exigir una explicación técnica y operativa a los Ingenieros y Científicos de BP, que supuestamente diseñaron el “New Spill Cap” que no poseían para atender casos de emergencias petroleras, y que actualmente están utilizando exitosamente para detener el derrame petrolero en el Golfo de México, ante una copia fiel del Dispositivo “Stopper Extinguish Valdez” el Modelo II y el Modelo III, que fue presentado por medio del Email a Horizon Support el 3 de junio de 2010, a las 10:04:13 para ser analizado, aprobado, fabricado, colocado y ajustado al BOP Preventor afectado en el Golfo de México, que considero que pudo haber detenido exitosamente desde la fecha de su notificación hasta la presente fecha más de 205.000 Barriles de Petróleo. El equipo técnico de ingenieros de Horizon Support que evaluó el diagrama presentado con tan solo una información básica sobre su operatividad, resguardando así el mecanismo del sello para detener el derrame petrolero, El Sábado 19 de junio de 2010, a las 15:03;18. Se ha determinado que su idea esté incluida en una de las siguientes categorías ARTE: ¿Ya se considera la planificada, no es viable, o no sea posible, por lo que no se adelantará para evaluación adicional. Ahora resulta que mi mayor sorpresa fue, que aquel diseño de arte con que fue definido el Dispositivo “Stopper Extinguish Valdez” si funciono a la perfección como lo había pronosticado técnicamente, siendo copiado y fabricado por BP para detener el Derrame Petrolero. Aclarándoles que hay diseñado otro “Stopper Extinguish Valdez “Modelo II, que podría ser usado hasta 3.000 metros de profundidad para el control de Pozos Petroleros descontrolados, sin tener que eliminar o parar definitivamente la producción petrolera de la región. En espera de vuestro informe y una explicación para mi y el mundo entero Señores Ingenieros de BP. Email [email protected]

EL “STOPPER EXTINGUISH VALDEZ” POSEE EL SELLO QUE PUEDE DETENER EL DERRAME PETROLERO EN EL GOLFO DE MEXICO.- NO NOS PODEMOS DAR POR VENCIDOS,
Juntos podemos detener el DERRAME DE PETROLEO EN EL GOLFO DE MEXICO así lo afirmó Adolfo Valdez, Experto Internacional en Control de Incendios Petroleros, quién ha realizado junto con el equipo técnico e ingenieros, el ajuste final realizado al Dispositivo “Stopper Extinguish Valdez” para ser usado a 1500 metros del fondo del mar, en donde se encuentra ubicado el Pozo Petrolero Marino completamente descontrolado al emitir más de 5.000 barriles de petróleo por día, afectando gravemente cada día al Golfo de México. EL GRAN SECRETO DEL SELLO esperado para controlar, detener y parar el derrame petrolero, esta celosamente bien resguardado, y será presentado en su debida oportunidad al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, y ante la prensa nacional, una vez que haya sido construido finalmente el dispositivo, para hacer su definitiva instalación, y así terminar de una vez por todas con la terrible e interminable pesadilla de contaminación petrolera más grande de la Humanidad y del Sistema Ecológico Acuático del Planeta. Considero que la Sociedad Norteamericana va apoyar la única propuesta que hay actualmente, ante los fallidos intentos de BP por tratar de parar el derrame de petróleo que aún no han podido controlar, y no creo que no van a seguir esperando hasta agosto a que se derramen 650.000 Barriles de Petróleo.
