There are oil sheens in the Gulf everyday. These pictures are from 2006.
How do they go from the platform was not producing oil and gas to a sheen of oil a mile long!
According to the writeup, the platform had storage for 100 bbl of oil (it is reported as 4200 gallons, or 100 bbl.)
That would produce a pretty good size splotch, inasmuch as sheens can be as little as one molecule thick.
Stretching the truth.
It doesn’t take much oil to make a sheen a mile long, maybe a barrel’s worth in the right conditions. A Fire on the platform could cause a hydraulic line to break or a pump seal to crack, lots of opportunities for a leak, there are probably lines with production oil in them from tests even though the platform isn’t in production mode. I’m sure the MSm will make a big deal out of this but really it isn’t anything that’s going to effect the environment.
Deepwater Horizon was not producing when it blew up either. It managed to produce quite the sheen...
