Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster And The Future Of Offshore Drilling

Â
On April 20, 2010, the Macondo well blew out, costing the lives of 11 men, and beginning a catastrophe that sank the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and spilled nearly 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill disrupted an entire regionâ€™s economy, damaged fisheries and critical habitats, and brought vividly to light the risks of deepwater drilling for oil and gasâ€”the latest frontier in the national energy supply. Soon after, President Barack Obama appointed a seven-member Commission to investigate the disaster, analyze its causes and effects, and recommend the actions necessary to minimize such risks in the future.
Â
The Commissionâ€™s report offers the American public and policymakers alike the fullest account available of what happened in the Gulf and why, and proposes actionsâ€”changes in company behavior, reform of government oversight, and investments in research and technologyâ€”required as industry moves forward to meet the nationâ€™s energy needs.
