💨 Abstract

A decades-old oil well in southeast Louisiana has been leaking crude oil and natural gas for over a week, with up to 79,000 gallons of oily water mixture recovered near Garden Island Bay. The U.S. Coast Guard and Spectrum OpCo, LLC, the well's owner, are working to secure the well and clean up the spill, with an exhaustive cleanup effort ongoing. The cause of the leak is still under investigation.
