A slick off the Gulf Coast was found after Hurricane Ida swept through the region.
An oil spill that appears to be caused by a leak from a decommissioned pipeline off the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Ida swept through the area has raised questions about the climate resiliency of the system that delivers oil and gas throughout the country as well as the federal government’s decision to let fossil fuel companies abandon thousands of miles of old pipeline at the bottom of the sea, where they can break open by storms....
The oil spill causing the slick, which is longer than 10 miles and spreading, is still leaking into the Gulf, an industry nonprofit executive who is involved with the cleanup told thethat they believe the oil is “substantial.” The Coast Guard believes the oil spill is from an unused pipeline belonging to Talos Energy, an oil and gas company based in Houston.
Another oil leak appeared to be caused after water from Ida flooded a major oil refining plant owned by Phillips 66, the Associated Press
