1.1 million gallons of oil may have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, according to the US Coast Guard (USCG). The spill was initially reported by the Third Coast Midstream pipeline company, and an overflight later that day confirmed a slick 4.8 to 6.4 kilometers (3 to 4 miles) wide.
The USCG has stated that βthe cause of the incident is under investigation.β Though not yet confirmed, itβs thought that the leak may have originated from the Main Pass Oil Gathering (MPOG) company’s (owned by Third Coast Midstream) pipeline system.
In the meantime, the USCG has stated that βthe Unified Command is coordinating with federal, state and local agencies to ensure the safety of the public, protect the environment, and respond to the incident.β
