摘要: Several pollution events were reported in the Main Pass Block 288 area over a three-week time period beginning 31 May 2007. On 31 May 2007, the National Response Center (NRC) received a report (No. 837010) that indicated a 350-foot by 100-foot oil slick had been sighted in the Main Pass Block 288 area. In the following three weeks, four additional oil slicks of various sizes, color, and consistency were reported in the same area. On 23 June 2007, a major spill (the Spill) was reported to NRC in a subsequent report (No. 839690). The Spill covered an area 30 miles in length by 6 miles wide and was later estimated to be comprised of 187 barrels (bbls) of oil. The investigation by Minerals Management Service (MMS) was conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The investigation found that a pipeline transporting crude oil from Main Pass Block 288, Platform A, to Main Pass Block 289, Platform B, developed corrosion that created several holes. The pollution event of 23 June 2007, resulted from these holes.
