Examining Fate Of Methane Following The Deepwater Horizon Spill
2014-05-12 22:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout discharged roughly five million barrels of oil and up to 500,000 metric tonnes of natural gas into Gulf of Mexico offshore waters over a period of 84 days. In the face of a seemingly insurmountable cleanup effort, many were relieved by reports following the disaster that naturally-occurring microbes had consumed much of the gas and oil.
