Template:Wikinewspar4 This is a reverse-chronological list of oil spills that have occurred throughout the world and spill(s) that are currently ongoing. Quantities are measured in tonnes of crude oil with one tonne roughly equal to 308 US gallons, or 7.33 barrels, or 1165 liters. This calculation uses a median value of 0.858 for the specific gravity of light crude oil; actual values can range from 0.816 to 0.893, so the amounts shown below are inexact. They are also estimates, because the actual volume of an oil spill is difficult to measure exactly.

Ongoing

Spill / vessel Location Dates Estimated flow rate (tonnes/day) Spilled (min tonnes) Spilled (max tonnes) Link Notes
Jebel al-Zayt oil spill  Egypt, Red Sea June 15, 2010 or June 16, 2010 to present (5310 days) not known not known not known

Following an explosion on a drilling rig, an underwater well gushed oil into the Gulf unrestrained until June 6, when a containment cap began capturing some. Relief wells are being drilled to stop the flow.
Taylor Energy wells  United States, Gulf of Mexico September 16, 2004 to present (7408 days) 0.03 – 0.05 62 96

Leaks resulting from Hurricane Ivan have been largely contained, but not entirely. Ocean Saratoga is drilling a relief well to permanently seal the leaks.
