Oil Disaster In The Gulf Of Mexico Still Threw 2,3 To 4,5 Million Barrels

Paris: Oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico still threw 2,3 to 4,5 million barrels of crude oil into the sea, the International Energy Agency estimated on Tuesday BP fought to stop the flow.

The agency also said that it was cutting its estimate of oil production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico with approximately 30,000 barrels per day during 2010 and 2011, due to delays in connection with the crash of Deepwater Horizon ".

IEA arm of the oil strategy of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in its monthly review of oil market: "Project delays could further restrict the future supply of dollars, if there are widespread restrictions on drilling in the accident at the request".


Nevertheless, the agency also said that throughout 2011 it is estimated, an additional 55,000 barrels per day of oil from the Gulf of Mexico, despite signs of a slowdown there is uncertainty regarding the moratorium deepwater drilling is starting to influence upstream on new projects.

IEA went on: "Until greater clarity prevails over the new regulatory and operating procedures and a deep drilling moratorium would remain in place, we refrain from including a greater downward adjustment to our forecast made in the USA.

"But the extended delay in the project if they occur, could reduce our 2015 outlook for production in the U.S. in the Persian Gulf 100,000-300,000 barrels per day."

The agency said that while he was writing his report, 60,000 barrels per day of oil, estimated to be derived from the victim's mouth out of which about 25 thousand barrels per day has been siphoned off in the localization system, and about one third, with the gas have been burned or flushed with.

"The remaining two thirds were collected, cleaned and sent to the bank." He said: "We believe that there is something in the range of 2.3-4.5 million barrels of crude oil spilled in total, with the exception of the volume contained, making it the largest oil spill in U.S. history."
