Potential Source of New Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Discovered

Starting last Friday, the Coast Guard has been investigating reports of a 100 mile long oil sheen as well as a 30 mile shore impact of fresh crude oil along the Louisiana coastline.

Today, Houston-based oil company Anglo-Suisse Offshore Partners, LLC accepted responsibility for at least part of the reported oil impact.  The company was plugging an abandoned well between last Friday and Tuesday of this week.
