Meanwhile in the Gulf of Mexico

The "Taylor leak" started hemorrhaging oil into the Gulf Of Mexico around 16 kilometers (10 miles) off the coast of Louisiana in 2004, after Hurricane Ivan caused a mammoth submarine landslide. Some 14 years on, with just nine of the 25 leaking wells plugged, it’s still spewing tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf every single day.

The quantities of oil are still a matter of contention and secrecy, but most estimates suggest it will become one of the worst offshore disasters in US history.

A big investigation by the Associated Press (AP) in 2015 found that the oil leak was far worse – over 20 times worse in terms of oil quantity – than Taylor Energy had originally reported.

Remarkably, the public only found out about the leak in 2010 when people investigating the Deepwater Horizon oil spill noticed an odd oil spill in satellite images of the area. Even after it came to light, they downplayed the spill’s scale and claimed that photos of the leak were misleading.

Taylor Energy is now defunct. Four years after the company’s founder died in 2004, the company agreed to sell off all its energy assets to Samsung C&T Corporations and Korea National Oil Corporation. A $666 million trust was set up to pay for leak response work, however, there is now a legal dispute over the remaining $423 million, which has been left unspent.

Meanwhile, the oil continues to flow.
