Olie strømmer ud fra undersøisk boring

Først gjorde den det, så gjorde den det ikke - og nu gør den det så alligevel. Der har været mange forskellige udmeldinger om olieudslip fra den sunkne olierig Deepwater Horizon, Men nu er der dårlig nyt fra den amerikanske kystvagt.

Kystvagten og olieselskabet BP vurderer nu, at der lækker omkring 1000 tønder olie fra borehullet under riggen Deepwater Horizon, der først brød i brand og senere sank. 11 besætningsmedlemmer omkom ved ulykken.

Olieudslippet sker på havbunden 1,5 kilometer under overfladen, og beskrives som en alvorlig miljømæssig trussel.

Meldingen om udslippet kommer efter, at en fjernstyret ubåd lørdag fandt resterne af den sunkne borerig på havbunden en halv kilometer fra borehullet.

En ny borerig, Development Driller III, ventes at nå frem til positionen mandag, hvor den straks vil gå I gang med at bore en ny brønd der skal aflaste den ødelagt.

På havoverfladen er de amerikanske miljømyndigheder i gang med den største miljøindsats i mere end 20 år, i et forsøg på at begrænse skaderne mest muligt. Indtil nu er der opsamlet 1.143 tønder olie fra havet omkring ulykkesstedet.
