On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon Macondo oil well drilling platform released 4 million barrels (636,000

cubic meters) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It took scientists and engineers nearly three months and several different attempts to cap the well. The Macondo oil well was located 1524 m (5000 feet) below the surface of the water, about 80 km (50 miles) off the coast of Louisiana. The spill affected 2113 km (1300 miles) of shoreline along the coasts of five states. Most crude oil contains 84–87% carbon by weight. Scientists have not yet fully assessed the environmental impact of the accident.
