It has been more than two months since BP(British Petroleum) offshore oil spill off the coast of Gulf of Mexico. It was initially stated that 5000 barrels of oil spill per day. Now, the new estimate is 30,000 barrels of oil spill per day.
Exactly, how much oil is 30,000 barrels? I did some research on the data. Here are the results: 1 barrel is 40 gallon, and 1 gallon is 3.785 L. 30,000 barrels is equivalent to 4.5 million Liters. A standard Olympic size swimming pool has a volume of approximately 2.5 million Liter.
The results, BP oil spill is equivalent to 1.8 standard Olympic size swimming pool volume of oil spill everyday.
