Deepwater Horizon oil spill notes and calculations
11th June 2010

I did some preliminary calculations on the size of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This set of notes appears here.

A pessimistic estimate says that the amount of oil spilled could be around 10 times worse than the Exon Valdez spill. This amount is still less than the worst spills on record. However, we shall have to wait to see what the actual numbers are.
