In 2010‚ BP encountered two predicaments. The first was stopping a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after an oilrig exploded. The second was persuading people that they were doing just so. The company damaged its environmentally friendly image when the Deepwater Horizon oilrig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20‚ 2010‚ eventually creating the largest marine oil spill in history. Eleven workers were killed‚ an estimated 6‚000 barrels of oil leaked per day‚ and years of irreversible damage

The Economic Impact of the BP Oil Spill In April of 2010‚ a British Petroleum operated oil drilling rig off the Gulf of Mexico‚ the Deepwater Horizon‚ exploded suddenly after high pressure methane gas from the oil well rose to the drilling rig‚ causing it to ignite and then sink to the bottom of the ocean floor.

In addition to this‚ the actual burning of oil as a fuel creates havoc in the environment‚ contributing
