OGEL 3 (2010) Oil Spills
For the world-wide petroleum industry, the spring and summer of 2010, which could have been
remembered as the beginning of the process to open more offshore areas of the United States to
oil and gas exploration, will instead be remembered as the time of the BP oil spill.
In this OGEL Special on Oil Spills we take a first look at the implications
of this accident and the legal, contractual and regulatory issues of oil spills
in various countries.
