NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard was checking reports Thursday of a 10-mile (16-kilometre) oil sheen in the Gulf of Mexico near wells operated by Shell Oil .

A helicopter with a pollution officer on board was headed out to determine the source of the oil, Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Lehmann in New Orleans said. A report was expected later Thursday morning.

Shares in Royal Dutch Shell PLC fell in European trading early Thursday after it reported a "light sheen" of oil about 1 mile long and 10 miles wide in the general area of two of its production platforms in the oil and gas prospects called Mars and Ursa.

The company said the source of the sheen is unknown but it had no indication the sheen originated from its wells, about 130 miles (210 kilometres) southeast of New Orleans.

Shell sent a response ship to skim the area

Oil spills/volcanoes kill the planet.

Well, not really the planet. But the things humans need to live.

400 million by 2100 btw.

And Shell's the goto Arctic Ocean driller....;}

"From an April 12 Bloomberg report by Eduard Gismatullin:

The [Shell oil] company, based in The Hague, has had several leaks in the North Sea and Nigeria since August, which were the worst spills in at least a decade in the regions.

Separately, Shell said operational spills of oil and oil products doubled to 6,000 metric tons last year, up from 2,900 tons in 2010, according to the company’s sustainability report published on its website today. The Bonga field spill in Nigeria accounted for about 80 percent of the total volume in 2011, it said.

Shell’s new problems in the Gulf come as the company prepares to drill in the Chukchi Sea off the Alaskan coast.

According to a government statement, the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement “is taking steps to identify the source of a sheen reported today in the central Gulf of Mexico, and will continue to coordinate with the U.S. Coast Guard to respond to and monitor any potential pollution.”

We’ll provide updates to this breaking story as they become available.
