The Gulf of Mexico is the ninth largest body of water in the world. It is a small ocean basin largely surrounded by the North American continent and the island of Cuba. It is bounded on the northeast, north and northwest by the Gulf Coast of the United States, on the southwest and south by Mexico, and on the southeast by Cuba. The shape of its... Full Article

If Pemex is incapable of dealing with an oil spill in a river, how would they contain one at a deepwater project in the Gulf of Mexico?
Given the limited working interests in the exploration wells and the small scale of the projects, CNOOC's move is mainly for strategic purposes to further expand its business in the Gulf of Mexico, which is also important for CNOOC's global investment portfolio
Nexen's strategy in the Gulf of Mexico is to mature prospects at a high working interest, and then utilize joint venture agreements like this one to reduce our interest to our target level of 25%-30%, while recognizing the potential of our exploration portfolio
There’s a lot of speculation that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico caused more turtles to nest on the east coast last year, but it’s hard to say that’s the reason without a lot more data
The long-term effects are a problem ... What happens when oil is washed ashore? Right now, we'd have to take a so-called fingerprint of the oil, so that years later, we could still identify it if it washes ashore. In the Gulf of Mexico, Greenpeace took such 'genetic fingerprints' of the spilled oil.
The latter has become CNOOC's top priority following the recent oil spills tragedies in Bohai Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, as the firm moves into deeper waters for exploring oil and gas
Where energy and the environment do intersect, recently the focus has been on localized impacts like offshore spills in the Gulf of Mexico, the South Pacific or Bohai Bay; the path of pipelines in the American Midwest; or the effects of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater. Global warming, by contrast, h...
We look forward to releasing the testing reports from New Bedford and Barnstable Harbor ... Unlike the Gulf of Mexico, the waters are shallow surrounding Cape Cod and with the lower volume of water a small oil spill or oil contaminated storm water runoff poses a great risk to wildlife and the livelihood...
The sale of these mature assets will allow us to concentrate our efforts on the major production hubs and significant growth opportunities that BP has in the Gulf of Mexico.
If John Key is assisting Anadarko − the oil company that played a part in last year’s catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil spill − to develop deep sea drilling plans in New Zealand, then he needs to come clean
No demand for oil should be worth the dangers that this pipeline poses to our environment ... Unfortunately, Americans have forgotten the consequences of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico just a couple years ago, and, if approved, this pipeline threatens the same amount of damage.
