Texas Barge Collision Spills Up To 168,000 Gallons Of 'Sticky, Gooey, Thick, Tarry' Oil | ThinkProgress
[h=1]Texas Barge Collision Spills Up To 168,000 Gallons Of ‘Sticky, Gooey, Thick, Tarry’ Oil[/h]
A barge carrying 924,000 gallons of thick marine shipping oil collided with a ship near the Texas City dike on Saturday afternoon, spilling up to 168,000 gallons and forcing closures on the waterway.
“This is an extremely serious spill,” Capt. Brian Penoyer of the U.S. Coast Guard told the Houston Chronicle. “It is a persistent oil.”
The barge was being towed from Texas City to Bolivar carrying a substance called RMG 380, “a special bunker fuel oil often used in shipping that doesn’t evaporate easily.” As of 10 p.m. Saturday, the spill had not been contained and the Coast Guard was still investigating the collision. Thus far, Texas City Emergency Management said the dike and all parks on the water are closed until further notice and part of the Houston ship channel was closed to traffic, according to the Coast Guard.

BP refinery in whiting, Indiana announces spill into Lake Michigan.
Luckily it is a very small spill. But still is not good.

Continental CEO: Bakken Oil Is Safe
by Reuters

Wednesday, March 26, 2014
WASHINGTON, March 26 (Reuters) - The biggest leaseholder in North Dakota's booming oil fields said the crude shipped by rail to markets across the United States is safe, despite growing fears that crude from the Bakken formation is dangerously volatile.
Regulators say that North Dakota crude should be treated more carefully after a number of trains carrying Bakken crude derailed and exploded over the past year.
But Harold Hamm, the CEO of Continental Resources Inc, which is one of the pioneers in North Dakota drilling that ships crude by rail from North Dakota, said that as long as there are no accidents, the oil is not a threat.
"Bakken oil is safe," Hamm told reporters when asked if there was anything the company should be doing to make Bakken oil safer.
"Anytime you don't keep trains on the track bad things happen," he said. "It's like cars on the road. Oil will burn, it's got gasoline and diesel in it, particularly these premium oils," he said after a House of Representatives hearing on the geopolitical potential of the U.S. energy boom.

Until the price of gas get's over $3.75 nobody will bitch, just don't give a damn, but when the average goes to that plenty of folks will be posting on Oil Slick Stuff. They don't realize that the administration is keeping the price high on purpose. With our output in oil gas should be around $2.75 a gallon, but they are keeping it high to promote Green energy, that's why the XL Pipeline hasn't been approved. The bad winter [global warming] had no effect on prices, that just doesn't happen in the winter. In the winter heating oil prices go up because of use but gas prices go down, not this winter, WHY? Now the weather will get better and the prices will rise but from a higher starting point, and the problem in the Ukraine will spike it even higher. Welcome to the Obama Administration.
