until October causing the largest offshore oil leak in history Mexican officials say Jorge Diaz Serrano director of Pemex the stateowned Mexican oil company told news conference Thursday the well has poured 114 million barrels of crude into the sea as of Tuesday after blowout on June He said the wildcat well may be brought under control any day in the following month after Oct Pemex says the well will have lost 256 million barrels of oil by October although two million barrels will be burned off in the fire or evaporate Diaz Serrano described the offshore blowout as serious but not catastrophe Oil from the well has caused giant slick about 300 kilometres long in the gulf an important fishing area Pemex experts say the slick may become threat to the US coast COAST POLLUTEI The Ixtoc Uno well northwest of the Mexican port of Ciudad Del Carmen is losing about 20000 barrels of oil day Examiner Photo by Dennis Lanthier October capping date Gulf of Mexico oil spill may be biggeSt About 40 kms of Mexican coast have been polluted Foreign experts including US oil troubleshooter Red Adair have been working to contain the slick and cap the well Aircraft with chemical dispersants anld antipollution ships are clearing the The worst oil spill on record was caused by the Amoco Cadiz tanker which dumped 14 million barrels of oil on the French coast in March 1978 after running aground on the Brittany peninsula Despite the amount of the oil loss from the burning well Pemex officials say the environmental damage will be far less than that caused by the Amoco Cadiz because the oil known as Arabian light evaporates quickly Diaz Serrano said that 50 per cent of the oil was being burned most of the rest evaporated and much of what remained was being broken up with chemicals spread by antipollution crews Pemex experts said the large slick has been split into several chunks by wind and currents Oil experts hope to cap the well by drilling two relief wells into the side of the
