A real case:

Deepwater Horizon Disaster

The Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in one of the largest environmental disasters in history, causing a loss of over 25,000 jobs, $2.3 billion in industry output & $700 million in labor income.

What went wrong?

  • Limited real-time monitoring capabilities hindered swift response.

  • Challenges in accurately estimating the spill volume and tracking oil movements.

  • Inadequate coordination among various stakeholders during the emergency.

Dealing with the fallout

Coastguard

Struggled for over 86 days with the massive scale of the spill, leading to huge challenges in containment and cleanup efforts.

Environmental Organisations

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration will work till 2030 to restore the Gulf’s ecosystems and wildlife.

Oil & Gas Industry

The cleanup costs alone amounted to over $65 billion, and as a consequence, British Petroleum's stock plummeted by 51% in just 40 days.
