国际英语新闻:BP says tube siphons 2,000 barrels of oil a day from Gulf ruptured undersea well

2010-05-19来源:和谐英语
The "Deepwater Horizon" drilling rig, leased by BP, exploded and sank some 52 km off Venice, Louisiana, late last month. The untapped undersea wellhead continues gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

BP has put the leak at 5,000 barrels a day, but scientists fear the amount of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico from the undersea gusher could be significantly more.
