Coast Guard estimates more than 1 million gallons of crude oil spilled off coast of Louisiana
The cause of an oil leak that allegedly spilled over a million gallons of crude oil along the southeast coast of New Orleans is under investigation, according to the U.S. Coast Guard Heartland.
The total volume of spilled crude was unclear, but the Coast Guard tells Fox News Digital initial engineering calculations determined the potential amount to be 1.1 million gallons.
The spill was first spotted and reported on Thursday around 6:30 a.m. and the 67-mile pipeline was closed, while three skimming vessels worked to recover oil on the surface.
The site of the spill is located about 19 miles offshore, south of the Chandeleur Islands and to the east of the Mississippi River.

On Friday, the Coast Guard reported on X that Clean Gulf Associates’ vessels skimmed and sampled crude oil approximately four miles southeast off South Pass, Louisiana, recovering approximately 210 gallons of oily-water mixture.
Remotely operated vehicles were deployed Friday morning and continue to survey the pipeline with no findings of a source area at this time, the Coast Guard said.

According to the Coast Guard, the vehicles will continue to survey the pipeline if weather conditions permit and the Unified Command is working diligently to determine the source of the spill.
So far, the Coast Guard said overflight assessments determined there have been no reports of injuries or shoreline impacts.

The Miami Heat could make a final addition to the roster prior to the start of the regular season.
The Heat recently worked out free agent wing Nassir Little, otherwise known as the ‘Zion Stopper’, according to Spotrac’s Keith Smith. Little played last season with the Phoenix Suns, where he averaged 3.4 points and 1.7 rebounds on 46 percent shooting in 45 appearances.
Many fans are convinced Little still has talent to offer on a championship contender. The two-way upside is undoubtedly the top quality of his skillset, as defense is how the nickname ‘Zion Stopper’ came about.
Little and Williamson matched up in the 2018 McDonald’s All American Game, where the former Suns forward put on a masterclass against the New Orleans Pelicans star. He scored a stepback mid-range shot on him, followed by multiple steals on the other end.
The Heat already have one lockdown forward rostered in Haywood Highsmith, but giving another a chance could come with benefits. Miami’s front office was unable to retain playoff riser Caleb Martin, creating a gap in the room. While sophomore Jaime Jaquez Jr. is eager to take a leap in an increased role, the 6-foot-5, 24-year-old offers an established two-way ability.
