BP CEO calls Gulf oil spill ‘Relatively tiny’

The Chief Officer of British Petroleum told the UK Guardian newspaper that the oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico daily is “relatively tiny in relation to the total water volume.”

Added Tony Hayward, the Gulf “is a very big ocean.”

BP continues to stand by its claim of 5,000 barrels of oil gushing per day in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and sinking, even though several experts say the amount could be up to ten times greater.
