The oil spill started when the oil grid at BP Deepwater Horizon exploded cause thousands upon thousands of barrels of oil to spill out into the Gulf of Mexico. Since then the administration had used its pull capacity to control the oil spill. One of the major solutions used is the deployment of millions of oil booms.
BP on the other hand tried various method to contain the gushing oil. The latest procedure it is using is the oil spill cap procedure. Several method used by BP previously have failed including the highly acclaimed "Top Kill Procedure."
