Oil leaks in Mexican Gulf
NEW ORLEANS — An oilfield disaster crew yesterday capped an offshore oilwell that sprang a leak in a storm and spewed an estimated 100,000 gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico near valuable shrimping grounds and oyster beds.
The Coast Guard said a 5-by-10-mile oil slick left southeast of the Mobil Oil Co. rig "should not present a problem."
A barge, shifting in the storm, sheared off a valve and let the oil pour out.
Court asked to modify
