Kuwait Oil Spill
Oil Spilled: 5.7 million barrels
Cost in 2010: $484.5 million
In the largest oil spill of all-time, the Kuwaiti oil spill during the Gulf War is estimated to be almost twice the size of the Ixotoc disaster. The spill came as a result of the invading Iraqi army intentionally opening oil pipelines and dumping crude from tankers, in order to deter US forces from landing in Kuwait via the Persian Gulf.
To stop the spill of oil, American airstrikes destroyed pipelines in order to prevent further spillage. However, a multinational study on the spill suggests that there was little long-term damage, with about 1 million barrels recovered and as much as 3 million barrels washing on shore in Saudi Arabia.
