Oil saturates the beach in front of sandbags and booms in Port Fourchon, Louisiana May 22, 2010. For nearly a month, roughly 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons/795,000 liters) of oil per day have been gushing from BP's broken Deepwater oil well situated in the Gulf of Mexico, in what could be named the worst oil spill in US history.
