Of the mixture, about 30% is oil, Chevron says, meaning nearly 240,000 gallons of crude have spilled out onto the earth. On Friday, California's Department of Conservation ordered Chevron to immediately"take all measures" to the stop the flow and"prevent any new surface expressions" near the well site.
Morgan Crinklaw, a spokesman for Chevron, told CNN via email that 18,905 barrels of a"oily-water mix" had spilled into a dry streambed in the canyon. He confirmed that 70% of the mixture is water.Crinklaw said that by July 9,"the seep has stopped flowing and the fluids are contained." He added that Chevron is"using pumps to remotely extract fluids from the containment area until regulatory agencies deem the area safe for entry and full cleanup.
