They find traces of oil on a beach in Tamaulipas

The suspicion environmentally speaking most feared by the Mexican authorities during the last month could be confirmed shortly. Because they have found on a beach in the state of Tamaulipas (north), located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico coast, oil remains in the solid state, which could come from the discharge of BP in the Gulf of Mexico. That is, their disastrous consequences would be closer to the coasts.

So far, local authorities have only that, a suspect and have opened an investigation to comprobrala after collecting the samples in one of the most visited beaches in the state, of Miramar, near the town of Ciudad Madero.
The local civil defense troops found the first other fuel, reports the Mexican state agency "Notimex." Then they combed the entire beach, although they have been found only small amounts of additional oil.

Given the possibility that these remains are the prelude to a 'black tide' that plunged into the costs of state, local authorities have announced they will open an investigation to determine the origin of oil and maintaining constant contact with federal authorities.

Indeed, just a week ago, the government of Mexican state of Tamaulipas announced it will sue the British Petroleum (BP) by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "Even if the stain does not reach the Mexican coast, the damage and disruption already started to generate, as are costs of environmental studies, preventive, and cancellation of investment," claimed then the governor of Tamaulipas, Eugenio Hernandez Flores.

The claims of the northern state joined the 20 million dollars that the Mexican Ministry of Environment will seek to BP to fund the plan of action against the oil slick that is already underway.

The oil spill has already cost BP more than 1,000 million euros

The British oil giant British Petroleum has already spent EUR 1.049 million trying to contain oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, not counting the 300 million pledged for reconstruction of artificial islands in Louisiana, as announced by the company.
This assessment responds to the expenditure on the tasks of containment of the spill, the drilling of wells, grants to the states of the Gulf of Mexico, claims paid and federal spending.
On Sunday, BP claimed that are taking significant strides in combating oil spill and that the group is picking up "most" of oil that comes out of the leak.
The container recently installed on the flight is leading more than 1,500 tonnes of crude per day on a boat on the surface safely, in his words.
Despite this initial assessment and containment efforts, the oil is cautious and says that it is still "early" to say with certainty the success of container installed last week.
In addition, the British oil announced in the same statement that he expects a second system of containment, which would increase the amount of oil captured from your well broken, will be available for operation in mid-June.
The system for capturing oil through a manifold, which was developed before the failed maneuver "top kill" to block the well, will add to an already deployed containment lid and could allow BP to capture almost all the oil.
