Fortunately, as a statement from Louisiana's affected Jefferson Parish attests, the leak emanating from the Cedyco Corp. wellhead is nowhere near as severe as the BP spill. The parish's public information office notes that "the volume of oil and gas leaking from the wellhead is unknown at this time but is not considered to be a large leak and appears to be mostly natural gas with light oil mixed in."
In a further bit of good luck, Coast Guard cleanup crews were able to respond quickly to the scene of the accident, having been stationed just a few miles away as a result of the April 20 BP spill.
"One of the positive things, I suppose, about having this response going on is we have a significant amount of resources ... there's skimming equipment close by and booming equipment," Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said, according to the AFP.
Breaking News reported that the earliest the spill was expected to be contained Tuesday by 6 p.m. EST, but it was still flowing as of Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. EST, according to the latest update from the Coast Guard.
Despite its comparatively small size, the new spill has made for some epic photography. Check out the pics we received from the Jefferson Parish Public Information Office:
